Friends,
This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon. Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and when you pass
through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord,
your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."
Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Still waiting to hear if my daughter gets to graduate on time. Her medical re-eval is tomorrow so I sure could use some Navy Mom prayers.

mydojo213 - YAY!!! Very happy for you and your future Sailor! Thank you for letting us know!

BTW, never give out your Sailors itinerary to anyone. It is "movement" of personnel (where they are going )and so breaches OPSEC.
Also, your Sailors are not on Leave or Liberty while they are in transition to their A schools so it is best not to leave the AP's. It is not really "free time" they are on Navy business.

Lisa - The only person that can give you exact time and place is your Sailor. They will not know their itinerary until a couple of days before PIR or on PIR day.
Basically:
The sailors are bussed to their AP's in the wee hours of the morning, usually between 1-3 AM. It varies. I have read of some going later (large PIR groups I think but again it varies). Their flights could be anytime later that day and sometimes into the evening. It depends on flight availability, but they all get bussed at the same time.
Each AP has a USO for the Sailors to wait in after they have processed in at the AP. They may also go to other areas of the AP. The USO is OUTSIDE the secured area at O'Hare and INSIDE the secured area at Milwaukee and Midway. Meaning that at O'Hare civilians can get to it on their own but at MLK and Midway you have to be with your Sailor to do so.
If you get to the AP at the same time as your Sailor you can most likely meet them at ticketing. If you get there after they have gone through ticketing and gone on to the USO you will have to arrange to meet them somewhere (ticketing is a good place). It is best to make sure that your Sailors have working Phone cards as they cannot get their Cell phone until you meet them at the AP (or later if you mail it to them at A school).
Please see this Discussion (it is up in the Discussion Forum for reference at anytime) for detailed info, also for a card you can make up and mail to your Recruit to fill out their Itinerary and give to you at PIR (make sure to tell them to give it to you at PIR NOT to mail it):

I cannot believe only 8 days until PIR! So very excited! Can anyone tell me how we know what time to arrive at the airport and where in order to meet our new sailor before they head out to A school?
