Ok, congrats to 069-072!  Surprised that they are having the 900 division go through so late.....poor things will be so tired when performing at PIR, but hoping that their excitement of graduating will fuel them!  I believe I haven't ever seen the 900 division go through this close to PIR, except for many one time in the past 5 yrs.  Strange that they did that....but know they will be great on Friday!
Good luck to the remaining divisions going through tonight!

Congratulations!!!
Comment by Brandon's Mom on January 21, 2015 at 7:30pm

I officially have a sailor!!! All of div 071 passed except those out for medical or PFA reasons. Hooyah!!!!!

Comment by CatMom509 on January 21, 2015 at 6:52pm

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!!  Safe travels to all to an awesome PIR!!

Remember, PIR is just the beginning of the Navy journey.  Keep plugged into Navy for Moms where there are groups for A school, C school,  ratings (jobs), bases, ships, states, regional, twins and multiples, and the Christian Chat that I am a part of!

Also, the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command page on Facebook puts up photos from each PIR.  If you see your Sailor in a pic or more, you can download it to your own computer by either clicking on the picture, going down to Options and downloading it OR right click, "Save Picture As" to a file on your computer~~

Thanks for the good info FireTeamLeaderWife. What would we do without you?! Thank you for helping to make this whole thing doable. :-)
Comment by diannep on January 21, 2015 at 11:31am

Dsmom:  Thanks so much for the into on who went through BattleStations Monday night.  They may have lightened up the schedule (usually 3 or 4 divisions go that night) because it was a holiday. 

So, I'm thinking that 069/070 and 911 may have gone through last night.  Keep those phones close this afternoon!

Good Morning!

BLEACHERS:

Are cold! I brought a shawl to either sit on or wrap myself in.

Don't set anything down on the bench that is thin like a camera, cell phone, keys, etc. The floors of the bleachers are solid except underneath the seats there are openings just wide enough and about a foot (?) long for modern day devices to fall through...it is like a black hole...you won't get it back.

PHOTOS:

Take a few practice shots before the ceremony. They can come out dark. I think it's all the grey paint LOL.

You may start photography when you enter the Visitors enter (USS YORKTOWN) and in Midway Ceremonial Drill hall...only. Photography is not allowed anywhere else onboard RTC. You risk having your camera confiscated and the pictures deleted. Also, your Sailor could get in trouble. They are your sponsor while you are onboard RTC.

SMOKING is also not permitted onboard RTC.

SNACKS

There are concession stands at either end of the PIR hall that sell soft drinks COFFEE water and some snacks. You may bring some snacks into the Hall with you if needed for yourself,little ones and those that may need it for medical reason. They used to sell "Dixie cup" (Mens style) Sailor hats for the kiddies for $5. I hope they still do.

POSTERS, BALLOONS, FLOWERS and LUGGAGE

Are not permitted in the Drill hall. Posters obstruct others view. Plus, this is a Formal ceremony and they do not suit the event. You may keep these items in your car and present them to your Sailor following PIR but remember that they may not bring those items back onboard RTC when they return from Liberty.

WHEELCHAIRS

Use of wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aids are authorized onboard RTC. Wheelchair accommodations are provided on the Drill deck and a companion seat is made available for someone to sit with them. RTC does have wheel chairs on a first-come first-serve basis. Also, if you need handicapped parking be sure to show your placard to Security in the Gate Shack and they will direct you to handicapped parking.
