Ship 07, Div 259
My son left 6\20 and I called his recruiter and got this address for him. I haven't received anything from my son, but have read on the site that this might be incorrect from the recruiter? I want to send the letters that I've written so he'll be able to get them as soon as possible. Can anyone tell me if this really does change or should I go ahead and send the letters? Anyone else have a son on the same ship? Worst 5 days of my life. Glad this site is here!

Double-check the address against those at http://bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp since recruiters sometimes give a generic address for the RTC and if the street address is incorrect, it could delay mail. Since you have a ship number and a 3-digit division number, it is most likely correct.

My son also left on 6/20, but I still have not heard anything. I am so anxious to hear from him. I hope the address you got works and he gets your letters. I didnt realize how hard this was going to be emotionally, I miss him like crazy

Leaanne 34,
I have a daughter in ship 7 div 257. I just got her address from her recruiter today. Their addresses are four lines with the second line containing their ship and div. If the one you got has this then it's probably correct. -

So glad to find company for Brandon! Tomorrow will be a week since he's been gone and that I've talked to him and it will be 2 more weeks until I might get a call. Ugh - this is so tough. We are from Merritt Island, Florida. We will meet in Illinois in August? Looking forward to that day! Prayers to you and your son!
Thanks Am0m - I guess the "kids" are close to each other - I looked at the map on this website. Prayers to you and your daughter as well!

Hello!
I will be looking for the mom/wife/GF etc. who will be interested in creating the next PIR group.
This will be TG 40-- PIR 08/17/2012. It will start with Division 249 and have a Performing Division of 940.
Folks, anyone with a Recruit in Division 249 and up or 940 who is interested in creating this PIR group...please friend me and I will help you get it started! Easy and fun...I have step-by-step instructions!
BC can be anywhere from 7.5 to 9 weeks. It is also possible for recruits to arrive in the same week…or on the same day…but have different PIR dates. Your recruiter may have your recruit’s ship/division as early as 72 hours after arriving at BC. I will take this ship/div # for the purpose of starting a PIR group BUT please wait for the form letter that your recruit will send home to address your mail and send it. The address your recruiter gets oftentimes is incomplete or has too much information that is not necessary for the address.
Thank You!
