PIR 11/30/2012

[PIR - ( Pass In Review )]

This Discussion is intended as a place where parents and other loved ones who have SRs with a PIR of 30 November to gather and meet-and-greet and talk about this adventure.  Of course, I suppose anyone is welcome. 

If anyone knows of others on facebook and navyformoms.com, please direct them this way, too.

Hopefully, this will be a place where we can share stories about phonecalls and letters from our SRs. 

And I look forward, already, to meeting all of y'all at PIR.

Sincerely,

Scott

Attention on deck!

From RTC:

There will be FIFTEEN divisions graduating Nov. 30th. RTC is abiding by the policy that Active Duty/military retirees and children twelve and under do not count toward the 4 invitations each recruit receives. However, if an individual is not on the access list they will NOT be able to enter the drill hall (NO stand by). Please plan on arriving at least two hours before the ceremony, which begins promptly at 9 a.m. Thanks to all for your continued support of Recruit Training Command, the Navy's only boot camp!

THANK YOU VFW!!!

Jim, I think you were there today, taking such great care of our sons? If so I wanted to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to you and all of the other kind folks who blessed us by providing food, phones, and 'shelter in the storm' for our sons today.

I got to speak with my 802 son for more than an hour and a half. If it was your cell minutes we burned I'd gladly reimburse in beer at the meet and greet (one week from today) if you are able to make it over to Sarge's.

It's been a wonderful day. I'm grateful to all those who served at the VFW today, who have served before in those foreign wars, and those who are preparing to serve in days ahead. Thank you parents for raising fine sons who are training alongside my own. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can.
