Comment
I got my letter today confirming the recruiters information. Div 913 Ship 2 PIR 2/6/15
RTRbecca: Sorry, no way to "like" or comment under a post like FB. But you can comment above the post that you like!
heyashi: They will have a copy of the guest list from your SR at the gate. If you plan to drive on base, you will need the gate pass which you will be able to download about 11 days before PIR. Prompt will be on the RTC website. If you plan to take a shuttle from your hotel (usually Sarge's), no gate pass needed. You also can park off base at the train station, right past RTC, and not need the gate pass (but I believe the train station is paid parking...not much though).
Welcome to the new members!
Romepop: Sorry, the Adopt a Sailor for Christmas is only for the 01/09 and 01/16 groups. She will get a nice meal on the base and some will be able to call home that day, but with so many SRs on base, not too many. Some may be able to make calls PRIOR to Christmas Day so have phones close!
Good Morning All !
Romepop, I'm not sure of the guidelines, but I think I remember reading somewhere that it's for recruits that have been there longer.
April, Keep your phone with you at all times because calls are very random. However, the only calls you really can expect are the "I'm Here" call, the "I'm still alive" call (midway through), and the "I'm a sailor" call after Battlestations. Any additional calls would be extra rewards for a job well done.
RTRbecca, I have often wanted a "Like" button, too! :)
