I agree with fabnoble and Docsangel it has been a blessing having you ll here to talk with or just read about. I feel as though you all have become family to me And I WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT ANY OF YOU ...

Ladies, take a breath, I was the one who created this group and I am the only one who can shut it down. Do any of you think I, of all people could make it even a day without you? You gals are like family no matter where our boys are!!

Carolinagirl I will be here for you if you ever want to talk if the post should shut down which I hope it doesn't we can all communicate through sending messages to each other as long as you have sent friend requests

Evening ladies. 2 things just hit me. 1) My son is going to A school in San Antonio to be a Master At Arms (police). After joining the groups for MA moms, it has hit me that he could very well be sent to the Middle East (Bahrain, etc) His recruiter told him that he would get to choose his station based on his scores in A school, but evidently, this isn't true. Don't know how he and his boys can make it if he is thousands of miles away for a long period of time.
2) What am I going to do without you ladies after PIR? Can we still keep this group and talk about what our boys are doing?
I could not have made it through this without the support of all of you and hate to think that it could end after next week.

Here's what the lady that works at GL said in a post on the PIR 7/1/10 group....you may already have these questions answered, but hate for you to miss this:

Comment by Hoppi aka Angie 1 hour ago OMG...the closer it gets to your PIR the more questions you all ask The weather is saying next weekend will be nice! That your PIR should be in the high 70's, which is cool for what is has been the past few days.


Seating at PIR. It is first come fist seat, they are bleacher seating (HARD on the bottom, take a jacket to sit on) there are signs in front where the divisions will stand. There is a chance by the time you get there the seats on the lower level will be taken and if you want to sit in front of your divsions you will have to sit in the upper level.

VIP Seating. That is for the honor grad's, they sit in the middle of the hall with the guest speakers, Commanding Officer, etc.... They are taken to a private area right before liberty call is called and they get to greet their Sailor in their. IMO it is worth it, when else will an E2 and their family rub elbow's with the CO of a command?

Taking items to PIR. Your Sailors will not be able to take anything back to the bootcamp base with them. IF they move over to the "A" School base, they normally are allowed to take some items back to the "A" School base...ie..cell phone, underwear, pj's, small amount of personnel items. They will not be allowed civilian clothes for a few weeks or longer they have to earn that privilage (yes it is a privilage)/

They still do Grad-n-go's. Your Sailor will know if s/he is or isn't a GNG.

Dropped or pushed into another division while in bootcamp: Many reasons, failed BS, failed run, failed swim, failed a test, attitude, fighting, medical reasons. The person did something so they wouldn't PIR. Not everyone is cut out to be in the military at every step before they get to the fleet people don't make it all the way through. People don't make it though bootcamp, people don't make it though "A" School, people don't make it in the Fleet. It is a fact of life, just 'cause someone wants to be in the Military doesn't mean they can. My little bro would do anything to be in the Military but he doesn't qualify due to medical reasons.

Moving over to GL "A" School: Some will move over the day of PIR, some will move over the following Tue, or Wend. That is the schedule for us to accept "drops" (that is a term we use meaning RTC is dropping them off on our base :~}) If they move over the day of PIR it will take about 5 hours before they will be allowed liberty. Once on liberty they will know their schedule of when they are required to be back to base. FYI, you WANT them to be GNG to GL "A" Schools :~}

I am a nervous wreck. Reading the 7/1/10 PIR group this morning and the ladies on that site were reminded that not everyone makes it thru this final week/stage. Guess we are not in the clear until that call comes after BS. Ugh, stomach ache.

Thank you MomSR for the information! How's everyone feeling? Me....I'm a bit of a nervous wreck :)

Hay some fun info I found!! This would be cool to see..

If you go to PIR, you will see them marching (not the divisions that are graduating)......and then afterward, on the days that you go to pick up your Sailor for liberty, make sure that you stand waiting for them NOT by the Nex, but go around on the other side of the Nex in the BIG parking lot where they direct you to park on the day of PIR. This is where people group and wait because the divisions that have liberty, they will march down the sidewalk and this way you can see YOUR Sailor's division marching.
