Welcome!! Please read my blog to give you an idea of what the first few weeks may look like.. Welcome to the Navy... Everything will be ok! The First part is some things to do before your SR leaves IF you Can, It’s NOT ESSENTIAL! Up and to the Left is a link to all the Navy Lingo! It is titled Navy Speak and you can find it here. We are here to get you through the “Great Silence” of the next 4 weeks (ish) and the 10 weeks of BC (ish). You will come to learn that No News Is GOOD News and everything is Needs of the Navy. You life will be Hurry Up and Wait and it’s ok to make plans but they are subject to change until after they have happened so it’s best to embrace the Motto: Semper Gumby!! (Always Flexible!!)

1StepForward, I saw you were online and thought I would just say hi!! I am sorry you are having such issues with the site. I only use my computer for accessing and I don't generally have many issues, but you are not the first.
If your SR is in a 900 division, he might have been chosen to be a "body snatcher" especially if he is tall and sturdy. I think B'sNukeMom's son was one. As I recall, they walk between the recruit lines during PIR, to make sure no one collapses from going faint if they locked their knees for too long, while standing at attention.
He could also be a flag bearer.
Have a great day!
