Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 4:30pm: Since this group starts with Div 317/318....just wanted to let you all know who have SRs in those divisions (brother divisions)...they will start training first in this PIR group.....AND....become sailors first! HOOYAH! They fill the divisions from lowest number to highest number....other than 800 (special ops) /900 (performance) divisions. When my son was up there, he was in one of the first two divisions also...which was wonderful. They were sailors about 5 days before the last of the PIR group became sailors.

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 4:27pm: Think you are in the right place, MyAngel! Welcome!

Comment by MyAngel94 (Ship 14 Div 317) on August 16, 2012 at 2:14pm: Thank you for adding me. Im not sure this is the group I should be in I have not received my letter yet but going by the info I have seen on her Im thinking im in the right spot J My daughter left for bootcamp on Aug6 and her recruiter told me she was ship 14 div 317.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 1:12pm: Carolyn - That's wonderful! Also about her RDC allowing the face wash!

Comment by Carolyn on August 16, 2012 at 12:01pm: Morning all...what a great day..received a call from my daughter this morning because she needed info for her security clearance. She did get to chat for a couple of minutes. She sounded very tired and she said that was probably the worst thing. She asked me to send her some face wash, they are allowed to have it, and I could send it in a small box. It just has to be opened in front of her RDC so I'm off to the store now....I hope you all get 'that call", it's wonderful!

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 8:42am: Good Morning all! FTLW has posted lots of good info below. Be sure to read it!

Welcome to all of the newbies in this group! I am another one of the N4Moms veteran ladies who stays on the PIR groups to help with questions, etc. You are in for a very fun, stressful, emotional journey, but we are here to help! We know what awaits you on "the other side"! It is wonderful!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 16, 2012 at 1:55am: Security Calls -

There is the possibility of you receiving a phone call from your SR (Seaman Recruit) during the first one to two weeks after their arrival for Security Clearance info. I received mine one week after my son arrived at RTC. Had no idea it would come that fast. I'd only really been on the site for a week or two, so I had NOTHING ready! So... if your Recruit has a rating that requires security clearance information...800 Divisions, IT's, CTI's CTT's Nukes, AT's (the list goes on!), anyone that handles confidential info...have a list of references by the phone.

This is a short business call and is monitored. No time for chit chat...but once in a great while the person monitoring the call allows a few extra minutes.

The area code for GL is "847". My security clearance call, the caller ID said "US GOVERNMENT". We have also had "PAY PHONE" reported and then area codes for the surrounding areas...so answer all...and just get rid of those telemarketers!
