This is the final test for your recruits.  When they pass this, they are sailors and trade in their recruit cap for their sailor cap in a capping ceremony afterwards. The ship they do this on was designed by Disney, so it is very realistic. During…Continue

Comment by Vinsmom1991 ship09div067 on July 6, 2013 at 2:54am

So much time has passed since PIR in 2011. My Sailor is stationed on Oahu came home in DEc. of 2012 and got married and they are expecting their first baby in January 2014. My how time flies. 

Comment by NF Mom on April 3, 2013 at 1:17am

Wow, when I first read that I thought 96 days :)

Then I realized 96 hours can mean a lot when you are coming from Afghanistan.

Thank him for his service, in all the ways he is giving.

Comment by Momofahousefull on March 26, 2013 at 9:30am

NF Mom: Congrats!

Our son was just home for a 96 after returning from Afghanistan. It was great just to sit back and watch him with his brothers and sister and baby nephew. I'm looking forward to Easter when all of them will be home for a couple of days. You are so right, NF Mom; God is Good All the Time!

Comment by NF Mom on March 25, 2013 at 3:26pm

Our son made it home for his 30 day leave before his first permanent duty assignment.

It is nice to see his face relaxed and without the stress.

Comment by NF Mom on March 8, 2013 at 1:43pm

It is a boy.

The Henry M Jackson.

Is anyone else FROM PIR 2-11-11 still waiting for their son or daughter to receive their first duty assignment or is our son the last ?

Two years, three months as of yesterday since he left for Boot Camp.

But it was worth the wait. He wanted to be based in Washington state ( home ) and he got it.  He wanted to be on a submarine and he got it.  He wanted to be on a Boomer, and he got it.

God is Good. All the Time.

Comment by William in Nashua on February 20, 2013 at 1:55pm

NF Mom congratulations to your son that is great news.     If he is assigned to a submarine, they also are  entitled to be back paid their Submarine Duty Assignment Pay dating from the day they began submarine training, which is first day he started nuclear field A school.  That is 2 years of  submarine pay in his next paycheck, plus the enlistment bonus finally earned and paid.  Lol.

Comment by Momofahousefull on February 20, 2013 at 11:01am

NF Mom: Congrats to your son!

Comment by NF Mom on February 20, 2013 at 5:56am

Two Years, Two Months and 10 Days after leaving for Boot Camp my son completed his training as an ET-N, Nuclear Reactor Operator.

On Sunday he passed his Oral Boards and was placed on the watch list for the MTS until he gets PCS orders to a Sub or Carrier.

Less than 4 years left on a 6 Year active duty commitment.  Time certainly does fly when we are having fun :).

Comment by Momofahousefull on February 11, 2013 at 8:47pm

Hi all! Happy PIR Anniversary! My son is with the SeaBees out of Gulfport, MS. Glad it's only about 4 hours away. His first deployment was to Guam which he really enjoyed. He is now in his second deployment to Afghanistan and we are eager for him to return. All is well with him.

Glad to hear from y'all and hope to stay in touch. Pench, where are you?!?!?
