ALUMNI OF PIR 01/30/2015 TG 12 - 12 Divisions (075-084, 805 and 912)

That is very very strange that her division is only receiving mail on Mondays?  Never have heard of that before.   Is it possible that they have mail delivery each day, but her letters are only coming in on Mondays?

I did know that they can only write on Sundays and mail out Mondays, but some of them manage to write during the week under the "red lights' after lights out...it they aren't too exhausted which most are!  :-)  They will don't have those letters collected until Sunday and mailed Monday though.

*They don't have those letters collected until Sunday, mailed on Monday.

Hmmm....that is the hard part.  We hear it all of the time where families are writing everyday, yet SRs are not receiving everyday....RTC has its own mail facility and sometimes with so many letters (there are over 5,000 SRs at a time at RTC)...they can get held up there....they may get several in one day, none for a day or too!

My SR told me not to send anything after the middle of this coming week. So, 20th-21st will be the last I mail.

Hey coachjb12003: check out info in diannep's forum up above on Battlestations. I'm thinking BS for our PIR group won't begin until this Wed-Thurs, 1/21-22, with "I'm a Sailor" calls starting to come after 2 pm on various days for different divisions from then through Wed 1/28. Still hoping to hear by private message if anyone has heard when BS is for div. 078! Thanks!

No, sorry, sarona mom.  It won't be then (BattleStations).  Lately, just since the beginning of the new year, they haven't been starting them until PIR week.  Even with the large PIR groups like this one.  I went back and looked at my BattleStations schedules from early 2014 and they did the same thing then, and after a while, went back to starting them the week before PIR week.  Not sure why....but thinking that all 12 divisions here will go during PIR week.

This group can do them over 3 nights (12 hr overnight drill).....they can do up to 4 divisions a night.  Brother divisions go together....and actually the 800 and 900 division can go the same night.  

Just a reminder that we cannot post actual division BattleStations dates on here.  It is fine to "guess" when they will be, but if you know a specific one courtesy of your SR, please just post that you have a BattleStations date for Div ___ and let others friend request/message you for it.

Hello i have a son who is also in this division do any of you speek spanish?

coachjb:  You are counting BOOTCAMP weeks, not TRAINING weeks.  This PIR group should be in Training Week 5, and some divisions just finished it.  So everyone will eventually be in Training Week 6 sometime during next week.  They do BattleStations during the 7th week.....

coachjb12003 - My son is also in Division 084.  According to the last time we spoke, January 13 was week 4, day 1.  I received a letter this past Thursday and he said next week is both firefighting and gas chamber.  I am not sure how but it seems like they are possibly starting and completing week 5 and part of week 6 this coming week.

Actually the last time we talked, he said January 6 was week 3, day 1.  I took the liberty to determine week 4, day 1 :)

You are correct, lax.  Training week 5 completion for some at the beginning of next week, others by mid-week.  The first to go through BattleStations should be on Training Week 6/Day 5 by Monday of PIR week. 

083/084 will be last to do BattleStations....

Here is the BattleStations discussion from above with more info:

Vickie:  Although they do SOME training on Federal Holidays, they usually are not counted in their training day count. 

Glad you liked the BattleStations video, coachjb!

Anyone who would like the Battle Stations date for division 81 (brother is div 82) can message me.

Renee:  Having a hard time sending message from here now, computer not cooperating!  We are friends already, so can you message me the Battlestations date you have?  Thanks!

Thanks, Renee!  Got it!

Good Morning Everyone!

Dianep, didn't you say that 83/84 will go through BS w/ 81/82?

A navy mom, in a letter that I received from my son he listed what they would be doing day to day thru this month (of course things can/ do change), as he is "...in charge of the white board and know what we are doing day to day now.", he says the second PFA was on the 12th and the final PFA ( the one thy have to pass) is on the 23rd. I hope this is what you were asking.

Coachjb, if they go through together, then they have more than a couple of days until BS.

PFA= physical fitness assessment
