    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. Start with OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and read 1 or 2 pages a day and then go back to them as you need the info. 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 Air Traffic Controller (AC), join Air Traffic Controller Moms, Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!, and Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola and check out Airman Family and Friends. The Rating Information Card for AC can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ac.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 once you get the form letter.

    wow scary but know your very proud of your child as I am !! Keep me posted still waiting for the moment for mines to leave me for bootcamp taking advantage of these last moments with her until then.

  • lemonelephant

    Make change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

  • lemonelephant

    There will be a discussion within PIR 08/15/2014 TG 40 for Divisions 247 and 248; they are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together.  ellen usually waits until all of the ships and divisions are known for sure, so the discussions should be up any time now since we know the divisions in that TG even though the RTC has not posted them..

  • lemonelephant

    Don't forget to make change 3.
