Jim, when is the next Indiana get together?"
Jeff Schumacher commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim's group Indiana Dads (And Moms!)"To say am getting excited is a little bit of an understatement. 10 days and counting. He really seems to have matured a lot even in the past 2 weeks in his letters. I am looking forward to seeing him."
Jeff Schumacher commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim's group Indiana Dads (And Moms!)"Happy holidays everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Sounds like J is doing well and is down to 2 weeks!! Looking forward to PIR...."

Jeff Schumacher left a comment for WHM"My Jon is also Div 803. Navy Diver. It is good to connect with other 803 Dad's. He commented in a letter that being "on-spot" was brutal. His recruiter told us that 803 would have PT regularly and have long days. He said it was prep…"
Jim Butler replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"I don't believe they get any leave or liberty at all until boot camp is completed and they're "sailors", unless it's due to a family emergency.

Jeff Schumacher commented on NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim's group Indiana Dads (And Moms!)"Hello all,
Just a quick note to let everyone know Jonathan is off to Great Lakes Sunday at 1:30.
Appreciate thoughts and prayers."
Jim Butler replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"Thanks Randy. He met with his recruiter yesterday for his final "P-test" lol, and the recruiter told him 9.5wks, so don't know. He said that the week of the 24th was P-week, and his bootcamp would start the following…"
Randy Weston replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"Jim,
Yes on the 24th. The Navy does not take breaks when it comes to boot camp. It will be 8 weeks. My son went in 9/8 and his PIR is 10/30. Holidays will be treated as a standdown day or a Sunday, day of rest.

Jim Butler replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"Our son said he's shipping out to GL on Nov 24th, but that doesn't seem right to me. I've also heard different lengths of time for bootcamp, 7, 8, 9, and 9.5wks. Can someone chime in with the answer to that one? :)
Thanks,
Jim"
Lee replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"Just to chime in, my son shipped to RTC in November last year and PIRd in early Jan 2009. He did not get to come home for Christmas nor were we able to visit. Keep in mind, while he will be on holiday routine during this time, he will still have…"
NavyDads Co-Admin, Jim replied to Jeff Schumacher's discussion Home for the Holidays"You might try to contact the ombudsman at RTC to answer that question. I seriously doubt that they get to leave Great Lakes during Christmas. Remember, Recruit Training Command is just that...they are not in the Navy yet until graduation."

My son is in NAVY diver training in Panama City Beach, class 1030. There was no diver group on NAVY Dads so if you are interested you might wont to check Diver at NAVY Moms. The training is very difficult in pre-dive at GL. My sons swim partner was the best swimmer in his training division and was dropped on the last day of training. My sons pre-dive class started with about 35 and 14 made it to PCB. Good luck to your son. I post under CMESA on NAVY Moms.
