Navy Dads

It was "AWESOME". Need I say anymore. The staff at the base were friendly and very helpful. Other than the hour wait to get into the base (traffic) when we could not complain. And this was at 6:00 in the morning.

When they give liberty call, we caught up with Kyle. He broke the news to us, he had to leave for A school in just a few hours.
I remember reading where some parents met them at the airport. So we made the mad dash back by our room, changed and drove down to O'Hara airport.
We waited with him until his flight left. As we waited, his flight was delayed for 2 hours. We were able to make phone calls to the rest of the family.
My wife could not believe how much he has changed in a lot of ways. But occasionally, we could still see our old Kyle.
Even his girlfriend noticed a lot differences in his mannerism. And yes, he did open the doors for his mom and Heather.
Heather, about fell out when he did.
Kyle called us after he got into Dulles airport. Since there flight was delayed here, they missed the connecting flight to Virginia Beach.
He said he would call us today, when he was able to do so.

Mike,

Congrats! to Kyle!

I hate it when I read about the grad-n-go's but atleast they let us parents wait with them at the airport before their flight. The experience of PIR is worth the trip itself. Wish ya'll would have had more time with him but that is the life of a Sailor. One day here, One day gone. On the bright side Kyle is now only a phone call away.

Best Wishes, EG
