Question throughout boot camp we have written SR in front of their names. After PIR just it just become last name, first name? How would we address them on the envelope. I was wanting to write a letter and mail it next Wednesday that he would get forwarded on to him at a school. And would like to address it properly because when he gets it, he will no longer be an SR.

The simple answer is SA......Seaman Apprentice. Here is a note from our Navy Rates page...
If an enlisted member has qualified for a rate, but has not yet become a petty officer, he is called a designated striker, and is identified by a striker's badge that displays the sailor's rating, along with his group rate marks. The service person is addressed by one's group designation, if known (e.g., Fireman Jones, Constructionman Apprentice Smith); by the generic appellation 'seaman'; or by one's striker designation (Boatswain's Mate Seaman Watson, Culinary Specialist Seaman Recruit Johnson).
