Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you find this helpful and have fun!!

Good evening! We got our first letter dated Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Eric sounds good! No complaining. Cooper Mom, thanks for your status, it is helpful. He says Thursday they are being fitted for their dress whites and service uniforms. Read the rest of the information on the main page. Thanks .... Josie
Hello Division 360:

Just got my call today at about 11:15am(PST). Eric missed calling before due some additional testing that is done for the Nukes. We spoke about 10 minutes, as he had to call his Dad and Grandmother. He sounds tired and is ready to get out of boot camp.They took his wisdom teeth out. He was down for 3 days recovering from the oral surgery, they had a hard time getting his teeth out. He has passed he PT and academic tests. Failed the weapons test. I presume they will allow him to re-take the test? He is scheduled to be sent to A school on 11-7-10. I was glad to hear from him!

Thanks ..... Josie
Glad to hear you got a phone call. My husband got the phone call last wk but I was still at work and didn't get to talk to him. Funny about Eric being ready to get out of boot camp. Although our son seems to be doing well, his last letter said he was ready to get out. So close but so far away I guess. I would assume that they can re-take the tests. But this is my first time around for this so I am not the best one to comment on that.
iv 360 - Jsmom228(S07/DIV360/PIR11/5):

When I got home today I had another letter - 2nd real letter. HIs first letter said he liked BC, but now .... he is ready for it to end. I am looking forward to seeing the change!

Got a phone call today from our son! He is in Ship 7 Div 360 PIR 11/5 and said that there has been no announcement for the date of BS21! He also said that Div 359 was also getting to make calls today! Thank you RDC(s) in case you are reading this for letting them make the calls home...you rock!
