Hey there, the big things to remember for PIR is to have ID for everyone over 17 and the Gate Pass for your vehicle to get onto the base. You can go to http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp to get the schedule for the day and the upcoming graduating PIR dates. If you are going to graduation, get there early, early, early. The line to get in gets long quick. They check to make sure your name is on the list the recruits submitted. Check out the meet and greet the night before at Sarge's! Very informative.

HELLO ALL: I am enjoying the letters my daughter is sending me from Ship 11 Division 407. She has made a very good friend in there. I only know the last name of the girl and the first letter of her last name is B and last letter in her last name is L. So if you are the mother of that young girl who also advanced to E-2 status with my daughter and became study buddys, please in box me!!! I am dying to talk to the mother of my daughter Navy BFF!!! xoxo Tiffany S

I got a letter from my daughter yesterday. They got their forms to order the Division T-shirts. They also earned one of the flags since their compartment was spotless for inspection. They finally know what the RDCs are looking for. Sounds like there is still some talking and bickering going on. At this point, they really need to start controlling that. People are getting ASMO'd. They completed their second PFA on Oct. 2nd. One more to go which is the one that really counts. This one determines if they go to Battlestations so everyone keep your fingers crossed!
If you are going to graduation and you want to sit in front of where Div. 407 is you should head for the far side of the ship from where we will go in. The divisions come in by Div. number and since they come in second from last, they will be on that far side.
Really excited now!
