Navy Dads

My son is in SHIP 2 DIV 912, he arrived at RTC on 12/8/2010, with a PIR date of February 11 2011.

 

Thought I would start this and see if anyone else has a recruit in that division or with the same PIR date.  We live about 2 hours from the base so at the very least I could keep up updated on the weather.

Yes it was great to his face.  Second that on the weather, we're just an easy two hour drive from the base so storm or not we will be there but for the sake of all those flying in, I'm praying form good weather.

We got a letter from my son yesterday, sounds like everything is going well.  He got marksman at live fire training, he thinks he missed sharpshooter be only a few points, he blamed that on the Beretta being lighter than what he was used to.  It's good to see he was paying attention all those years, shooting well is great but a good excuse is essential.  Hell week wasn't too bad, just busy.  The gas chamber wasn't bad, it made his eyes sting was about it.

He liked working at the PIR last Friday, opening doors for officers.  Got a "good job" from one of them, he said that sort of thing didn't happen too much.  Looking forward to doing it again today.

At his PIR on the 11th he won't be opening doors, he got moved back to being a stick (this time explaining to his inquisitive father that a stick carries a flag) carrying a "S" flag I believe is what he said.

He would like us to bring his cell phone and MP3 player to his PIR and while on liberty he would like to drop them in a locker at O'Hare.

We're getting close here, very excited, it should be a loooong week!

Fred, Battle Stations as I understand it amounts to a kind of hands on final exam.  This link and the videos on it can explain it better than I can: http://www.navydads.com/forum/topics/battle-stations-21-1
