Mari, I noticed your question in the Ask A Sailor group but I'm not sure of how many or how often the Sailors check the group. My son also attended A school in P'cola. They do get weekend liberty. You can go visit him anytime you want just make sure he doesn't have watch that weekend. He will be able to travel up to 300 miles from base if his chit is approved at the beginning. Depending on the time spent in P'cola, he will eventually be able to fly home no matter how far it is if he's there for a long period of time. Hope this helps a little.

Mari I wanted to stop by to tell you that you have a very proud husband. I've enjoyed having Luis with us since the beginning and I'm glad you decided to join us too. I hope y'all have a great time at PIR. I can't wait to see the pics from graduation. Talk to you soon.

Welcome to NavyDads Mari! I'm sure you'll find the site as fun and useful as I have. Explore and make some friends, add your comments to a discussion or two, read the postings in the various groups-- even start one or two. I have! If you have any questions or concerns about your sailor and what he is going through...ask! I'm sure someone here will have the answer or can point you in the right direction to find out. I'm lucky enough to have two sailors- my son Eric is on the tail end of a seven-month cruise on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and my daughter Kat recently returned from a seven-month cruise on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). And Mari this is a great place to brag about your sailor as well! So join in and let us know how your sailor is doing!

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. Thanks to one of our members we have two excellent videos that you can access from the Video area on the NavyDads.com main page: New Bootcamp 1 of 2 and New Bootcamp 2 of 2. These videos will answer many of your questions and concerns and will give you a better understanding of how the United States Navy transforms our children into sailors!

Be sure to spend some time in the Bootcamp group- there are many questions and answers available to help you understand what your sailor is going through. And as PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul

Mari, Welcome Aboard! and thanks for joining us dads. I'm so glad to have the moms on here to keep us men in line. We will help in any way we can. So please jump right in share concerns, join groups, and show off your sailor. I hope this site will benefit you during your sons journey in the Navy. Thank your son for his service for me and thanks again for joining us.
Sincerely, EG
