DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I've been reading other sites for info about life after PIR but still don't know...
They can come home but will lose leave time (or be "in the hole") , what does that mean?
Can they leave any time after PIR? Does that mean I should buy him a ticket home? Will I get to talk to him about this???
Agh! This is so confusing! -

got a call today and my daughter said they can have thanksgiving with family... I unfortunately don't think I can foot the airfare for Thankgiving AND PIR. :(
It will all work out for the best.... -

Dot mom, me either. From what I understand there are area churches and families that adopt the SR's for Thanksgiving. I have also heard that Thanksgiving dinner at RTC is very good! Susan

Has anyone else got mail yet?
I just got three letters in the mail today. ^_^ -

No I haven't gotten any yet. Since yesterday was Veteran's Day the mail didn't run. I am hoping for today! How is he doing? Any information about the division? Susan

He's tired and a bit homesick but he's says he's getting used to it. And he's studying harder than he ever did at the university. Sounds like they were about to get their first inspection this week and they all didn't want to get Intensive Training again. But they were making a flag for their division which sounded like fun. :)
Oh! And they do get upwards of ten days leave for Christmas. So the recruits do know. :) Which made me happy that they gave them something else to look forward too. -

My daughter is very homesick as well...her first two letters were quite depressing so I was glad to receive a call today and she sounds much better and is settling in. She told me about the leave for Christmas. Hope she is able to fly home with me and then to A school.

Bris Mom, Look in the main group under Holiday Leave for all of the information. They can go home with you for Christmas but have to take leave so they will go in the hole. My son doesn't care, he just wants to come home for Christmas! You will then be responsible for getting her to A school. However, she will be partially or fully reimbursed for her plane ticket to A school. She will have to submit forms for it. You will need to provide her with a written itinerary on how she will get from GL to home and then onto A school. She will have to turn it in. This was just a brief summary, all of the info is in the group I mentioned above. Susan
