Leaving this group now....blessings to your sailors in their Navy futures!

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2014 at 2:18pm

Will do, Bookster.  Thanks for the heads up!

Comment by Bookster on November 30, 2014 at 8:09pm
Yes please tell all parents to arrive super early to PIR. We arrived at seven fifteen and his section was already full(still can't forgive myself) so we had to sit in a side section.
Also I loved the gurner mill mall and the surrounding restaurants. If I had to do it all over I would head there after graduation, eat in a restaurant, stroll te mall and then go see a movie. It's all together and within a good driving distance so the sailors are not nervous about getting back in time. I LOVED the navy lodge hands down. So darn close!

That's right, michelle!  My son told me the same thing when on Liberty after PIR.  He was scared to death to be late after Liberty....so much so....that....my older son's GPS took us to a closed down restaurant....sailor son went nuts and said forget it, he didn't need to eat dinner, he CANNOT be late....he will just skip dinner....as it was, we found a Buffalo Wings place near the Walmart....which was fast and filled with A School sailors.....so he enjoyed visiting with them.  We got to the base 45 minutes before time to be back, we drove on base to the Chapel parking lot so he was closer and he STILL wanted to get right out of the car and head to his ship!  This from my formerly rebellious son!  HA!  The Navy certainly had reformed him!  :-)

My sons both let me know that if you are on time in the Navy you are already late. 

Comment by diannep on November 30, 2014 at 12:46pm

Thanks michelle for that info.  The moral of the story for all PIRs and adopt a sailor days.....BE EARLY!  Can't go wrong if early!

I always have recommended that people get to RTC when the gates open....to choose seating, etc.  I have had a few in the past say it wasn't necessary to be there that early....but most said they were glad they did go early because they got the seats they wanted.

I just want to thank everyone on this website for all of your support and the information that was provided. I also want to let those moms know who have Sailors going to Groton, CT for A School that if their sailor needs anything while they are here I live close by (within in minutes) and can provide you with my contact information. 

diannep- We picked up my other SR for Thanksgiving along with one of his shipmates. They started at 7:30 AM instead of 8:00. We were there early. They did not have to be back until 7:30PM but we arrived a little before 6 and just hung out in the car. When I left the line to get into the main gate was a few miles long. Make sure you leave early to return them - I did see several SR's running for the gate. It was an awesome day for my new sailor and his SR brother.
