You must save the form letter you get from your SR. It will have important information on it including the password so you can download the parking pass when it's time to go to PIR. Even if you rent a vehicle to drive to PIR from your hotel, you will need the parking pass. SAVE THAT FORM LETTER!
That is all...stand down.

Another great day! I received my son's first letter! Even though we spoke with him Saturday and heard a great deal of the information from him directly that was contained in the letter, I read it about 12 times!! I cannot believe it has been 2 weeks today that he left. All of you who said it would go quickly were spot on!

Yes Mindshaper you are correct....I believe there is also some shipboard firefighting in there as well..Just sent another letter today with the latest national news. Also, noted on the Drudge Report today the Navy lauched its first carrier born Drone. Gives the Avionics sailors another option high tech option....

Hi All, I received my weekly letter from my soon to be SAILOR!!! Hooray for me!! Dated 09/MAY13(Week 5 Day 2). HE is still at BC.
The big news is he is a "Sharp Shooter" he missed Expert by 6 points! He will to re-take in 6 months. His Division has earned their Drill Flag. The last of the 4 Flags. Division 203 now have all 4 Flags! My son and his sister Division's Recruit Chief Petty Officer (Peterson, from Division 204) both now have their with the Senior Chief Anchors!!!!!! This means that Divisions 203 and 204 are the only Divisions that have Senior Chief Anchors!!!! They now get to march by themselves. No more RDC's HOO YAH!!! My son the RCPO and SR Hammon,the RLPO both have their White Belts!!! I wish to send a HUGE "HOO YAH" to SR Hammond's Family!!! You have to be so PROUD!! I hope that I did not CROW to loud. If you feel that I did, I am sorry. I just cannot be any other way. I am and have ALWAYS been my children's BIGGEST CHEER LEADER!! I could not be prouder of my soon to be SAILOR!!! So...... I am going to CROW FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!!! ;) Look out Goose Creek, SC.... Here come MY SON!!! HOOOOOO YAAAHHHH!!!!
