Welcome to the Division Discussion for divisions 105 and 106.

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!!!

I guess they call on the same day.

Hi Kandilee!  My son is also ship 14 div 105.  I spoke with him this past Monday and he sounded great!  He also likes boot camp and is really looking forward to PIR.  He told me div 105 would be the first to march into the hall. When "eyes right" is called, the division will turn and look directly at us.  I just know I'll be crying the whole time...lol. I'm so proud of my son as I know you are of yours  :)  Take care and good luck to your soon to be new Sailor!

 

Tissues, you betcha!  LOTS of them...lol.  Where is your son going to A school?

He's going to Meridian MS.  He'll be an LS, Logistics Sepcialist.  Nice that your son loves to cook!  He can make you a nice meal when he gets leave  :)

 

My SR is in Div 106. I got a call on Saturday too. She sounded good and she seems to be doing well. I hope to meet other parents at PIR. We will be staying at the Residence Inn.

Hi My SR is in Div 106 as well. 

hi Hope4best, I'm looking back through trying to find other's in div 106.  My son is div 106. He is an EOD that got put in this division since there were not enough EOD to make a div.  Have you heard from your SR lately?

 

Hi Carol,

Sorry for my late response.  I'm actually just seeing your message.  This is so new for me. Are you going to attend any of the Meet & Greets?  Does anyone know what address the Flanagan's Meet & Greet is located?

Hi, yes i originally registered for radison meet and greet but I changed my mind and am going to sarges's meet and greet.

My son is div 106. I have missed his calls on both Saturdays im so upset. Still waiting for a letter.
Carol in PA, my daughter said the division is coming together. She said they are doing okay. I think they got off to a slow start but are on track. If you want to private message me your son's name I'll try to ask my SR about him next time I hear from her. That way if you miss a call again I can let you know how they're doing. Hang in there!!

Kandilee, I spke to my son on Saturday too.
