A PIR is a Pass In Review. All of the new Sailors will march in and parade in front of the reviewing stands (where the guests and the VIPS sit). They then stand in formation while the Flags, Band, and Honor Guard / Drill units do their thing (which is pretty cool - things like a silent drill where they're tossing the rifles and twirling them and everything), there will be a couple of speeches made by the Commanding Officer and the Guest Speaker. They will also introduce the Company Commanders and Senior Recruit for each, and any unit or individual awards earned. At the end, they get liberty call :-)
It's a very powerful, emotional ceremony.
If you attend, you will see people dressed in a wide range of outfits. I would suggest dressing comfortably, but at the same time, the Navy does consider this to be a formal event, with all the military there (recruits, staff, and guests) to be in their dress uniforms, and the Navy "rule of thumb" they suggest for spouses / significant others of Sailors is to "dress to the uniform". So basically, something you would consider "dressy church clothes". Like I said, you will see jeans and stuff, and they won't turn you away (unless they're all beat up or have holes), because they get that this is the first time most attendees have been to a military ceremony, but it's not preferred. and lol - think about it like this, 50 yrs from now, your grandkids will see the pictures, with grandpa in his dress uniform, with you next to him.... ;-)
Bring a camera and Kleenex, and wear somewhat comfy shoes :-)
