Son left for Chicago today

Posted by Carri Newby on December 11, 2012 at 9:32pm

Our son left this afternoon for boot camp. We are awaiting the I'm here call. He called us from airport a little while ago to tell us he had just got off plane. Based on another post he should PIR around Feb. 8th. How accurate is that?

    Thanks for that response. I'm not sure how the groups interact with others. Does that mean one group can cause issues for another group?

    Did he say how the div was going? ie winning flags or awards or anything like that?

    Gordon, we have gotten 3 letters from our SR but haven't spoken to him on the phone. He is on ship 03 div 091. He did mention there had been alot of "cut-ups" that were talking at times when there was suppose to be no talking , these recruits were causing problems for the entire group. Looking forward to PIR 08FEB13

    Nice to know I'm/we're not alone in this.  My son left for RTC this afternoon and we just received a 10 second call from him stating that indeed he made it there.  Someone once said, "Only love can break your heart."  While mine may not be down right broke, it surely took a serious whomping over the last several hours.  This became blatantly obvious when we got home, especially when I entered his room and admired the pictures and other items on his shelves.  Where did all that time go?  Despite this sorrow, I couldn't be prouder, nor more honored, to have my son serve in the US Navy with yours', and those of others', sailors.

    From what I understand about the timing of PIR:  Once they are assigned a DIV group, PIR dates are listed on the bottom right of this page under PIR dates.  

    May our recruits be safe.

    as a GUIDE you can roughly figure 8 Fridays after arrival.....wait for the form letter and pay attention to the DIV number then check this link: http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp

    my son arrived in GL on 10-dec.  it seem pretty safe for a 8-feb PIR, but perhaps we won't know for sure 'til the form letter arrives.  here is a very informative link left to me by mikeA regarding december GL arrivals ...
