No More "Sailor in a Box" - From RTC- Posted 5 Sept 2019


Attention families and friends of RTC: Previously, upon arrival to boot camp, recruits would box up their civilian belongings and ship it to their choice of destination. Our new procedure now has those boxes being stored locally and will be returned to the recruits the day before graduation. The new procedure went into effect this week beginning with Div. 409 in Training Group 52.

We talk about Holiday Routine at Boot Camp - here's the skinny

Sunday/Holiday Routine allows recruits to attend religious services and observe Federal holidays. From 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. recruits are able to: attend religious services, read and study, hygiene, perform uniform upkeep, write and read letters, or clean their rack and personal locker.

Important RTC/PIR Changes

RTC is making important changes to polices regarding PIR Guest Access as well as Bag Checks and Restriction Policies. Take the time to read thru these and be prepared when you head to Great Lakes for PIR.

DEPARTING RECRUIT TRAINING COMMAND AFTER
PASS-IN-REVIEW


Sailors transferring to Great Lakes “A” School:

If your new Sailor is attending “A” school in Great Lakes please note they will need to check into their new command before they can go on liberty. The Great Lakes “A” schools are not located onboard Recruit Training Command. The check-in process may take up to 5 hours. Please ensure your Sailor has your phone number so they can contact you once they have completed the check-in process.


Sailors transferring to “A” School Outside of Great
Lakes:

 

If your new Sailor is attending “A” School outside of Great Lakes, generally they will depart RTC the day after graduation. Travel arrangements are made by RTC; therefore, Sailors are required to travel on their government orders. If your Sailor is flying out of state they must travel to the airport using government transportation, you may not escort them to the airport; however, you may meet them at the airport.
Your Sailor will receive guidance from their Recruit Division Commander regarding their liberty period on the day of graduation. Your Sailor may be required to check out with their RDC prior to commencing liberty. Please ensure you return to RTC with adequate time for your Sailor to reach his barracks prior to expiration of liberty. RTC does not have your Recruits liberty or travel schedule, so you will need to stay in contact with them. Only your Recruit and their supervisor know their specific liberty schedule.

Phil....depending upon where they are to attend "A" school, the new sailors usually ship out on Saturday. They are brought to the airport very early. You can spend the day with them....and with an available security pass, accompany them all the way to the boarding area. Should their "A" school be at Great Lakes, you will have the full weekend to visit.

Our SR is with Ship 4 Div 223 PIR July 20th. We are working on planning our trip to GL. Do they usually get the weekend days to spend with family? 

Comment by Robert Trapnell on June 7, 2012 at 7:46pm

Does anyone have else have a SR assigned to ship 7, Div 225, with a PIR date of 20 July? Would love to hear from you!

Comment by Pete Mullally on June 7, 2012 at 1:57pm

Had a great time at the White Sox game on Tuesday June 5th for the swearing in of 86 recruits. Got to spent some time with our son, and family and friends before the recruits left for GL before the 6th inning. We got "the call" on the way home from the game too, and "the box" showed up at our house this afternoon. Now we wait for "the letter" and "the three week call", the next few weeks should be interesting. Nice to meet the Cooper's on Tuesday. Good luck SR Mullally.

Thanks for the link, I just joined the facebook group

Comment by Phil Shannon on June 6, 2012 at 9:07pm

I got a couple of calls today as well. I guess it's the security clearance process that Deputy JJ mentioned. Made my day to get those calls out of nowhere, and to hear her voice.

Comment by Ken Nelson on June 6, 2012 at 8:44pm

Deputy J J - I too got a couple early calls from my daughter because of her security clearance. Her rating will be IS. We have talked to Leanne a total of 6 times from bootcamp (the 15 second call, three security clearance calls, the three week call, and a call they got for good performance). We should be getting the I'm a Sailor call in the next couple days. This is a far cry from when our daughter Megan went last year where we talked a total of 3 times.
