Comment by Christy_Ship07Div242 on July 28, 2012 at 9:13am: Is there such a thing as a PIR/boot camp graduation card?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 28, 2012 at 6:45am: Good Morning everyone, I hope you all go out and have a fun Saturday. We are having a yard sale YAY I love yard sales.....wait I love going to them, not having them ugggg!!! lol

Comment by Craig on July 27, 2012 at 11:27pm: For those that don't know what a CAC card reader is, and why it is so important to a sailor, then read "What are some great graduation gifts" above in the discussion area.

Comment by ellen0502 on July 27, 2012 at 7:58pm: They can probably have their own irons, but remember anything they have has to be stored in a small closet space, and carried by them when they change ships or locations.

My son is at GL and sends everything that has to be creased etc to the cleaners to be done. There is an iron available in the laundry room (if I understood him correctly) to do what they need to do, like ironing hanger creases from pants before inspections etc.

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on July 27, 2012 at 5:33pm: Can someone fill me in on what CAC card reader is?

Comment by T's Mom (Ship 07 DIV 241) on July 27, 2012 at 4:53pm: I got a letter yesterday it was so good to see everything is going well he said he could see the light at the end of the tunnel...Ladies 2 wks and we will be there I cant wait :)...Do any of you have SR going to A school in Texas?

Comment by diannep on July 27, 2012 at 3:23pm: Interesting question, Jmaries. Hmmmm....I feel sure they can have their own irons, but wondering if there is a community area where they have irons/ironing boards? I doubt my son did much ironing...probably paid someone to do his :-) when in A School.

Yes, you can ask on this page where an SR is going to A School and for what job.

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on July 27, 2012 at 2:21pm: ok, here's a silly but maybe practical question....Are the sailors-after they are at their A-school, allowed to their own personal irons? Or are they provided with them when they move into their next [barricks] are they still called barricks at school? Im still learning. :-P

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on July 27, 2012 at 1:30pm: Hi Stephanie, yep he sure is. Are we allowed to ask on here what our SRs are going to school for?
