Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in March. You will meet others with loved ones leaving 03/08/2016 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.

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. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

The Rating Information Card for STG can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/stg.pdf and https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/stgaef.pdf (STG AEF). (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)
Those who have signed a 6 year contract for AEF will have Apprentice Technical Training (ATT) at GL after PIR for about 6 weeks and then will go to San Diego, CA to the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center for “A” School. Those who have signed for less than 6 years will go straight to San Diego the day after PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend to help you plan your weekend.
