Just got my son's mailing information so I thought I would start a discussion for anyone else on this sight with SR's on the same "ship" so we can keep in touch, support one-another and hopefully get together at Sarge's the night before PIR

Thanks, that was what we were hoping. Now just to find the right balance of spending some more time on Sunday and flying out that afternoon. Have a long drive home from KC Sunday night if we plan on having out son back for school Monday morning.

Finally just had a phone call from our daughter this weekend. We had just about given up getting one. Doing well. Hopefully more will get their calls yet today, more were waiting to call after her!
Finally got letters from daughter today. Ship 11 Div 395 Sent letters out last Sunday. Overall doing well.
I got a call from my sailor in Ship 11, Division 395 this past Saturday. I'm pretty sure that they take them down in groups and I know that calls and anything else are definitely earned by the group/ sailors.
You should be getting a letter sometime this week or next if your boyfriend is in the same division and ship as mine! When he called he said that they're finally going to be able to send letters this past Sunday. So up until then they've been receiving letters, but they haven't been able to send any out!
I hope this helps in any way!

Hey Dave,
They should be reading our letters today, as well as given a chance to write a few. Hopefully by Wed we will see something. Make sure you check in to the PIR 18 OCT discussion in this same Bootcamp thread. We're trying to grow that group with all the 18 Oct grad families.

My daughter is also Ship 11 DIV 395. Just started looking in schedules and planning for PIR on 18 Oct. Her A school is supposed to be at Great Lakes also. Looking at some of the info here, I'm hoping she will have some liberty the day after PIR to spend a little time together.
Hey Chris,
Another Dad has created a thread for PIR date 18 Oct under the General Forum. I recommended he move it to the Bootcamp forum. In either case I recommend we meet up in whichever location that ends up. See ya there.

Hard for me to justify the price difference for the possible downside of simply spending an extra night in Chicago after our son has departed. Not that I like Chicago...I don't, but I'm sure I can find a way to keep us entertained for a day. Have you gotten any more information on a PIR date?
Know it well. Ditto, Myself, wife and remaining son (15) planning on heading to PIR. We were hoping to get there early enough on thur to attend the gathering at Sarge's. Still going to have to wait to see travel options. We're planning on staying at the Navy Lodge when we get there. Also trying to figure out how long to stay. We know our son is headed to Pensacola afterword and don't want to just up and leave if he is going to be there on liberty for most of the weekend. Right now I'm thinking we'll depart Sun morning.
