At this point, they are planning to have the PIRs on time. All should keep their plans to go to Great Lakes this week. But stay tuned to the RTC page and the RTC FB page if you can for updated info.

Hello everyone,
My family and I are due to fly out in the Morning for graduation on Friday. I haven't heard from my son yet. I was wondering if anyone from his Division 378 has called today.

Miksmom,
My son is also division 378 and no word yet. Lets hope the practice of "no news is good news" reigns true with this as well. We live west coast and leave tomorrow at o'dark thirty so I'm praying that I know before I lay my head down tonight. If I hear from my son I will make sure to ask if they all passed and post it. -

Thanks Shannon
I have been super excited all day. I think after reading about other parents getting there "I am a Sailor" call I realized my son had not called and panicked. But you are absolutely right " No news is good news". So I will hope and pray for the best and stick with that.
Thanks Again

Hello all,
I just got some info that the calls will not begin until after 2pm CST and there are long lines to use the phones. So no news is good news at this point.

I just got the call!!! He's exhausted, and frustrated because liberty has changed related to the govt shutdown. They have to be back on base by 2100, and no one is leaving for "A" school. Everyone is staying on RTC and no new recruits from MEPS.

Just received the call from my son that he is a Sailor! He is division 378 and everyone in that division has passed! Congratulations to all. I am extremely grateful to everyone attached to this website for being my rock through it all! There really are not words to express what it has meant to me. My son was impressed that I had so much information about what is going on in their world and that is thanks to all of you. Looking forward to meeting all that will be at PIR this weekend. This is a day that I will never forget!
