My son wrote and mentioned that he is a section leader in his boot camp division. He said that he is responsible for 12 recruits. Part of his responsibility is to make sure that they are up on time, shaven, and quiet when they are getting too loud. He also mentioned that he gets to wear a silver pin with a pierced eagle with 2 chevrons. We are super proud of him. He is in Ship 11 Division 496. They graduate November 5th!!

I see what you mean! Yeah my husband didn't sound all that thrilled of his division.. I said "are you still section leader? I know you can lose that job quicker than you can say the name.." and he said "Oh yeah, they'll snatch it right off your chain and give it to someone else if you don't do it right.. they'll find someone else who can do it better." And so he sounded like he took it seriously.. but he DID sound frustrated of his division.

Being responsible for others is a double-edged sword. You feel proud of it and kinda great... but on the other hand you just want to shake the snot out of the slackers and the slow ones, the ones who don't care or catch on. I was the EPO is my division ages ago; the gals who would not study drove me crazy! I guarantee he is both enjoying it and being driven mad by it at the same time. And I was very proud when my nephew was made EPO for his division! Like a legacy almost.<br />

I'm sure the recruits are aware of this also. They are sharing their "new" status with their families and we're trying to find out what their responsibilities are with each new status. We're learning along with them. I don't think the responsibilities are that much different than what we tried to teach them. RDC are continuing to help them "grow" in the "responsibility" area. We are proud of our SAs.

I think anything that helps you grow as a person however fleeting is a good thing! I told him so in one of my letters recently, just in case he lost his SL status. :)

SA, seaman apprentice, is his real, actual paygrade of E-2. SL stands for section leader, their current job (not to be confused with rate, that comes later). Boot camp jobs come and go, although if they're good at it they may keep it for the entire time. RPO2 stands for <i>recruit</i> petty officer second class, but do NOT mistake that for anything meaningful outside of boot camp, it goes away once they graduate. In the meantime, it is responsibility, good practice for the fleet.

Kristen and I are in the same boat. (no pun intended). My son put "SA" after his name now, not sure what that stands for. He said he is a SL so I'm assuming it is an RPO2<br />
<br />
Recruit Section Leaders (SL) (RPO2)<br />
Section Leaders are responsible to the respective Watch Section Leader for:<br />
1. Supervise and assisting the Sailors in respective sections.<br />
2. Monitoring personal cleanliness, military appearance, clothing care and watch standing for Sailors assigned to respective sections.

Yeah my husband said his division hasn't been doing so hot. He is in ship 10 div. 169. He didn't tell me much about everything, but he acted like they'll get back on track since it's only week 3 for them. But I've seen that other moms said that their son who are in the same division as my husband, said that PIR might be delayed! :( But when I talked to him last night on the phone, he didn't act like PIR would be held back. So I'm hopinng everyone gets back on track! Like what you said about…

Like what you said about your son, people actually want to be there and do well.. it is upsetting that some guys goof around or don't get with the program and REALIZE they're there and it's a serious thing! It ruins it for us wives/mothers/fathers/girlfriends who've waited so long to see them again.

My son called home 5 days after getting there and said he was a section leader. He would also be carrying a flag at PIR. I didn't have much time to ask what his responsibilities were. He called today to get some info that his recruiter had copied wrong and said that his whole division had a stomach virus that was making it's way around to everyone. He sounded miserable.

Hey thank you for your response..it's crazy how much responsibility they all have. Now they all know what its like to get up in the middle of the night to take care of an infant.. well in a different way of course. It's just as tiresome.. but okay I'll definately look into that group! thanks!
