Great conversation below and great to see my son's PIR last week!  As I recall there was discussion about posting pictures; where should pictures be posted?  I was sitting behind a family at PIR who took good pictures and I asked them to send me a copy; I'm afraid they were completely blocking my view, so I didn't get good pictures in PIR Hall.  I'd love to see others pics and will post any that I get.

I'm not sure about the hair. She did say they get 5 mins to shower. My wife didn't get the memo about the test run with long hair, so she cut 2 years of hair off before she shipped. I'll try to find out when I talk to her this evening. She also complained that the marching is what aggravated her foot situation in the first place and it hurt more to march than run with her particular condition. I think the SRs will appreciate tennis shoes for marching AND running haha!

JHubby,

I'm wondering if they give females more time to get in and out of the showers.  When my Sailor daughter was in Boot Camp 2 years ago, they had to be done in 4 minutes.  Does allowing long hair give them more time to shower too? 

Oh, also, were they trained to put their hair up in a bun?  I think this was the main reason for allowing females to keep their hair rather than cutting it short. Thanks!

JHubby:  Oh my gosh....they are STILL telling the sailors they can't go into Navy Lodge?  I thought they cleared that up.  I was told they did.  Maybe some of the RDCs "didn't get the memo."  Thanks for telling us that.

Great idea about the tennis shoes!  I hope this helps with the shin splints, although I would have thought they got those from running?  Maybe not. 

Thanks for sharing info with us!  It helps alot for the future groups.  Congrats to your Sailor Wife!

Nothing was different. I walked in and felt like I knew everything! My wife did mention that they were not allowed to be at the Navy Lodge during liberty, so I'm glad I stayed in Waukegan. The Courtyard I stayed in ran a shuttle to and from PIR for $3/head. Also, women don't have to cut their hair at this point in time and all recruits in classes from here out have to wear tennis shoes for one hour every four hours to alleviate shin splints.

Hey Everyone,

Is there anything that changed from what we told you?  We just want to be current with our info to pass onto future PIR groups~~  Thanks in advance!
