Anyone else's son or daughter leave on 6/10/14
My son left Seattle, WA on 6/10 for Navy Boot Camp. Anyone else on here leave at the same time? Wondering if anyone may be on the same time frame as I am? Thanks-Donna (Proud mom SR)

900 division are known to be musically or performance inclined. the preform shows for the troops. (from what i hear) What does Honor Guard do? Mine is in DIV 238 I guess that's just "regular" I'm not really positive though

From what i googled, i read that Honor Guard are a "Poster child for the Navy.. absolutely perfect bearing in all aspects. perfect in every way" That's pretty cool, congrats on that :)

By division would be fun to chat with the other mom's within each division. I'll keep an eye out. These forums have helped so much. I was an absolute mess all of last week.
The 900's are the Preforming Division. There's a big write up about it in the FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/484662688331431/

The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 939 is Ship Staff/Honor Guard. Honor Guard at the RTC is similar to the Honor Guard in the fleet, but not quite the same, but still a great honor to be chosen.
ellen replied to my message and said that PIR 08/08/2014 TG 39 will be up tonight.

americanavy1, there will later be a discussion within the PIR 08/08/2014 TG 39 group for Division 939 once the group is up. ellen must be dealing with things right now and has not had time to post the group yet.

Ship/Division--How it Works and 800 and 900 Divisions will give you more information about division numbers and what they mean. Yes, Division 238 is a "regular" division.
