I dont know if the holidays will make it easier because its a busier time, or harder because they will be gone. Jeff's recruiter told be he would be going to A school right after graduation, i'll just have to wat and see. Enjoy the next few days, next week will be difficult but hopefully this site will help. Just glad to meet up with someone else who has a child leaving the same week.

My son is going into CRT, I dont know that much about it. Jeff also traveled a bit this summer. I know I'm driving him crazy, I hug him all the time. We have 2 more days. My dad is taking him up to his recruiters on wed. He is taking his cell phone so should have some contact Thurs. Its going to be a long week-end. Do you have any other kids?

My son left yesterday from the local recruiting office to the MEPS office a few hours away from here...then suppose to fly out today for Chicago. His orders state he reports on 10/25/11. Just wondering if my guestimate is close to when PIR will be - 12/23.
Count down begins...

Thank you Tracy. I posted in another forum too. It is apparent that I am not patient enough to wait for that form letter! lol

My son flew out one year ago today. Watched him take his oath. What a wonderful ride you all are starting on with your new recruits! Just a note about PIR. The group that arrived in GL this same week last year was split into two different PIR's. One on the 17th the other on the 22nd. We were told so late the airfare/tickets were way too expensive for us. So if you plan on going to PIR get refundable tickets AND know that it is pricey to fly during that time of year.
