My daughter is leaving for boot camp March 24th from AZ.  Is there anyone out there that has a son/daughter leaving that date or on that date from AZ?

Are you going done to MEPs and then going to the airport?  If so looks like we will be meeting.  Can't believe how fast the days are going. It's nice that his older brother is getting married before your son leaves so that he can be part of it.

My son left LAX, CA on March 24th.   I am contemplating booking my airfare for May 21st in anticipation of a May 22nd PIR date.   Is the form letter the very first place we will find this date out for sure?

Your recruit could have PIR on either 05/15/2015 or 05/22/2015 depending on the division he was placed in. The form letter is the first official documentation. The recruiter may have the info earlier, but if you get it from the recruiter don't send letters, but the PIR date should not change although some have, but it is rare.

Thanks so much!!!

You are very welcome.

Check your My Page.

We booked refundable tix for an anticipated PIR on May 22.

Boyfriend left march 24th, got the box just waiting on the letter. Anyone received their form letter yet?

Nothing yet. I beat my family out to the mailbox each afternoon. 

Received it today! Div 184. PIR 5/22.

Got the Form Letter today.  PIR May 22nd  Ship 11 Div 184!  So exciting.  Looks like some of our kids are in the same Ship and Div.

Join PIR 05/22/2015 TG 28 to connect with others with loved ones training with your recruit.  Divisions 183 and 184 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
