    Join the group, Leavin' for bootcamp in October, to connect with others with loved ones who left the same day and may have PIR together.

    You may want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and PIR Reference Information. Once you know your SR’s PIR date and/or division number, watch in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and/or at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that once it has been created. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.

    You are very welcome.

    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 has a contract for Hospital Corpsman (HM), sometime between now and the end of BC, join HM (Hospital Corpsman) A School in San Antonio and 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 PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

    The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 904 is Sticks/Flags. PIR will be 12/06/2013. Keep checking PIR 12/06/2013 TG 04 and join when it is up.

    Good Morning. :0)
    I'm doing better but like you, I have random moments. (I don't like those moments) It's a little better now that I can write. I don't know if he'll write back ... Lol
    Did you go to the Facebook page US Navy Recruit Command? When our kids help with the other PIRs in November maybe there'll be a picture posted. Did you read that?

    My daughter is in sip 02 div 904 too!! I'm reading that some of you have gotten phone calls tonight!?!? I'm hoping I will too! This site is still hard for me to navigate- I can't seem to figure out how to comment on an ongoing discussion at the top of my own page- any help would be appreciated!

    Yes I recd the form letter with a handwritten note on the back from her saying that I had the opportunity to see her for one day on Thanksgiving- ugh broke my heart that I had to tell her I could not afford to fly out there on thanksgiving then again three weeks later for graduation :( I haven't rec a call or a letter from her yet- I'm trying to be patient but now I'm reading that others from the same division are receiving calls- hoping to get one too!
