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. Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in August, to connect with others with loved ones leaving the same day and may have PIR together. Check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for..., to help you and your future Sailor to prepare. Since your future Sailor has a contract for HM, check out Basic Medical Technician Corpsman Program Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for HM can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/hm.pdf; it indicates 19 weeks, but "A" School is 14 weeks after classing up. Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR. See
