Welcome to PIR 09/28/2012!

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 Recruits/Sailors 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 ellen0502 on August 16, 2012 at 12:38am: As far as how divisions fill up yes it is random, sort of.

My son left for BC on a Tuesday arriving in GL on Wednesday late. He was given an expected PIR date from his recruiter when he left.

Arriving in GL the last division for the previous week PIR was not full, so in to that division he and a few other males (yes that is important) went, giving him a week earlier PIR date than expected. He was in BC for a total of 8 weeks two days by PIR. Processing week first then p hold for eight days (yes kind of backwards).

His division was an integrated division (both male and female) the "male" portion was full, but it was lacking the numbers for the female portion.He and the others were processed and then put on p hold while waiting for the females to arrive.

The next division was started the same night as my sons, but they had a different PIR, and actually filled up as a non integrated division before my sons filled as an integrated division. So my sons division was being filled at the same time the next two divisions with a different PIR date were filling up. All three just about filled at the same time.

Here comes the fun part, my sons division and his brother division started training about the same time the next two divisions for the following PIR date started. So my sons division and brother division ended up being "push" divisions. They had BS at week 6 instead of week 7.

It can be "random", but there is method to their madness.

To add a story to a story, several in that division are still buddies in A School. One of the females they were on p hold waiting for, is in their buddy group. She takes a lot of crap from them if they are waiting on her for any reasons. It's all in good fun though.

Comment by Dad of Sailor on August 15, 2012 at 11:13pm: We got a letter today also!!! He sounded so good and told us to quit worrying about him because he is fine. Said he isn't having a "ton of fun" but he isn't miserable either. Said that so far it has been a lot of drill, yelling, medical, yelling, folding clothes, yelling, cleaning the bathroom (head), yelling.

Feeling much better now that I know he's adjusting well.

Hope you all get your letters soon.
