Wow. Lot's of you from Texas! We have family in Austin. I love it there :) My SR is in div. 066 and we are from the Chicago area. Nice and cold up here! We only live about 45 minutes from Great Lakes. Still thinking about getting a hotel room Thursday and Friday nights because I've heard that it can take hours to check into their A School. My son is 22 and staying in GL for A School. He will be a Machinist Mate. Anyone else?

OK not sure if this is exact but. Our recruits are kinda on an accelerated track it seems. They have 8 weeks and 3 holidays in there. Usually from what I saw BS21 is last week (8) or next week (9). But ours will be week 5 day 2. Somewhere around there. That's like Dec 24th..... Anyone else heard that?

BS for this group will not be in December, it will probably be at the beginning of PIR week. BS is generally week 6 day 5 of training, it can be sooner if a push division.

It's so great to have a place to go to hear from and talk to other moms from Division 66! I am so grateful for all the effort these veteran moms go to to make it easier on us new moms. My son will go to A school in South Carolina. Do any of you have SRs going there after PIR? Funny that so many of you are from Texas, but really neat! We are from Idaho. Just hoping we can get to PIR without any travel issues.

We're coming for graduation from Utah! My husband is Div 65. My husband also said they're on an accelerated track as well. He said they're doing everything in 6 weeks instead of the typical 8 or so.
I'll be headed to Dallas Fortworth for Christmas! It's crazy how many of you are in Texas. And no other Div 65 yet? -
