Michael B - PIR 3/20/09

thanks for the info. I will tell my son to order one. The plans are going well I think were ready to go! I just got a letter today and it sounds like everything is going well.
I can't wait to see him!

Hi Joe, I saw that you had a fifth person in your group, and I had a couple of questions for you. Did they give you a hard time at the gate about bringing an extra person, we have six? Is the visiters center far from the gate, and can they wait till pir is over if they cant get in? If you don't know that is fine, you are just the only person I've seen on here that has taken more than four. Congrats on your daughter becoming a sailor. My son is currently in bootcamp, and scheduled to pir 4/24. We recived our first letter a couple days ago, and he is pretty homesick right now. My wife and I are both navy vets and realize that is normal for kids laeving home for the first time go through this. We know he will be fine.

Thank you for the info Joe. My son Buck is going to be a diver if all goes as planned. The recruiter said that only 70% pass "a" school, but I think he'll be fine. Buck was a depper for 15 months and worked out at the ymca to stay in shape. They have to pass thier pst once a month, and can't fail it more than two times once they qualify, or they're dropped. We did have a scare when he took it while recovering from tonsilitis. He failed the run by 10 seconds, and it was 30 days before he left. He passed the next week, and all is well now.
