Hi all...We also got our call today. Ship 9 div 071. I also thought they were on week 3. Otherwise how can they PIR on the 11th? I sure hope its the 11th now.  We already got our hotel and rent a car. Anyway, He is also doing well. He is a section leader and said they get up at 5am everyday. Has to stand watch every 3 days and its always the later watches. Said they are not marching well but getting better.  As we were talking we heard the company commanders come in yelling...GET OUT...GET OUT NOW! And he said a quick i love you guys and hung up.   Thats about it.  Im guessing we do not hear from him again until near PIR.

Recieved another letter today. Jan 11th will be the half way point.  He  said everything was going pretty good, thier div. got into a little bit of trouble but he did not elaborate as to why.  He said they had to do extra p.t.  Mentioned that his knee was giving him a little trouble but said he was getting by.  Hopefully we will get a phone call this week.

My son said they were about to start week three as well during his phone call on the 7th.  It doesn't seem to add up with a PIR date of 2/11.  Could be they are on an "off" schedule because of the holidays I suppose.

Good morning.  We have received the box of his stuff, but no letter. I have read several people receving a standard form letter, just curious what is on that letter and how do we get one. Thanks

Got an unexpected call today  from our son who is a nuke candidate Ship 09 Div 071 , he was in very good spirits his PIR date is 2/11 has has easily passed the physical fitness test and done good on all the written test & inspections.  He got his first pick of nuke rating, Electronics Technician (ET) they actually start up and shutdown the reactor and operate it.   He sounded very confident and happy what a difference a few more weeks makes and gotten passed the uncertainty.  The division has lost 16 people and 4 of the nukes it is like the game show Survivor LOL.   

 

By the way Joel the standard form letter used to come with the box but we got ours separately I think they mail it separately.  It mostly give the names of 4 people your son invited to graduation a Password if you plan to go so you can get a parking pass.   Then there are some do's and don'ts and how to contact them in an emergency et . anyway just keep waiting you will get the letter in a couple of days.  Welcome to the group the first 3 weeks is the hardest then it gets easier for you and for your recruit too.
