Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by Craig on November 4, 2011 at 10:10am: natalie's and all - When your recruit writes, always tell them to write the date, and the day they are on (example 2-4 which mean second week, 4th day) that way you can see everyday what they are doing. It's actually really fun to know what they did or are doing. You will soon get a letter and it usually matches up perfectly.

diannep - I can just imagine a sailor saying that... Talk about getting dogged forever.... Actually, I bet the CO response would be...

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 4, 2011 at 9:21am: @ hollyP - us too. it is so quiet in our house now. we went from from having our son and his friends coming and going all the time to nothing. BIG CHANGE, huh?!

Comment by hollyP(03/025) on November 4, 2011 at 9:00am: empty nester here... plus hubby who works out of town...

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2011 at 8:09am: momshousedivided: Yep, that is why we tell you all to wait for the form letter address before mailing letters. Recruiters' addresses many times are not exactly right, but the letters usually find your SRs anyway.

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2011 at 8:08am: nataliesmom: If she just arrived on 10/26, she may just be starting week 1. Maybe not yet. Depends on the length of processing days. Did she give you a week/day number? That is the best way to keep up with it. Jot it down if she mentions a date and week/date number. Remember, weekends do not count in training day numbers, and days go 1-5. Holidays do not count either. They will have a number of holidays in this training period so their day number will constantly be shifting back. My son was asmoed for a week when there (he arrived 3 days before Thanksgiving 2 yrs ago), so he was there for 10.5 weeks. But even without the asmo (setback in training), he would have been there 9.5 weeks, longer than the normal bootcamp length and that was because of the holidays.

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2011 at 8:03am: Awwww....Craig....come on. How about saying: Get that blasted missle out of the sky or we're done???? Wouldn't that work????? Maybe? :-)

My Dad said (who never cursed until he got Alzheimers, and then a word slips out sometimes...kind of weird) always said that when he was in the Army Air Corp, they were not cursed at often...during WW 2. Of course, back then, the general population didn't curse as much as goes on now. Aye yah yah....

Comment by ArNavyMom on November 4, 2011 at 8:00am: Good morning all and welcome NEW members. Hey, with your recruit in GL, anyone empty nesters?

Comment by momshousedivided2-Sh 09 Div 023 on November 4, 2011 at 5:49am: Thanks y'all for the info on the mail. Knew I should have waited, but just could not fathom him seeing everyone getting mail and mine did not make it to him. Guess it might be that anyway. Oh well- letters will be getting to him shortly. haha

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 4, 2011 at 2:55am: Craig...amen.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 4, 2011 at 2:55am: It depends on when "P" processing days end. Ask your recruit the next time they write to put the actual date and the BC week/day.
