My son graduated in September, I remember the most exciting time was during the pass in review (PIR) ceremony, when the "garage door" opens up.  The crowd goes WILD!  

If you have any questions, I'd love to help.  I'm a Navy veteran myself. 

Please like my group on facebook LINK, I'm just starting out and would love the support.

I also support “calls for recruits” from products sold on ETSY if you order soon I ship next day! 

If you are traveling, wishing you a safe journey.  

If you can't travel; be sure to watch the video link, it's the next best thing.

Does your son hyphenate his name for the Navy? 

When I spoke to my husband, he said their bunk mates are in the same division, so since he is in 20 and your son is in 19...but as you said we can still be friends :)

Thank you so much for the info!

September 16 will be here soon. 

Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month before Your Future Sailor Leaves for RTC.   

Arrival and What Happens at RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what will soon be happening and what to expect. There have been some big changes since your first Sailor was at RTC.

Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. 

Be sure to join your PIR group once you get The Form Letter, which now arrives 9 to 14 business days after the recruit's arrival at RTC in most cases. Let me know when you know what division your recruit is in. I will have more info for you. 

If you would like information on your future Sailor's rating (job/occupational specialty) or field, then let me know the rating or field. There are groups for most specialties and/or "A" Schools and knowing that will help you to better plan for PIR weekend.  

Take care and blessings to you and yours.
