WELCOME TO PIR 10/12/2012

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 Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours 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 to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 24, 2012 at 4:49pm: For those of you who have received "the box," what was the return address? Did it show your recruit's address? Please help, I am about to lose my mind as my son's box has been delivered SOMEWHERE but RTC won't tell me where. We got his form letter today, and my son had the wrong house number on it. However, I was told by someone at RTC that the address the box was sent to wasn't even in the same STATE that we are! There is NO WAY he would have sent it anywhere but to us. I am feeling so helpless right now...

Comment by melray(Ship 04 Div 822) on August 24, 2012 at 4:19pm: Anyone from Texas??

Welcome to the group!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 1:43pm: Jonnie'sMom: They should be starting their first training week in this group now. They have processing days before that and they can last a long time for some of the SRs, depending on when they arrived. My son was one of the first arrivals and had them for about 10 days when he was in bootcamp. Processing days are when they have their medical/dental appointments, paperwork done, gear issued, etc.

The lowest numbered divisions in this group (327/328...) probably start training week #1 either yesterday or today. The others will be following right behind them.

Training days are for 6 weeks, then they are sailors! There are more days after they become sailors (which they are after BattleStations) that are "down" time for them between BattleStations and PIR. Divisions 327/328 will go through BattleStations first and therefore will have about a week of down time when done. They still have schedules to keep, PIR practice, etc, but have finished training so they are more relaxed.

Training days are M-F so are counted 1-5. They start their "day 1" on the same week day each week. Weekends/holidays don't count...those are "hold" days. So...after Labor Day, everyone's "day 1" will move back a day. Not a problem...they allow for this and will PIR on time!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 1:35pm: Hmmm, SoupMom: Not sure on that but possible. Don't worry about the security calls. Hoping that they do so you can talk to your SR!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 24, 2012 at 1:12pm: If your SR is staying in GL for A School, he/she will get liberty on Fri, Sat and Sunday. Friday they get about an hour after PIR before they have to go back to their ship to pack and move across the street.

Sometime between approx 2:30 and 4:00 they will be able to leave again. They must be back by 10pm.

Sat and Sun they can leave at approx 6am and must be back no later than 10pm.
