"Welcome to PIR 07/06/2012"

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 23, 2012 at 8:18am: My thoughts and prayers are with you leftwayleft. Hopefully you will get a call very soon.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 23, 2012 at 1:13am: Oh...I feel for you leftwayleft...so sorry...its hard enough without the outside problems too.

Comment by Teachermom(sh3div208)PIR 07/06 on June 23, 2012 at 12:23am: Britt, I sent you a friend request. Could you message me about battle stations? My son is in brother division 208...I believe they will go together. Thanks!

Comment by MSmom on June 23, 2012 at 12:22am: Left way. I know this is frustrating because I have been in your shoes. My son failed his last academic test the week before battle stations. However I did not receive a call from him until the Tuesday night before his original pir. When he called he was already with his new division. He then had to do everything again with his new division even if he had already done it. He went through the gas chamber and captains cup twice. But like I said before he will be given the opportunity to call. Unfortunately it is on the navys time and not moms time. During this time was when I cried the most because I was thinking about what could be wrong. Yet I kept thinking that if it was really serious the navy would have already called. Hang in there. Soon this will be a memory. Another bump in the road of life.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 22, 2012 at 9:53pm: If he is reassigned to 211 he is on their Training Schedule and a part of that Division. So he will take the PFA with them and everything else he needs to do ...with them. He cannot take it with them and then move back to his old Division.

The difference here is that your son has been moved to another division...so he is a part of it now. He did not fail his PFA or swim on the schedule with his old division...but must have been ill enough that he missed enough training days to where he was too far behind (but now too far as it was only a week delay) to be able to catch up and finish on time with them. I am sure that rather than push him too...it is better for him to have a fighting chance ...so to speak.(This is a guess on my part as to the actual circumastances based on what you said about him having pnuemonia and not taking his PFA yet...he will certainly have all of the details!)

I think you might be thinking about those that fail their swim or PFA ...go into FIT...have a couple of more opportunities to pass it before their PIR date...go through BS21 with whatever available Division there is before PIR and then attend their original PIR. That's not your sons case right now...since PAO has stated that he is in a new division.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 22, 2012 at 9:31pm: No...sorry for any confusion. If the PFA is the only test he has left...he will take it with 211, since he has been reassigned to that Division and given a new PIR date...and do BS21 with them.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 22, 2012 at 9:28pm: I know this is very stressful for you (my son had to pass his PFA...had not done so with the first two...so I was on pins and neeedles!), and that you would especially love to hear his voice right now...as that would be the most comforting thing. I am hoping it will happen soon for both of you! :-)

I am sure that some of the delay in having him call is that he has to be settled into his new division etc...believe it or not I don't think it is quick process...not that they don't try to be efficient...but i am thinking about all of his equipment, paperwork etc.

Since it is Friday...and the weekend is coming, I hope you get to hear from him soon.

Super big hugs to you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 22, 2012 at 9:12pm: leftwayleft - This is your sons new Division that he has been assigned to since that is what PAO told you...along with the corresponding PIR date of 07/06.

So he is "on track" with this division wherever it is at in it's training...so there are probably a few more tests for him to finish up as well as training days. My "guestimate" is that 211 would be at the tail end of Training Week 5 or beginning of Training Week 6.

So he is at the same "place" that all of the other recruits are in 211...still has to finish Training, pass all tests in order to do Battlestations.

What you read about recruits being set back, finishing and then going on to "A" school is for those recruits that do not pass their tests before their PIR date...thus not being able to do Battlestations before their PIR date...and PIR.

Your son is not in this position...he is on track with 211.
