Yes we are definately going to his PIR, and we are planing to participate in the Adopt a Sailor for Thanksgiving day. It's about a 3+ hour drive up, he called us and then sent the form, wanting to get out for the day so plan is to travel there then and a week later for PIR.

I'm not sure on the grad and go, I believe he told me with hesitation that he would ship out the next day, Saturday. He will be heading south to Gulf Port, Ms. He did say his training will be condensed to about half the original time for A school. What will your daughter be training for after boot camp? Are you planning to attend the PIR?

My daughter (Rachel) goes onto A school in Charleston SC ET (nuke) for 2 years….. Both my wife and I will be attending the PIR. Can’t wait! She told us in her first few letters she was given the nickname of “nuke”. I’m sure they know each other.

So you will be spending Thanksgiving with your son as well? If so how cool is that!

Yeh we are submitting the form to spend Turkey day with him. I'll ask him in the next letter I write him if he knows your daughter, you're probably right, they should know each other.

Glad you were able to see your sailors.We were able to take our son and an adopted sailor for Thanksgiving. So proud of all the sailors for volunteering to serve/protect our Country! It was really neat to see Moms and Dads reaction to seeing a changed person coming out to greet them. One mom was taking a picture inside the building of the Navy Seal when her son walked up and she saw someone in her camera and then put it down to realize it was her son about to hug her.
