Folks, This is a large PIR group...so was the last and I believe we had delays in Form letters there too. Think 14 x 88 = 1232 Recruits.
RTC usually posts new PIR groups on Mondays abnd they have been coming later in the week. Very Busy!
Hang in there and keep the faith!
angiesailorsmom - I am so sorry to hear this. Your son will be sent to Ship 5 while he goes through the discharge process. I have spent a little time on there. I will friend you and please ask me any questions you like. I am no expert, just a mom like you...but do know a little bit about the discharge codes.
I saw your post on the RCU group.
Here is Ship 5 link:
Yup...they did...they just added your PIR date to the Notes already there for the 03/16/2012. Please read all of there info...and ask us any questions you would like!
We're here to help!
I'll make a Discussion for up above with the link for easy acess to it!
You are now officially:
TG 20 — 14 Divisions (097–108, 809 & 920) Graduate Friday, March 30
As per RTC Website...another large TG. I'll see if RTC FB adds you to the notes like the last TG.
Oh yeah, ship 11 div 105, anyone out else out there?
your first name should be fine :-)
Got a message from my SR's recruiter with his address. He reported on 2/2, we got his boy in a box but no form letter yet. We believe his PIR will be on 3/30 but of course, we'll wait until we get it to make travel plans. Really anxious to hear from him!
@angiesailorsmom... My two cents... As much as I enjoyed my time in the Navy, it IS a government bureaucracy operating in a VERY litigious society. In other words, not only is it inherently slowed by reams of paperwork, but in the this particular case, the paperwork must ensure that there is a clean separation that won't come back to bite them.
Me? I'm not at all happy with some of the things read about these separations divisions. While the veracity of the comments I've read is subject to scrutiny, it would still be more than a little disconcerting if HALF of it is true.
angiesailorsmom, So sorry to hear this, Will keep you and son in prayers. Maybe he will call back with more info, so you could have him home sooner. How long had he been gone??
