Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) for information on what to expect and to help you prepare for PIR. What is your SR's rating (job/specialty) going to be? There are groups for most ratings and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

SInce your SR arrived on a Friday, it is possible that PIR will be 10/25/2013 instead of 10/18/2103. You will have to wait on the form letter to know for sure. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

Hope you received your BOX. Understand the empty feeling you have. Decided to count the Friday's instead of the days. Easier on my heart. Staying busy is helping alot also.

I got my first phone call today. My son said they have not gotten mail yet. he sounded tired. he said the food was good and all the guys he has met are nice. i asked him if he has been yelled at yet. he said no. at least not like he was anticipating. My son was asking me to research the post 9/11 bill and the Montgomery bill because they have to contribute $100 per month. He wanted me to find the best option. Have u and ur son looked at the options. My son was also able to call his brother.

Someone commented about changing the list of PIR attendees. The information I read said to let ur sailor know and make the change or call the recruiter.

The Rating Information card for Avionics Technician (AV) can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/av.pdf. You may also want to join Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!! and check out Airman Family and Friends. AV Sailors attend common basic electronics training, after which they are selected for either the Aviation Electrician (AE) rating (Aviation Electronic - AE and https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ae.pdf) or the Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) rating (Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) and https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/at.pdf). Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.
