hello to all of you out there!! my son did not mention what he would be doing but I know he will enjoy what ever he is assigned too. he has played the trumpet for 9 years and was in the marching band for 4. hoping to get a call from him as I have yet to receive one. I did get an itty bitty letter last Saturday but it did not have much info as it was written with him being at bc for only 4 days. hoping to connect with many of you and meet at the meet and greet or PIR. HOOYAY!!

bravegirl09 - my son played trombone for 9 years and also marched. This 900 division though is the Ship Staff division. They rotate the 900 division between Triple Threat (choir, band and drill team) and Sticks (those that carry the state flags) it seems. I was looking forward to my son playing, however that isn't going to happen. He told me in our short phone call that his PIR duty was to open the door for the RTC command and staff when they arrive. Tomorrow will be another Friday to mark off our count! Can't wait till 4/4/14!

Just found out my boyfriends job at PIR is a "sideboy" ..does anybody know what this job is exactly? thanks!
-

@Lafoto2 - I think I read somewhere that sideboys are greeters although not 100% sure tho..
-
-
-
lafoto - A sideboy is a SR who stands on either side of the double wooden doors at PIR and salutes the higher ranking guest as he/she enters!

That's cool! So he will be one of the honor guard. Exciting stuff!
