No More "Sailor in a Box" - From RTC- Posted 5 Sept 2019
Attention families and friends of RTC: Previously, upon arrival to boot camp, recruits would box up their civilian belongings and ship it to their choice of destination. Our new procedure now has those boxes being stored locally and will be returned to the recruits the day before graduation. The new procedure went into effect this week beginning with Div. 409 in Training Group 52.

We had an honor recruit and had to check in by 0715. Our hotel shuttle didn't leave for the first time until 0700. We left very early and parked in the METRA parking lot. We sat in the car for a little while before getting in the line to enter the base. It was very easy entry and departure.
When dropping off our Sailor, we only had to show IDs but had the pass in the driver's side dash and had rental agreement handy.
We ALWAYS suggest you take a shuttle/taxi from your lodging to the base...I've drove once and took the shuttle for my other PIR....shuttle is THE way to go....
Piping in re: rental. Yes, the rental agreement is the ''registration".
Also, yes, when that bay door opened - first the frozen January air took our breath away, then the entry of the new Sailors brought tears that almost rendered my vision useless for the entire ceremony. Glad we received the video a month and a half later to see what I almost missed!
Just came from PIR weekend, otherwise known as "gradzilla"........., you have to have parking pass in front driver's side window on dash board and they only stopped every 5th car and asked to see my driver's license ONLY. I did have everything just in case ...........I think they did it that way because of the sheer amount of cars. Once in the building, they did I.D. every one. They also did random searches, one person in our group had to go to security check point and empty pockets and get the Wand treatment........
it was well organized and very emotional........especially when that bay door begins to roll up.......
Good luck
Thanks Mark just feels better to be told rather than assume. Makes sense to me.
Randy for Rentals all you need is your rental contract that will be sufficient.
Printing off Parking pass for the 3-30 PIR. It requests Driver's license and proof of insurance. Also registration. My question to the group is when you have a rental car does the paperwork with the rental company considered the registration papers? After all I do not own the car. Thanks for any help is much appreciated.
So true! And the Dads who can't see because they have teers in their eyes.
thank RTC training:
CID Sailor Saves Drowning Woman from Pool in Pensacola
By Gary Nichols, Center for Information Dominance Public Affairs
PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- A student at the Center for Information Dominance Unit (CID) Corry Station rescued a drowning woman he found floating face down in a Pensacola hotel pool March 13.
Information Systems Technician "A" School student Seaman Apprentice Nicholas Putskey, 19, of Wautoma, Wis., resuscitated Barbara Hogan of Massachusetts, who had lost consciousness while swimming in a hotel pool.
Lt. Larry Richardson of the Myrtle Grove Volunteer Fire Dept., which responded to the emergency call, credited Putskey's quick action with saving Hogan's life.
"It was definitely crucial," Richardson said. "It only takes a little bit of time in the water to make or break them, so he definitely did what he was supposed to, that's for sure."
"He is a hero," Hogan said. "Both myself and my family are grateful to him. I owe my life to him."
Hogan was in the area to visit her son who had recently graduated from "A" school at CID Unit Corry Station.
Putskey's mother, Jane Putskey, and fiancée, Chelsey Clark, both of Wautoma, were spending spring break in Pensacola to visit him.
He and his girlfriend were swimming at the same time that Hogan and her niece were playing in the pool.
As the young couple were about to leave the pool, Clark noticed Hogan was face down and immobile.
"I immediately dived into the pool and pulled her out," Putskey said. "She was blue in the face, blue as can be, and she wasn't breathing at all."
Since Hogan wasn't breathing, Putskey immediately began CPR. Meanwhile, Clark watched the little girl and called for help.
"I revived her and she came back to her senses," Putskey said. "She was a little dazed, and didn't know where she was, but she was alive."
Putskey and Clark stayed with Hogan until fire-rescue arrived on scene.
Hogan was transported by Myrtle Grove Volunteer Fire Department to Baptist Health Care where she was treated and later released.
"He pulled her out of the water, gave her a few rescue breaths, then started CPR," Richardson said. "She definitely had water in her lungs, but she was alert by the time we got there."
Putskey said his boot camp training was the key to him doing the right thing at the time.
"At the time, it was just instinct that kicked in and made me do what I did," Putskey said. "What I learned at boot camp - CPR and first aid - all came back to me. I'm glad it all worked out."
CID Unit Commanding Officer Cmdr. L. Sung had high praise for the young Sailor who reported on board CID Unit Corry Station in October for training.
"Seaman Nicholas Putskey embodies our Navy core values of honor, courage, and commitment. His actions were truly of a heroic nature and are a testament to his training at Recruit Training Center Great Lakes," Sung said. "His humble demeanor is an example of his commitment of service to others. We at CID Unit Corry Station are all very proud of his quick reaction in saving the life of another Sailor's mother."
All the attention that has suddenly been focused on Putskey has made him a bit self-conscious. He said the successful rescue couldn't have happened without others pitching in and doing their part.
"It was definitely a team effort," Putskey said. "For example, a lady named Tamea, who is one of the hotel maids, stayed with me to help calm the woman and make her comfortable while my girlfriend went for help."
