  • Recruit Man - Ronny

    Welcome to NavyforMoms.com.  My name is Ronny and my son has been in the Navy since February of 2012.  He is currently stationed in San Diego with a Helicopter Squadron.  He is an Aviation Structural Mechanic.  I hope you find all the info you are looking for here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.  My son is 3rd Generation Navy, so I do know a little about the Navy..:)
    If you have a new Sailor who is in Boot Camp, or leaving soon, visit CallsforRecruits.org and I will send you FREE Pre-Paid Phone cards for your SR to use while they are in boot camp.  I started that program when my son left for Boot Camp :)
    Welcome Aboard and I wish your Sailor Fair Winds and Following Seas.

    Wondering: are PIRs always scheduled on a Friday? My daughter doesn't leave for Great Lakes until 7/17 & PIR won't be until September but I need to give my work notice. Can anybody suggest an estimate of how many days I should request off. And is it safe to say that my daughters PIR date would be scheduled the week of 9/16? It's so hard to get time off and not having dates is not helping...

    d2b2707, most PIR's are on Friday. The exception is when a federal holiday falls at the end of the week and causes it to be moved up. That happened for the 07/03/2013 PIR and PIR Thanksgiving week is always on Wednesday. Count 9 Fridays from the date of arrival to get the most likely PIR date, 09/13/2013, but then know that it could be the week before (more likely for one arriving on a Monday or Tuesday than for one arriving in the middle to the end of the week as yours will) or the week after if storms cause extra recruits to be shipped to the RTC that week. You will only know the PIR date for certain when you receive the form letter. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) for more on that. Since she will fly out to Pensacola for "A" School, you will want to arrive the Thursday before PIR and plan to leve late Saturday or on Sunday, but again you have to wait until you get the form letter to know when that will be.
