You guys are fast! thanks!
I will look at the contract to be sure what I am talking about!
*Pensacola
Hmmmm, don't know that one, Bookster. Next time you write or receive a call, ask your SR. Maybe CatMom knows? Her daughter was at Pencsacola.
diannep: forgive my ignorance, I THINK something with letters CMT?
Bookster: What job will your sailor be training for? I can find a link to that particular one with more specific info for you.
I agree, deirdre86: He has been moved from being in a division where he would have been among the first to become sailors to a division where he will be one of the last to become a sailor, probably for more training time, etc. Could have been disciplinary as well, but many times with discipline, they are removed from the PIR group and held back. But regardless, he is still in this PIR group with the same grad date---just a few days behind in training re: his first division....so all is good! Write some extra letters really encouraging him as I am sure it was not easy for him to move out of his division and to another. He is the "new guy" there....so prayers that he will adjust fine---I'm sure he will. My son was delayed a week when he was there...he said there were about 5 of them who were delayed, then put in this new PIR group/division. He said it took a while for the others to accept them since they weren't "original" with the group, but they were fine soon.
I got a letter!!! I am so excited! He sounds so much better and upbeat. Hope everybody gets a letter today! Sure makes it easier :)
deirdre86,
Seems fine to me as she is in the same PIR group, so all is good~~
Good Day!

the plans of His heart to all generations."
