Ship 12 (USS Triton) Divisons 029 & 030 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 029 & 030
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. 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!!!

Wow that is cool... now I have to wonder if my dad was ever on your sub lol he did a sea trial on my husbands ship (the Texas) before my husband and I met :)
I think my son is leaning toward fast attack but knows it is all up to the needs of the navy!

Mine too ellen.... Woo-hoo for the Triton....
I will send you a pm. I have something I bet your son would want....
Update: ellen for some reason I don't have you added as a friend. What I was going to tell you is I have an extra Triton coin that I don't need. I design all the boot camp coins for a company that sells them on ebay. Before they mint them, they have me inspect them to make sure they are correct. The sample I don't need it, so pm me your address and I can send it to you to give to your son. I have one extra Triton coin, and it's useless to me. The least I can do to a fellow admin....Woo-hoo!

Hi, my son is in Ship 12 Div 29. He left on 10/04. We have recieved the "kid in a box" and the form letter, now just waiting for a "real" letter! We are a military family, so we "kinda" know the drill, but like my son said - "Mom, things change, you were in the Navy like 50 years ago!" a bit of an exaggeration! ( I was in from 84 - 90 , his dad was in from 73 - 04 ) Things are so different being on this end. Makes me realize what I put my poor mother through!! Has anyone else found it odd that the training group still has question marks as far as the last division in this group and there has not been a new training group formed in two weeks?

Hi linda welcome to the group :) I have noticed that they havn't confirmed the TG on the bootcamp website too. Also i haven't really seen anyone on here whose sr left after the 5th. I have seen a few who are ready to go soon but it is a little weird.
I am waiting for a real letter too if not today probably next week

lets hope we get some "real" letters next week :) Thank you for the welcome ! 6 more weeks to go :)

Hi Linda, welcome to the group. Military family here also (76-96). I've found that knowing the drill from the other side hasn't helped a bit on this side :-(
I still haven't received the form letter, hopefully its in today's mail. I think we're safe on the PIR date if that's what is on the form letter. I've also noticed that there were a lot of SRs reporting dates moved up to the 10/1 - 1/4 timeframe, my son's included.
