I wanted to share a link with y'all to the Great Lakes Bulletin. It is an online newspaper that I think is updated weekly. What is cool is that it has pictures of Recruits! I am hoping one of us might catch a glimpse of our son or daughter! I'm pretty sure it's okay for me to post it; here it is:

The 10/12/2012 PIR group has been formed. Here is the link:
Please click and join if it is your PIR group.
We do not have a confiramtion on the Divisions yet and are relying on "guesstimate" and Form Letters. SO...here is some info below and anyone with a Form Letter confirmatuion...please post :-)
10/12 could start with Division 327...but it might be 329. Regular Divisions in a Training Group usually start with an odd number. The 900 Division will be 948 and it does have a SPECOP (800 Division) of 822.
The 10/05 starts with 317 and has an 800...so if it goes up to 326...and then add it's 900 Division that would be 12 Divisions..if 327 and 328 are included then 14. Not a common number... but it does happen.

For those of you who have received the form letter, giving you PIR date of 10/12, what are you division numbers? We are trying to figure out where the break is in divisions for PIR 10/5 and PIR 10/12. :) Thanks ladies!!!

Hello fellow stressed out mothers- my son left on the 15th from New Orleans. I got the box a couple days ago... ugh, I thought I was prepared for that. He's never been out of the care of family before. I see that some of yall haven't gotten the form letter yet either. That's freakin me out, I feel like having a heart attack everytime I go to the mailbox. I'm tired of my hubby telling me to chill. Anyway, greetings to yall from MS.
