Comment by Mario Lopez on February 23, 2012 at 1:53pm: and how can i get my phone back from my parents? i heard you cant take them back with you after the PIR Liberty, is that true? and if it is, how do i let them know what time i am leaving for the airport for them to meet me?

Comment by Mario Lopez on February 23, 2012 at 1:44pm: I ship to bootcamp early April and after that will be in San Antonio for A School. When i think of SA i picture tumbleweeds and cowboys with dusty streets. lol. not really looking forward to it. ive read that once we get the SA it may be a little while before we class up. does anyone know what we do in the mean time?? Thanks!

Comment by George Douglas Stricklin on February 23, 2012 at 1:15pm: Jim, I certainly will. Thanks for your offer of assistance but mostly for your service to our country. I will most surely have questions in the future.

Comment by George Douglas Stricklin on February 23, 2012 at 1:12pm: George, Thanks for the info on Fort Sam. I will definitely check it out. Your son may have made acquaintances with mine. My son said that his class will start around March 15th.

Comment by George Douglas Stricklin on February 23, 2012 at 1:10pm: Becky, we got our son about 11:30 the morning of PIR and he had to be back at his ship around 7pm. He left the base at 0100 the next morning for the airport and his 0530 flight. I was waiting at the airport, as were about 80-100 other parents, and got to spend almost another 2 hours with him. I would have stayed longer but had a 13 hour drive to stay awake for. Personally speaking, those hours in Great Lakes and the two at the airport were some of the best hours of my life. I agree with Allen in that I am still smiling and so proud of my son. Fair winds and following seas for you and your SR.

Comment by Allen Taylor on February 22, 2012 at 10:48am: George if you get on Fort Sam Houstons website there are links for navy corpsman. It gives alot of useful info. It details the steps and training sites for the different types of corpsman. My son troy graduated 2/17 and is now in San Antonio. He called and said it may be a month before A school starts.

Comment by Allen Taylor on February 22, 2012 at 10:41am: Becky my son just graduated 2/17. He left for San Antonio the next morning at 12:30am. We got to see him from10:30am till 8:00pmcst. Not much time but was sure glad to see him. Im still smiling and so very proud.

Comment by Jim Govoni on February 22, 2012 at 10:07am: Ask away anytime, some of us,like me, were corpsman and have sons and daughters in HM and other rates.

Comment by George Douglas Stricklin on February 22, 2012 at 10:04am: Good morning gentlemen. My son's PIR was 2-3 and he is currently in San Antonio awaiting the start of "A" school. I am now looking forward to learning as much as I can about Navy Corpsman. Hoo-Yah!

Comment by Greg Rahe on February 16, 2012 at 4:23pm: Congratulations to Class 025 on your graduation from A school. Good luck at C school or where ever your assignment takes you!
