DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 281 and 282

Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.

Every single question that is asked is important

Every single concern is genuine

Every single member is important to us

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

Hang in there!!!

Hello moms! My son is in 282, and his letters didn't arrive here (SC) until yesterday. It seems I've been almost the last to receive the box, form letter, and personal letters but I'm assuming that's because I live so far south. By chance is there a R*(PERSEC)here? Our sons are bunk mates and are also going to Groton together.

*(edited to remove last name PERSEC and N4M guidlines)

Delete my post, please.

Hi, I don't know if Ellen or NavyMomLiz wrote this but I am brand new and my son is in 282 and his last name begins with R and he is going to Groton...

I am worried he hasn't gotten my mail because they changed ships from 2 to 6 before we realized and we sent all our letters to 2.

Do you know if they forward mail?

 

Hi, just got my call, from my SR! So Happy to hear his voice again, we were just both crying Happy Tears, his doing well and he said they have good food lol. Hope u guys get ur call too.

We just got our call also :) He sounded great!!

They pulled all four of his wisdom teeth Tuesday...but, thank God, he had no complications. It was sooo good to hear his voice!

I hope everyone gets to talk to their SR!  

281 & 282 both got to make calls today. :) Who all got calls? I got my call from 281. My SR sounded great. Said boot camp isn't too bad. He failed his first fitness test pretty bad but did real good on the first written test. He said RDCs are working with him and he is improving quick with the fitness part. It was so nice to talk to him! They're headed to ship 6. Mail from Ship 4 should forward over easy enough. He said he's gotten close to a few fellow SRs. Last names start with Gr, Bu, & Wi. If it could be one of your guys please send me a message so we can see if they match up!

My brother is in 281 and his last name begins with Gr. I'll try to send you a message if I can figure it out. I received a call as well. He seems to be in good spirits. He mentioned in his letter and his call that there are a lot of recruits straight out of high school that tend to chatter too much and do not address the petty officers or chiefs properly, so they are having to drop and do push-ups on a regular basis.
