PIR 5/6/2011 (Divisions 157-166, 809, 925)
Pensacola
Just got word that our SR will be heading to Pensacola around 0200 Saturday May 7. Anyone else going that way? He said we can see him off at the airport, at least. Then I guess the drive home to Ohio after that. I'm a bit disappointed that he won't get to spend more time with his fiance but she's being very understanding.

Recruit Training Command has changed the departure procedures for Sailors being sent to A School. For recruits going to A School in Great Lakes; they will check in immediately following graduation where they will follow the schools policy on liberty. Sailors not staying at Great Lakes will fly out on Saturday depending on flight availability. For those few that do not fly out on Saturday, they will fly out on Sunday. Remember they fly based on when flights are available and that can mean at any time on Sat. or Sun and some even leave on Monday.
Here is some good info to ask your recruit, even if they fill this out at PIR:
For those flying out
This was put together by gigi65 (thanks!). These are the items you will want to mail to your recruit NOW so they can hand you the answers on PIR day. They will not know the exact answers until 1-3 days prior to graduation!
