Greetings Les,

My son arrived on the 14th. We got his call from the Airport, as well as the one stating, "I have arrived, and I need to go!" LOL

I don't know if our sons will be on the same "ship", but let's stay in touch till we find out!

Right on Jeff!

Haven't received the box yet and anxiously waiting for the form letter.  Will update you as soon as I get it. Wishing the best for the boys and all the recent arrivals.

Cheers!

Hi Jeff,

He's in Ship 2 Div 917 PIR 07MAR.  That's pretty much 8 weeks from his arrival at BC.  I thought P-Week didn't count and was anticipating PIR 14MAR.  Did you get yours yet?

No, not yet. We just received the "box" on Monday. Surprised it came on a Holiday. Still no letter confirming what ship he is assigned or what group. I will let you know when I do get the info! Congrats! No Chicago on St. Patty's weekend. LOL

This just in.....

Sounds like our kids are one week apart. My son is on Ship 9, Div 107 and his PIR is 14Mar. He did have time to tell us in his call home that they intend to pull his wisdom teeth during Basic. He may be able to stick with this PIR date, but I will have to gather more info from here out. Good luck to your son and stay in touch brother!

Hi Jeff,

Got a call yesterday from my son advising that his wisdom teeth were pulled and was actually given a couple days light duty.  Says his PIR 07MAR is still the same.  I learned that he actually could have been PIR 14MAR but was pulled out of line on arrival when asked if anyone had performance/band/drill experience and directed to the 900 Div in a group that arrived a few days earlier.  Sounds like they needed slots to be filled..  In any event, looks like the Navy is really taking care of the boys with the necessary dental work. All the best to your son!
