    Since he has sworn in and is on the way to BC, you can change "Waiting to leave for Boot Camp" above to "Enlisted." Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in December  to connect with others with loved ones who left today 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 can add a comment to a current Blog, Discussion, or group that you are a member of by adding a comment or reply. There will be a box or the option to click Reply and a box will open. You can start a new Discussion within a Forum or in a Group by clicking Add+ and you can add a new Blog the same way once you go to the Blog tab. If you start a new discussion or Blog, be sure to give it a title because Ning will use the first 200 characters as a title if you don't. Always check the date of anything that you are responding to and make sure that it is recent. People have searched and found things from several years ago and the info may or may not reflect how things are now.

    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.

    also wait for the formal letter with his correct ship address as they move them around at first as the navy is forming up the different divisions.
