I'm still in research mode for the car. I'll let you know, especially for future reference for other groups.
Thinking of you all as you travel! I'm thankful for you and for this site. This whole experience has been richer because of you and it would have been so much harder without you. Safe travels to you and have a wonderful time!!

Congratulations to all the new Sailors and their parents. For those of you still waiting for a call, I know you have had a larger burden to bear and I hope that ends soon. I will add that the best advice I read before my Sailor called was to expect the unexpected. My Sailor was so tired he just stuck to business for awhile. In fact it had no traditional "I'm a sailor" moment. Just "I'm done. I got a new hat that say's Navy"...then some random questions about world events: Did the supreme court really legalize same sex marriages for all states...(Don't get political on me but this was good news to him). Did the Rock die...who...the movie guy that was a wrestler? Um, no. Can you bring me some white boxer briefs, my computer and my phone..make sure it's charged? I think I just want to have an awesome dinner and chill at the hotel.
It was so different from any of the other 3 calls we have received. He seemed very tired and said he would just like time to talk to us and use his cell phone. I think as a parent who did not to endure the actual experience of boot camp I expected a totally different excitement level. Just a heads up....and they have 15 min. and the phone will cut off at 15 minutes.

Christine, I'm concerned that the car might be a problem. An option might be to go to one of the hotels and catch the shuttle or talk to Sarge at the meet and greet. I hear Sarge is very helpful.

ChristineC. Good question, and a letter might help. Does your husband have an insurance policy and ID for his car? He should also carry that.
It really is up to the guards at the gate to let the car on to base, or not.

Christine: Good question....I would contact RTC Public Affairs (email address should be in your form letter) about that. I feel sure you will need to show your friend's registration, but not sure about insurance....if your coverage would cover in that car so you would just show your proof of insurance. I would email RTC and ask.

Thank you so much diannep. You have been a blessing along with CatMom and Lemonelephant!!!

Thank you CassieRose :)

Will it be a problem if my husband drives a borrowed car onto baseon Friday? Just wondering because the car papers and insurance won't have his name on them. Should he get a letter from the car owner or something?

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!! Safe travels to all to an awesome PIR!!
Remember, PIR is just the beginning of the Navy journey. Keep plugged into Navy for Moms where there are groups for A school, C school, ratings (jobs), bases, ships, states, regional, twins and multiples, and the "Christian Navy Moms" that I am a part of!
Also, the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command page on Facebook puts up photos from each PIR. If you see your Sailor in a pic or more, you can download it to your own computer by either clicking on the picture, going down to Options and downloading it OR right click, "Save Picture As" to a file on your computer~~
