Hey everyone, I want to give you a "HEADS UP" to be prepared to receive calls from your SRs this weekend! The call will show up as "847", "Waukegan, IL", "Pay Phone", or "Government" or anything else that may be unfamiliar. If it is a sales call, just politely tell them "No, thank you." Please also let your family members know about this too~~
During this time in Boot Camp, please keep your cell phones charged, ready, and with you all the time---upstairs, downstairs, out in the backyard, in the bathroom, out to get the mail, of course, out on errands. If you are going to a loud restaurant or a movie theater, remember to put it on "vibrate" and put in your pocket or some place you can feel it. They can call during the week or weekend, so just be prepared: 6:00 am - 6:00 pm (West Coast); 8:00 am - 8:00 pm (Great Lakes time); 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (East Coast).
Federal Holidays do not count as training days....but no worries....these are all factored into their training and they get it all done in time.
http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433 Just a little insight to what the recruits are doing, in case someone hasn't seen it.
Happy Friday!
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.
As the heavens are highter than the Earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways and
My thoughts higher than your thoughts."

Sadly NightCrawlerMom, there is no guarantee the 900 divisions will perform in a PIR prior to their own. Just bad timing for our 916-ers!! But I'd still rather have a 2/27 PIR than have to wait until 3/6 like some others who arrived the same week, so I'll choose to look at it that way. :)
Sorry squints, I still don't know where that is or how official the info is?
I am soooo sad about 916 only performing at their own PIR. Is this a certainty? Where does this info come from?
Squints: Are you saying that they will not perform in the 01/30 PIR graduation? Normally, they perform in 2 graduations prior to their own, but it may be different when a group has two 900 divisions....maybe they split them up and they each only perform in one graduation prior to their own. It is rare that they have two 900 divisions in the same PIR group....usually there is just one.
