Christine:  That is what is usually suggested with the index card that they can complete with departure info.  That they bring it with them after PIR and hand it to you.  It is too late for anyone to send a card now, but be sure to ask your sailor in the I'm a Sailor call to please write down departure info (including airport as there are two)....and give it to you after PIR. 

Good Afternoon!

Christine, We recommend you stop sending letters the Friday before (Sat at the latest). You probably have a pretty good idea how long mail takes to get to your recruit.

The last week of BC mail might be "spotty." Mail might not be delivered the day BS end, won't be delivered on Friday, and there might not be time to sort it all everyday PIR week.

The Navy does try to forward mail received, but as you can imagine with 6000 Sailors at the RTC coming and going, bags and bags of mail everyday, orders for A School and a forwarding address not always immediately at hand, some does get lost in the process and returned.

Navy Flexible=A learned skill used 24/7/365 when you have a loved one in the Navy.

It is the ability to change, alter, cancel, redo, expect, expect not to expect, twist, turn, sway, dance, jump, run, walk, pace, back flip, accomplish what seems to be the impossible, hurry, wait, hurry more then wait again. 

These abilities may be used individually, a few at a time, all at once, over a specific time or non specific time frame, in the future or immediately. Patience is the key!

Side effects that may be present while using this learned skill, anger, frustration, laughter, tears (expected and unexpected), joy, nervousness, time restrictions, worry, not understanding and never understanding, phone calls, wishing, hoping, and praying.

Welcome to the Navy Family!

Only 9 days left.... whooo hooo so excited

 

Comment by ChristineC on June 30, 2015 at 9:40am

I've seen the advice about sending a notecard for our soon-to-be sailors to fill out with their flight info. I'm curious why they can't bring the info that was given to them with them after PIR so that we can copy it then. Also, I'll probably just write letters until a couple days before PIR, but what is the advised last date for sending letters? Thanks!

You're very welcome, Christine~~  :)

Comment by DLBDCM on June 29, 2015 at 5:37pm

All Ship 14 Division 225. I received I'm a Sailor call on Friday around 4:00 pm. He sounded really tired but really happy. He also has a cold. He says the weather is still a little chilly for him. Thank you to all for helping me mentally through these weeks 9 weeks. I look so forward to meeting you all on Wednesday. 5-9pm

Comment by ChristineC on June 29, 2015 at 5:14pm

Thank you, CatMom.  Those facts are very helpful, even if it means more practice in being Navy Flexible.  It's good to know that's what the situation calls for. 

Comment by CatMom509 on June 29, 2015 at 4:56pm

Christine,

Most who are going to A school don't get their orders for their first duty stations until about 3 weeks prior to graduation.  I suppose if the Navy already knows where there is a need that the female Sailor would receive her orders early.  There is no rhyme or reason or sometimes even consistency when you are in the Navy.  Families learn that to sway with the needs of the Navy is to be "Navy Flexible", which will be a good thing for all of us to remember and live by now~~  :)
