I am waiting for the letter to let me know my son's division. My son went to boot camp June 12th.

have you heard from your son, what ship he is on, my daughter finally wrote to me after almost four weeks and one day i get 4 letters in the mail at one time. the happiest day of my life. who thought you could get so excited over a letter, kinda takes you back to high school days. i have written her several and it was great to know that she had gotten them. you will get yours and you will feel just as good.

Join PIR: August 4, 2017 TG 39.

Check your My Page.

my daughter left june 12th she is in div 239. I miss her  like crazy, she called me once for some info and she was in tears. i just reminded her that this is what she wanted and to be strong. but it was so hard to hear her upset.

I left info for you on Your My Page.

My son left that same day as well, he is in Div 243

andybug, I left info for you on your My Page.

My son is ship 06 DIV 243 and left whit sox game June 13.ok

Hockey13chic, I left info for you on your My Page.

My son is in the same ship as well. When he called he stated that his Div was struggling, but maybe they tell all the divisions that so that they push harder.

andybug, some divisions take a few weeks to start working together, but the recruits usually figure out that things go better for them when they work together and do things the Navy way instead of their own way. By the next call or letter, things will hopefully be better.

Hi Linda,

My son also is in this division. See the news coverage here:
