Our son is in "C" School at Jacksonville JAX now and will Graduate the 21st of this month. After Graduation he will move across the street to his Squadron VP-45.
We will be going down for graduation a couple days before so we can hang out and spend time with him that weekend.
My Dad was in the Navy he was on the USS Essex (Carrier)
and was stationed at Mayport so it will be great to see that area as well.
Anything you could share about the area would be greatly appreciated.
Pete - Rookie isn't the word for it lol I still have so many questions that I resorted to calling his original recruiting officer for answers. His recruiter has been a great help and maybe your son's can be one for you also. I don't know if anyone told you but when you do start getting letters and you reply back it is best to not let them know how much you are missing them, it only makes them more home sick. I know it was so hard for me to write letters without saying those 3 words but it can be done. :) Keep us posted on his progress!
Yeah, I remember driving by Whitey's, but during my 10 years in the area I don't think we ever ate there. Have a happy 4th of July! Where are the fireworks now?
