I just got my form letter Friday. My son is on Ship 14 Div 13. He wrote down a PIR date of Friday, November 23. I saw on the upcoming graduations that they have Wednesday, November 21 for PIR, is that correct?

Yay! I found the right group! Finally! My daughter had also listed Friday the 24 as the PIR date and I was so confused! Looks like I am on the right track now. So should we be making travel arrangments already? Or do we wait a little while?

Sarah, my flight is all ready booked. Leaving out of Houston, TX. I chose to book with Southwest, they don't charge to change dates, only if there is a fare difference on dates of travel. I originally booked for PIR 11-16-12, a little premature, so when I got form letter and saw PIR 11-21-12 I promtly changed dates for flights, and it was $260 difference (total for 4 people) because we then were traveling during Thanksgiving Holiday time. I booked our reservation at Navy Lodge, $66 night, 2 queen beds with a kitchen...approximately 1 mile from RTC. Can't beat that. Car rentals are up for that week as well, I got a mid-sized car reserved with Dollar Rental from Midway Airport for $51.96 a day and unlimited milage. Hope this helps you.

Hi mglivelife, my son is also in Ship 014 Div 013. Have not had a call yet, but hopefully soon. In his last letter that I got Thursday (Oct. 18) he said things were starting to go better for his Division. Said he was actually starting to have some fun. I was relieved to hear that, of course. We can't go to the meet and greet, our flight will get in too late for that to be possible, but we are looking forward to seeing PIR!!!
