She was able to call home on Christmas day, and also last Sunday afternoon (1/5). Also have received one letter fro her. That is it so far. She did mention on her last call that she would not be able to call again for a while. Not sure how long that will be. Only 25 more days til PIR!

My son will graduate this day as well. We are looking forward to being able to see him. Have you heard from your sailor?
It not only talks about Sarge, but also about his Meet and Greet that he sponsors the night before PIR. It sounds like a great event, and my wife and I plan on attending.

Hello, my son will be graduating this day as well. Can you tell me about Sarge? I have heard of him but that is about it. Thanks.

Very cool! Where will you be travelling from? We are in Kenosha, WI, so just over the border.
Michael....just keep an eye on the weather. As long as it doesn't snow a couple days before PIR you should be fine. They do a good job of keeping the main roads cleared around here. It still may not hurt to have a Plan B in place, just in case. As Jim suggested, call Sarge. If the weather ends up being bad, you can always cancel your rental car and get a ride from Sarge.

Ron, We are flying from Lakeland, Fl. Out of Tampa to Milwaukee then renting a car from there if the weather is not bad. Kinda nervous about it though because we have never seen snow much less much less driven in it. Freddie, Sarge owns a taxi company that takes fantastic care of Sailors and their families. He host a meet and greet on the Thurs. night before that is supposed to be very nice and informative.

Congratulations!
