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) or field 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.

You may want to check out Mom's of Daughters 2, Mom’s of Navy Daughters, and Women in the Navy.

Join, or at least check out, Corry Station IT Moms, IT A & C School, INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN - IT, ITOF, IT-ATF, ITS, Sailors at Corry Station holding or in school and Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!.

The Rating Information Card for IT can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/it.pdf and https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/its.pdf (ITS). (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)

Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR, but may fly out on Sunday due to flight availability issues. Plan to leave on Sunday if you are able. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

Since IT is one of the Spook ratings, the information within the Page, OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes To Your Profile), will be important for you.

Comments on this page are for you. Others do not see them unless they happen by. To reply to someone who posts here, click on "Comment Back" or "View Thread" below the comment.

Make at least 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.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP code to one that is not easily associated with your recruit.

I also suggest changes 6 and 7.

You may also want to make change 4 if that lovely tat can easily be associated with you or your recruit given her contracted rating.

Hi amjaei, How are you? Glad to hear that you got to talk to your daughter. I was so happy that I also got to hear from my son and received a letter from him.  It eased my mind to know he was doing good.

Hi it is nice to meet you too. Yes this has been hard on me too. This is the first time my son has ever been away from me. But I am very proud of him. And yes I am planning on going to the meet and greet.
