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 mantha4 (Ship12 Div 050) on December 29, 2011 at 4:28pm: Yeah I've been checking out a lot of stuff. And we were gonna check out some places when I go down for graduation. If I chose to do it all myself would the reimburse me for it? That would be easier and make things a lot faster. Thank you so much for looking onto it!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 29, 2011 at 4:11pm: Prayers Anita!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 29, 2011 at 4:06pm: mantha4- Okay I checked with my Navy friends and here is what I was able to find out. This is the message she sent me :-)

I just double checked all of this with my husband because when he first enlisted his rate was AECF, but I barely remember what we were told about it. Basically he confirmed what I was thinking. She will get to move there as soon as he arrives and files the necessary paperwork for housing. If housing is full, she may have to wait until something opens up or he finds a place off base. In the latter case, it may be helpful for her to look for places online since he will be busy with school. But just let her know that the general rule of thumb is that when a school is that long, there is no waiting period.

So, If I were you I would go ahead and be looking for some places and maybe if make some appointments and check some places out while you are there for PIR just in case base housing is full. Of course he will have to file the paperwork and get that started very quickly. And it is my understanding that things happen much faster if you don't have to wait on them to move you. That seems to take a lot longer than if you can do it yourself. i am not sure what they will pay for or reimburse you for. Good luck and I hope this info helps.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 29, 2011 at 11:38am: Thanks navywife, check with them again, I answered all the emails last night and had several more this morning and I have answered all those. If they have not received an email from me now have them try again and let me know. I was away most of the day yesterday because my Sailor had just came home for our Late Christmas :-)
