Our son SR alton is in Ship:2/ DIV 903. Anyone with a SR in the same ship/DIV? His PIR should be 1st week of Dec.

Congratulations ! Our son arrived at RTC on wed night 10/6/10, it's been tough these past few days and i find myself thinking of what he's doing all my waking hours and having gone through it 35 years ago i know he's hating it. The way i figured it, his PIR should be the second week of Dec, they could very well be in the same div since they arrived at about the same time. Please keep in touch with me and we can go through this trying time together.( quirk@cox.net). I'm now thinking we might be better off flying into Millwakee instead of Chicago.Good Luck & God bless them. Pete Quirk

I know at point in the Navy journey eight weeks sounds like forever, but as you get ready for PIR you'll see the time goes by much faster than you think. Read though old posts in the Bootcamp and PIR groups so you know what to expect and when to expect it! There are several links we've posted in the bootcamp group that let you follow along with his training as well as a link to the 479 page PDF of the offical trainee guide used at Great Lakes.
