Hi, all . . . you're about a month away from PIR (Woo-hoo!!!!!!), so I'm going to post a series of lengthy entries on HOW to get personal belongings to your Sailors after PIR, whether they are (1) staying at Great Lakes for A School or (2) Traveling to another location. I also address some thought about WHAT you may want to think about bringing. Finally, you'll see info on Airport Gate Passes, to allow you to spend time in the airport with your sailor.

I recommend creating a folder or binder for your PIR planning. This should have:

• your form letter--with the date and the code to get your RTC gate passes if you will be parking on base in your own or a rental vehicle.

• your travel itineraries, hotel & rental car confirmations

• A print out of all the SARGE meet & greet info; there's also info in this post about restaurants that will "treat" your sailor to a meal and Sarge's phone number--he is an excellent resource!

• copy and paste info from helpful posts (that you don't want to forget) into word docs and put them in your folder or binder

Happy planning!

@ hendersonc  So happy your SR is doing so well...sure you are a proud momma.  Thanks so much for letting me know she went through something similar.  Gives me more reassurance and peace.  Can believe it is almost that time.  Almost two weeks!!  Our SR's are our pride and joy!!

Anna:  BattleStations usually start the week before PIR and continue during PIR week.

@ jbr0001- Thanks for your support...means alot to me.  To be honest she has always been not so tough when she gets sick.  Mom is always there to make her all better ya know....my only one.  Just knowing she refused to go to medical - put me in "awe" of her.  She did say she was going to try and push through.  Wrapping her knee would do wonders.

@diannep  BattleStations is the last week...is that correct? Praying for her to have that adrenaline rush!!!  Can't wait for her next letter...Friday or Saturday are the days.  Are yalls recruits on ship 11 div 134 also?

annamomma:  The final PFA is the important one...all must pass that one in order to do BattleStations.  Hopefully, she will be fine...and full of adrenaline to pass that run!  Yes, go on the No News is Good News theory!  If they have to asmo (setback) her, you will get a call.  So sounds like she is still on track!

@annamomma-Thats what they all have said in the past..I am so sorry about your daughter..She sound tough so maybe she'll do ok..I wonder if they would wrap her knee for support?
