<p>mdb9903 -- Welcome!!

It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it <u><a href="https://navyformoms.ning.com/custom/media/pdf/NavySpeak.pdf">here</a></u>. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!)</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">The Expected timeline will look like this<br/>Day 0 -- Travel, Arrival and "I'm Here" scripted phone call</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 1&2<br/>Day 1-14 -- ROM (Restriction of Movement/ Quarantine-- Lots of studying and waiting) Unless they are Fully Vaccinated (2 weeks after final shot) in which case they skip straight to Week 3.</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 3<br/>Day 15-21 Arrive Onboard RTC and begin P-days (P-days- Initial Processing Days) including 2 days of P-hold (Weekend)<br/>Day 21-- Complete P days. (Initial PFT & Run)</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 4- First week of training <br/>Day 22-- Begin training and mail form letter out. Look for it to arrive around 1-2 weeks later</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 5 -- First inspections and tests (Dental May be this week or next... Not Confirmed)(Form letter/ Personal letters usually arrive this week)</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 6 -8 -- More training, Drilling (Flags and Marching), Fire Fighting training, Marlinspike (Line handling- How to tie up a Ship to the Pier) and weapons lessons, Confidence chamber( May or may not be happening yet, we don’t know for sure).. Warrior training in here somewhere.</p>
<p class="Normal tm6">Week 9 & 10 -- Stressful!! They have all their final inspections, PFA, Drills, BS21 and Tests. This is the lead up to the end!!</p>
<p class="Normal tm6"><br/>All of this is assuming no exposure to COVID with additional ROM<br/>Training typically occurs Monday - Friday but we have heard rumors that Saturday’s are now training days as well.<br/>Normal PIR will be 10 Fridays after departure from Home but it can be less by 1 but it can be extended by ???? (lots!!) It just depends on how many times they get caught in the “Ring of Fire” but do not get COVID. IF they get COVID, Once they are recovered they will not be removed from training again even if they are in the “Ring of Fire”.

<p>They had limited shuttles when we were there 8 years ago. We rented a car and drove but with the current market... Uber or Sarge's Taxi may be your best bet. I don't know if they are doing the shuttle yet... You will have to ask when you call to make reservations. COVID changed so many things so those of you getting In person PIR will have to share with us because we just don't know how things have changed from 2 years ago to now.</p>

<p>Here is a link to info I have posted regarding the Sandboxx app. The ONLY time it is suggested to be used is during boot camp. <strong>After they it should not be used as it is an OPSEC violation.</strong> Remember that any info you put in the letter can be seen by others so please be careful what you send.</p>
