Phil,
Congrads, we went to our Sons PIR last friday the 16th. If you want a seat at Ground level get to the Gate EARLY, Like 630 when they open the gate, we got on buckly road to Ohio (that is where the gate for graduation is) at 0730, between the traffic and waiting in line to get in the bldg, waiting in line to get your name checked off the list (Bring your ID) we got seated by 0845 and had to fight to get a seat on the ground floor bleachers. If you sit in front of the Div sign, you will get a good view of the Div, as they will actually be to the Right of the sign (as you view them) that way you get a 45deg view of them
Please feel free to ask question.
I would also like to Thank You for your Service.
Again Welcome and keep us updated as to you recruit’s progress.
HooYah US Navy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to take this time to point you in some of the right directions. For starters if you haven't had the time take a look at the right side of any page you click on. There you will find some useful information for you. The links under the about this site will help you with how this site got started, navigation, PIR, About us, community guidelines and some links to some of the groups that beginners with a lot of questions will find very useful. There is also a link called Navy Enlisted Ratings, this link will take you to a brief description of the rates (jobs) in the Navy that you can find your sailors rate and find out some information about the rate that they are in.
First and foremost though we are all here for the same reason. We are curious about what our young sailors are getting into and for more information about the rate or job that they will be doing for the next 4-6 yrs of their lives. I know when I first got here I had lots of questions and there was not a lot of people on this site but they all were either going through the same thing or had been through it and had sailors out in the fleet. Now this site has grown to over 2000 members, Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, sisters, brothers, girlfriends and boyfriends. Don't be afraid to ask questions of members in here because somewhere along the way we have all had the same questions and asked. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this site with various years of experience in the NAVY either on their own account or through their Sailors.
Again welcome aboard and BRAVO ZULU to you and your son Tyler on his enlistment and please thank him for me for making the choice to defend the freedoms that my family, this country and I have and enjoy.

As a parent of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what your son is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well.
As PIR draws closer, be sure to spend some time going through the PIR-Tips, Hints and Helps group- we’ve tried to assemble some tips and suggestions to make your sailor's PIR more enjoyable. Best Regards- Paul
