Welcome to PIR 01/27/2012!

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 4, 2011 at 12:55am: Thanks FTL,

I already asked her in the letter wrote last night but asked here in the meantime. Yeah I know it's confidential so wont post it. Thanks for your help.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 12:52am: Every vehicle needs a pass.

Comment by BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 4, 2011 at 12:27am: Form letter says if driving a vehicle onto bas will need to sl parking pass for SR PIR..says the passes are password protected, but the line for PW is blank??? Could it be because my husband is retired Military so we don't need parking pass since we can get on base anyways? Or does every vehicle need pass no matter what?? Just concerned cause line is blank?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 4, 2011 at 12:25am: You need the password in order to get your gate pass to enter RTC base. Please write your recruit and tell them you need him to write back and send the password. This is confidential. Please do not post the password here in order to help out. It allows entry to a military installation. You have time, don't worry. Also, when you are allowed to type it in it must be in all caps. Passwords are PIR specific.
Even if you take the shuttle to PIR )you won't need the gate pass then) but want to drive back onto base to return your sailor you will need the pass.

Comment by sofas mom ship 03 div 047 on December 4, 2011 at 12:06am: no password needed for pass, right?

Comment by BDee76(Ship 03 Division 048) on December 3, 2011 at 11:50pm: Have a question hoping someone can answer for me. I rec'd the form letter yesterday but where the password for PIR (guess the parking pass & such) is suppose to be it is blank? Is this normal? Will they send PW closer to date of PIR or should I be concerned? Thanks for any help!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 3, 2011 at 10:46pm: Welcome Laurie!

Comment by Laurie on December 3, 2011 at 10:43pm: I received form letter yesterday also. He seemed very upbeat but did say he can't wait until graduation. I am counting the days myself. Keeping busy helps. I am in full time ministry which includes 3 different jobs so I am pretty busy all of the time. I am just hoping this winter isn't too bad up there for them.

Comment by diannep on December 3, 2011 at 10:14pm: As Lala explained, there is a difference in "boot camp weeks" and "training weeks." They can actually be in processing days sometimes up to almost 2 weeks after arrival which delays the start of "training weeks". So the important count is the "training week" count which goes as Lala said...week 1 day 1 starts it. The days only go up to 5. Weekends/holidays do not count in the day count. So if they are 1 (week) 3 (day) on Friday, for instance, then on Monday, they will be 1(week) 4(day). They "lose" a day when there is a holiday, meaning that their training day moves back one day. Don't worry, they still graduate on time...They are ready for Battlestations (final test) by 6-4, 6-5. They PIR in week 7.
