My son has passed all of his testing so far. He said there is a lot of fighting between the guys and girls. He said other than no sleep (it's starting to affect his mood he says), it's been pretty easy.
Anyone know if we will have name tags with ship/divisions at sarge's?

Omg Monica!
My SR wrote his g/f & told her they flagged test 2 & earned boot camp heaven. However, they barely flagged it, and barely passed (as a division) the education phase. PO was upset about it, so they lost the priviledge. Haven't had a call in 3 1/2 weeks! I hope someone posts on here as soon as they get the I'm a sailor call, so we know to look for ours!

What are everyones plans for PIR liberty? I have a few ideas Navy Pier is a maybe we have something similar to it in San Diego so he might be over all that. I was concidering driving into Chicago and parking at a distance and then cabbing it. Not sure.. Obviously a lot will depend on when my son has to be back to base. Does anyone know about how long it take to get from Chicago back to base WITH traffic?

If you plan on going to Chicago I recommend you take the train. Train fare is $3 one way or you can buy an unlimited weekend pass for $7 (your best deal). Even if you don't think you will go into the city again, it can save you lots of money if you end up going back. Parking is terrible and expensive and traffic is worse. :)

i was at PIR, but arrived around 8 pm. I only saw one from my son's division . My son's division started with 80 recruits & finished with 43! is that unusual to lose so many? good news is everyone left made it through battle stations. We are so excited for tomorrow!
