After PIR
First off let me thank you for being here I greatly appreciate it. I am a bit confused as to what I can bring to him after PIR? I have read that their division is the last to come in?

The division march into the drill hall in numerical order, they make a big circle through the hall. So first in will be the ones who end up next to the door they enter from.
As far as what you can bring to them after PIR. They can basically can take nothing back with them to RTC after PIR. If staying in GL for A School they can have their phones etc after they move over to the other side for school (Friday afternoon). If they are leaving GL for school you can give them their phone etc at the airport.

Hopefully somebody can help direct me to the info I read somewhere but can't find it now...my son's PIR is Oct 5th, and he will be leaving for Pennsacola at some point, but thinks he may have to hang out for a week at GL before they are ready for him in FLA; I thought I read somewhere that there was a family nearby the base who would hold onto the SR's cell phones, or other stuff they can't take on base right away, but will need soon after (for a small fee). Can anybody give me any info about that? Thanks!

Have you talked to your son today? I spoke with mine and he said he will be staying in GL for
about a week and that he could have his phone. If you do not get an answer I would bring his
phone with you and you will find out if he can keep it with him after PIR. -
