Just type in "navy acronym" on your search engine and you will get a variety of links that will help.

PIR means Pass in Review. It is what we call the ceremony for boot camp graduation.

We got about an hour with him. What was more frustrating was that he was later told that he had more time. Jason ended up going out to eat with another family, for which I am very grateful! To top it off, he had delays at the airport because of snow and fog. At least after A & C school were over, he came home for about 3 weeks.

PAO = Public Affairs Office
RDC = Recruit Drill Commander
NEFM = Nuclear Electrician's Mate Fireman (fireman = someone who fires up the engines)
DC = Damage Control (the guys who fight/put out fires)
GL = Great Lakes, IL (boot camp location)
GC = Goose Creek, SC (Nuke "A" school location)
PFA = Personal Fitness Assessment
BS = Battle Stations (final exam for boot camp)

That's all I can think of for now. They go on & on. You just kind of learn them as you go along.
