Ship 04 (USS Arleigh Burke) Divisions 806.
Welcome to the Division Discussion for division 806.
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina, cor and a couple more ladies will be joining you to answer your questions about this "800" division. Although your SR is still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other divisions in this training group are doing. It is also recommended that you go into your "settings" (clickable link on the right side) and change your privacy setting to "private" and change everything to friends only.
Please still use the main wall to post general questions, and concerns, such as meet and greet questions etc. Specific questions regarding the 800 division should be posted here.
We “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like to, and the ladies helping out with the 800 divisions don't always get to the main wall as often as they 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 ladies!!!

We got a call tonight too! He too was in great spirits! He is loving it, he talked to us for a while and sounded relaxed. Could not think of a better way to start the weekend!

Hi everybody. My boyfriend is my SR in this division. I've haven't posted anything yet but I've been keeping up with all of you ladies since the beginning of bootcamp. It reassures me and gives me hope when I hear of others getting phone calls and letters. Now I have a question for the people who receive their calls already. Did you receive them on a land lien or a cell phone? I thought they could only call land lines. But a friend of mine got her call a few days ago and she got it on a cell phone.

Thanks. I'm hoping for this call. He called his parents for Christmas Day so I'm hoping I'll get my turn this time! Haha.

Hello all :) You have no idea (actually you probably do) how happy I am to have found this site/page. I have a son on Ship 04 DIV 806. He is going into diving. I have SO many questions. What is the best way to pay for the picture packages? Does anyone know where to get an updated price list? The one I found is from 2010. Meet & Greet? Have any of you decided which to go to? I would love to meet the parents of the (soon to be) Sailers that he has been and will be with. ~ Marie

Marie, The way I understand it is that the Sailor orders them and pays for them out of their own account and gets them at PIR...Parents can order but can not do so until PIR then it will be 4-6 weeks out. I have an updated (as far as I know) price list from a Navy Mom who's son graduated in December 2012... Personally I think the prices are outrageous! But they know we will not go without buying them!

Thank you, Kat, this was really helpful and answered all of my questions.
Are you a vet mom or do you have a "child" in BC now? My son is in the diving program
