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. What is your SR'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.

Since you have an SR at the RTC, you can change "Waiting to leave for Boot Camp" above to "Enlisted." If you know your SR's PIR date, go to http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that. If you don't know the PIR date, join the group Leavin' for bootcamp inOctober, to connect with others with loved ones who left the same day and may have PIR together.
You may want to make changes 3 and 4 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile).
