I have a question for the veteran members.  I just logged into my SR's bank account (WellsFargo) for the 1st time since he left for bootcamp on 9/24. He's only 18, has no bills, but I wanted to see if he was spending any $$ and if I needed to deposit some into his account (he hasn't spent a dime). I totally forgot that he is getting paid, there are two deposits in there from the Navy, the 1st on 10/15 for $617.87 and another on 10/31 for $284.71.  See the is no pay stub to refer to, I am lost at to what he gets paid and if there are deductions.  Can someone possibly share some info with me?  Thank you :)

Since the Sailors get their traveling orders after Battlestations and before PIR, usually they will share the info with their families during the "I'm a Sailor" call~~

If they somehow don't make this call for whatever reason, then you will get that information after PIR when you actually see your Sailor~~

Most of the sailors will be flying out the day after PIR, bussed on PIR night to the airports (late).  Occasionally they leave on Sundays, but most do on Saturdays.  They won't have their actual orders until right before PIR.

When do we find out when our SR will be flying out?

Yes we do get extra (bonus) days because he is staying there, so thankful for that!!!

Ahhh, proudmom.  So they just moved him to a division in the same PIR group that is further back in training from his original division (they are a few days apart).  That's good that his date didn't change!  If he stays in GL for A School, you DO get "bonus days" since those sailors get the remainder of PIR day after they move to A School base shortly after PIR, then they get daytime Sat. and Sun. Liberty!  Those flying out most likely will be bussed that Fri night to wait for Sat. flights.  Families can visit with them at the airports though.  GL A School students must return to base each night by a certain time, but can be picked up early the next morning.

Thank you CatMom509! He is staying at Great Lakes A school for GM. We plan on staying over a few days. How did I earn bonus days?

proudmom14,

Glad your SR is back in training and you have just earned bonus days with him!!  Not sure if he is flying out (liberty from PIR through Thanksgiving, flying out Friday, no overnight) or staying at Great Lakes for A school (liberty from PIR afternoon til Sunday, but no overnights).

Good Morning everyone, just received a call from my SR who was set back a week that he will still graduate on 11/21 but he has been moved to Ship 4 Div 017. Hoping he fits in well with your SRs.
