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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :).

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?!?!?
