In regards to the airport they fly out of both; he should have the details on his orders and he will be able to share with you after PIR

Jmcserz my son had PIR 11/22; I personally had a carryon bag with his civilian clothes and his book bag with lap tops cell phone charges etc .. he had no issues carrying it as a matter of fact I was not the only parent with bags at airport for my SR; and he was happy to have his civilian clothes handy when he was able to use them he didn’t had to wait for me to mail them or spend money buying new ones

Greetings NavyStepMom, congratulations on being part of the CTI DLI family. My sailor was told at the end of BC. He didn’t get his request but is very happy with what he got. So no worries, all of the choices are great.  I have gotten to visit Monterey so if you have questions feel free to ask.

Hi NavyStepMom, first congratulations to your sailor for being in the prestigious rating of CTI. My CTI was given the language at Gl then when they arrived at DLI they requested a different language and it was granted. If your CTI2B does not care which language he has then it will probably be the one given near the end of boot camp.

Hi, My sailor is in BC right now and PIR is for Sept. 7.  He is off to Monterey right after.  It is all very exciting, but seems like anything can change at anytime.  When did your sailors find out their language?  Was it at BC or DLI?

Hi all. My second sailer for RTC on July 3rd. He is CTI bound. My first sailor is a Nuke (MM) in PowerSchool.

That's great Babbit!  Our sailor is there now.  He has made lots of friends since December and is enjoying the beautiful weather.  Ours got his first choice language too.  :)

Comment by Babbit on March 12, 2018 at 11:41am

They made it to DLI after some delays! They are unpacking and organizing. My son and his buddy from the division got their first choice language. They are breathing fresh Monterey air and are happy!

Comment by l4d4wn on February 12, 2018 at 10:41pm

Hi everyone! My son leaves for RTC Feb 26th. We're excited to find out his language. I'm so happy to find this group!

Comment by mkl7993 on February 6, 2018 at 9:23pm

@sambam32, yep they aren’t getting any kind of break. My son was excited about getting the brown boots. He doesn’t have to shine them.
