Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in August.  You will meet others with loved ones leaving 08/26/2014 or that week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month before Your Future Sailor Leaves for.... I also suggest you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and begin checking out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions there.

Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer him to some good links on there.

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 recruit'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.

Jennifer, you can post in any group you join; you can post in one of the forums--either start a new discussion or reply to something already posted (don't go back more than a week or so, especially not into things that are years old); you can post a Blog (include a title) or comment to a Blog that is already posted. When someone comments here, you can click on "Comment Back" or "View Thread" below the comment and then leave a comment for the person on their Comment Wall.

Jennifer, several of us who have kids that shipped this week have found each other on the DEP Leaving for BC in August group http://navyformoms.com/group/leavinforbootcampinaugust?xg_source=ac... & also on the Bootcamp forum page http://navyformoms.com/forum/topics/arrived-at-boot-camp-8-25-2014-...

We're here to get support & give support! I know exactly how you feel. Following the day-by-day lemonelephant referenced is so helpful!

Jennifer our daughter is Ship 02 Div 950  no phone call yet.. I have joined a couple of FB groups and I am getting myself confused where I have posted comments.  BE STRONG

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 950 is Triple Threat.
