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

They DO go in order of division for final PFAs and BattleStations.

So will they take their last PFA a day before BattleStations?  

Vickie360,

Remember brother divisions do their training together...it could be the next day or even the day after.  Usually 4 divisions go through Battlestations together~~ 

mlsshp:  Sorry, but we cannot disclose BattleStations dates on this site or FB.  Only by private message (RTC asked us not to).  Can you copy/paste your post and just delete that exact date for your division?  Then delete your original post.  Thanks so much!  

Good Morning!

BattleStations can have 2 divisions (brother divisions), 3 divisions (900 or 800 division, set of brother divisions), or 4 divisions (2 sets of brother divisions or one set and 800/900 divisions) go through.  With a PIR group this large and not starting until PIR week (sometimes they start the week before), they will need to go with 4 per night to get them done.  My guess is that they will do them M-W nights....based on what previous groups have done.

Good Morning!

Got a letter yesterday and here's what she said. Week 6 is final PFA and Battlestations on *(OPSEC). We stay up for 12 hours the day before, then afterwards, we get a huge meal and can talk inthe galley! So since they graduate 6-3 that means final PFA is sometime week 6 *(OPSEC). She is ship 3 div 83 if that helps.

EDIT:*(The RTC considers Battlestations ship movement. Date/Day removed)

Good Morning!

Got a letter today. My SR says that his division (81) has managed to get not one, but two flags. One for scoring high enough with drill and the other one is the independent steamer pennant which allows them to march without their RDC. Although he says he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. 

Missy, it may be too late.  They normally update their lists a week before PIR.  Not sure when you will get the I'm a Sailor call, but you may want to ask your new sailor then if the list can be added to.  It would be worth a try!   Sadly, it doesn't matter that he is retired military....they still have to be on the list.  A couple of years ago or so, that was not the case.  Retired/Active Duty military with ID were allowed in as extras, but not anymore.  Now they must be on the list.

I sure hope it works out for this person to attend!

Congrats to your SR, Renee, and that division for doing so well!

Here is info on what they do in Captains Cup, which this PIR group did today:

A navy mom, he sounded pretty good. Ready to be done and able "to go to the head without 40 other guys" LOL

Lax23, awesome about the Captain's Cup!

Good Morning!

Great to hear, coachjb!

Relieved that the blizzard would already be through when you need to travel, A navy mom!

coachjb:  By the time they start BattleStations which they start at night, they will have been up for about 14 or more hours already, since the early morning.  They won't be able to "hit their racks" until the next day, at about 8 pm.  SO by that time, they are quite tired....but very proud sailors!

Good Morning!

Today is packing day! Doing something more than just planning makes it seem more real somehow.

I continue to obsess about my SR's last PFA today.  We are going to Chicago regardless but I still worry about him.  He was still on LLD Saturday from the corpsman giving the bicillin shot in his sciatic nerve.

Does anyone have an idea when he call if he didn't pass?  Today? Tomorrow? Wednesday?  Any of those days?

*would call*

HisHeartBeat -  Was that his final chance to pass the swim test? What Fay was that thathee called.

As soon as a Recruit is not on schedule to graduate, meaning they have failed to meet all the requirements, they should be given a call home. 

I won't lie, there have been times when some have said they never got that call from their Recruit. It is rare but does happen. I think it happens because RTC is just trying to get them back on track to graduate so it's a time factor.

If a Recruit has a change in status it is their choice as to who they notify.
