Never got my 30 sec phone call??
Hi Kim, My son left for BC on the 3rd as well and we didn't get a call either. We did get the box though on 11/6. This was a relief as we knew he was there! Still waiting to find out his address and…

HI Sherry and proudmomma, we are staying in the Navy Lodge. We arrive Thursday night around 8pm at the airport, then rent car and drive. So we will be late but not leaving until Sunday...How about you two?
HI All, I am holding up ok, thanks. My son has only been able to call once which was last weekend and only for 5 mins. His PIR is 1/8 so I guess I will just be able to see him and ask him all the questions I have! It will be nice to have him go to A…
Hi Everyone, I just found this group! Thank you. My son is currently in BC with PIR date of 1/8. He is a nuke headed to SC afterwards.
This is for people who would like to meet other (politically and religiously) liberal people who have a loved one in the military.
Hi all - my son also called on Saturday. Only had 5 mins but he did say he was scheduled to leave for SC on Tuesday after PIR which would be the 12th. He also said he is EM. This was his first call home (not even a short one at the beginning to say…
I still haven't received a call from my son Steve, still waiting...several letters though and he never mentioned grad n go. I am bummed. Maybe a letter tomorrow from him and he will talk about it. Thanks for all the info everyone!
HI Everyone,
My son is ship 06, div 907. He is in the nuke program as well. I hadn't heard that they are grad n go yet. Is this for sure? We are flying in from Oregon and staying at the Navy Lodge so we may want to try and change that reservation.…
My son Steve got second best on that test - he missed one question! They didn't let him call home. He says he is doing ok. Was glad to have Holiday schedule on Thanksgiving. He is bored as well. Steve played trombone in high school and I thought tha…
My son Steve is in this division. He is also nuke. He said there is no date for A school, just when it happens. So, I think he thinks he is not grad and go but who knows if he really knows! He is also carrying a state flag. I haven't had a phone cal…
It is really hard to keep track of everyone when i go to the PIR date group! Nice to have this smaller group as well to meet and read stories. Thank you!
Well, we have a reservation at the Navy Lodge now! Just need to book a flight. Can't wait to see him. Anyone receive a second letter yet? I am trying to wait patiently for the mailman - thinking that if he could write on Sunday, I might get a letter…
We now have our reservations now for graduation at the Navy Lodge! Seems good, $65/night. Wondering how far it is to the actual ceremony from there. Anyone know? Now we just need to book our flight. Probably will fly Southwest since you can change y…
Hi Kate, Steve and Mike are in div 907, along with Kayla. I read below that you are staying at Marriot, something about a free room. Can you fill me in? Which Marriot? We will be making reservations tonight.
Welcome everyone who has a recruit graduating on January 8th 2010.
Hi Everyone,
My son steve is in div 907, ship 06. I got the letter yesterday (11/12) and I got a personal letter from my son! Yea!!! I think I have read it about a dozen times. He seems to be doing ok. He said that they hadn't been cleared for PT y…

- Hi Eileen,
My son left today for GL. He actually is probably arriving there as I write this. I' m feeling very blue of course. I'm surprised you haven't received th phone call yet. I thought they did that right away. We spent a good part of the day with him at MEPS today and said goodbye around 1:00pm. We live about 2 hrs from GL so we will be driving to graduation. Keep in touch.

Carol Aileen said… - You are welcome Eileen! is your son going into the nuke program? does he have any questions my son can answer for you guys? don't make your plane tickets ( unles you can change the dates) until you find out for sure when PIR is - sometimes the length of BC is different - Aaron's was shorter than most - then some guys who got there the same week as he did ended up starting later and their PIR was 2 weeks later!

georganna said… - Hi Eileen,
I haven't been on this site very long either. My son, John's last day with us for awhile will be Nov 1 where they will drive him to MEPS and then onto BC on Nov 2nd. My son got sworn in when they did his physical back on Jul 23rd. He wanted to leave the soonest and ended up following in his older brother's foot steps. The same career field (FC) Fire Control with all the same training schools that his brother went to back in Jan 04. He transferred onto Friggates years later. He is on ocean duty now. I'm hoping to get an email from him soon. Is your son also going into subs? Maybe our sons will meet.
Hopeful, Georganna

Wendy (Jim's mom) said… - I wasn't able to leave a comment on the discussion you started so I decided to comment directly to you. Our friend graduated from boot camp on Dec. 24th with some of the new sailors leaving for their new assignments immediately after the ceremony without the chance to go home first. The Navy operates 365 days/year so I wouldn't be surprised if your son's PIR is actually on Jan 1.

- HI Eileen! welcome to N4M's!
This site is great to get you though the next few months - there are a couple of groups you should be checking out - they were my life lines before BC and during BC - they are:
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/deppersinbutnotyet
and
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms
Good places for advice and support.
PIR is usually on a Friday - it was wonderful to be able to go and watch. one thing you should think about is to maybe plan to get there on Weds - My Sons PIR was 2/27/09 - we flew out of MT and had several weather issues and long story short we made it to Great lakes about 2 hours before needing to be in line - that is after renting a car and driving from the airport in Indiana we were stuck in. Weather problems caused major delays for us.
my son had checked out OSU's Nuke program, he is hoping to get there if accepted inthe officer program! We try to get to the coast every 1 to 2 yrs - love it out your way :)
