Yay, the letter finally came!! My son is ship 02, div. 911, PIR 1/23/15. Now I can start mailing my letters. Glad I waited for the letter as the address is a little different from the one the recruiter gave me!

The recruiter gave me my daughter's mailing address like two days after she was there.  I have been writing her everyday... and when she called.. .she said please write everyday!!!

nvygrlfrnd:  You can contact your SR's recruiter to get the PIR date and Ship/Div info.  That way, at least you know what group he is in.  Was he sending the form letter to you or could he have sent it to someone else?  They can only mail out one....unless it is a divorce situation....they are then allowed to ask to send a 2nd one, but many times, they don't want to ask!

Good Morning All !

Kristina1816,

After helping out on all these PIR groups for the last 21 months, I've figured out the Navy's Boot Camp pattern...  Your SR brother will call again next weekend or during the week for security info, so just have all your phones charged and accessible!  Look out for "847", "Waukegan, IL", "Pay Phone", "Government", but pick up all unfamiliar calls during Boot Camp!  If a sales call, just be polite when you tell them "No, thank you~"

SECURITY CLEARANCE CALLS

Here is something on SECURITY CLEARANCE CALLS:

There is the possibility of you receiving a phone call from your SR (Seaman Recruit) during the first one to two weeks (sometimes later as well) after their arrival for Security Clearance info. I received mine one week after my son arrived at RTC. Had no idea it would come that fast. I'd only really been on the site for a week or two, so I had NOTHING ready! (My son asked for two more names along with their phone number and address. Sometimes you may be asked to fax the info but he was told to get it from me right then.).So... if your Recruit has a rating that requires security clearance information...800 Divisions, IT's, CTI's CTT's Nukes, AT's (the list goes on!), anyone that handles confidential info...have a list of references by the phone.

This is a short business call and is monitored. No time for chit chat...but once in a great while the person monitoring the call allows a few extra minutes.

The area code for GL is "847". My security clearance call, the caller ID said "US GOVERNMENT". We have also had "PAY PHONE" reported and then area codes for the surrounding areas...so answer all...and just get rid of those telemarketers!

Also, if you receive a call from your SR (at any time...not just the Security Call) and miss it...please do not call the number back. Your SR could get in trouble.
