My son also let Monday and his wife received his letter yesterday with PIR of 7/6. Dates seem to be random for sure but you should hear shortly. Letter came much sooner than expected! We are receiving his box but it has not arrived yet. The letter more important to me. He would like both his brothers to attend PIR but since SR's only get 4 tickets they recommend trying to add name to another recruits list who does not need all of his tickets. Any idea of when we will know if we have a secured tix? We are coming a long way and would be disappointed to get there and not have an extra ticket! So proud of ALL these boys and pray for wah and every one of them daily. I find myself thinking ok, it's 5pm and time for dinner. Or now it's sleep time....just ry to go thru each day with them and channel my positive energy his way! I have even tried to get back into running everyday to support him in hopes that when he is home for a break someday I can keep up with him! It's been a crazy week for work and other events, but got out there 4 days this week! What's the term they use...HOOYAH?!

Hello ladies, Welcome. I am a veteran whose son graduated 10/18/10 with a SEAL contract. The 800 divisions are slightly different than the other divisions, so hopefully I can help with any questions or concerns you may have. This is great place to get to know each other, share stories, make friends, and offer and get support. It may not seem like it now, but PIR will be here before you know it and you will be hugging your new sailors.

Hi, My name is Susan and my son left May 14th. He too has a SEAL contract. I have not heard anything but received a short note from him and the box with his personal items. How do we know if they pass the PST? I understand they were to take it after all of their shots and would feel like they had the flu. Any info you may have would be so much appreciated!! Thank you. He is Ship 04 Div 815.
