Sandy

Good Morning Sandy, I saw you had posted a chat in the main room chat, that is also an area that gets very little attention here on the N4M site as not everyone notices is or sees it. I see you joined the BC Moms group. Please click on that group to the left and go to the group page. Once there, scroll down past all of the information, past the discussions, and then you will come to a Comment Wall area like this one. That is where we carry on our daily chatter, post questions, our concerns and more of the members are likely to see your messages and reply to them. 

As for a phone call - Not all phone calls are guaranteed, many things can prevent them but generally you will receive a call mid way through BC and then one after they have completed Battle Stations. 

As for letters - you should receive a Form Letter with information regarding PIR (they are opening it back up and we have that information being posted in our comment area on BC Mom). This form letter will arrive anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks after they left for BC depending on if they had to quarantine or not. Once you have the letter with his mailing address then you may send letters via USPS or Sandboxx. Anything mailed prior is likely to just be set aside and not delivered to them. They are allowed to write on Sunday afternoon and then mailed on Mon. They should receive their mail M-Sat once they have trained one of the recruits from their division to be the Mail Petty Officer. 

Sandy, I am not a member of the PIR Reference Information group - that one is not as active as the BC Mom Group - I will try to post some information there. The fact that PIR is opening back up is new to many of the members who are still around and had sailors graduate that were not able to go to PIR. My son graduated PIR 4 years ago. When my son graduated PIR, he flew out on the first flight practically at O'Hare airport. We really don't know what a PIR weekend is going to look like for those sailors flying out to their A schools until we have information back from parents like you. If you are on FB - you might want to post a question there - (20+) Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes | Facebook

And like I said, keep checking the BC Mom group page as that is the most active group with regards to BC.
