Hi ladies. I haven't heard anything official, no letter from my sailor yet. I called the recruiter's office and was told he is in Ship 2, Div 911. From everything I was able to read, they are a special group that performs (band, choir, drill team, honor guard, etc). I am not an expert and am repeating what I read. I heard they have more work than some of the other recruits because of the time it takes to prepare for their performances. I understand they actually participate in other PIRs after their fourth week in boot camp. Let me know if you get the same info. Although I am using "KidsLuvNavy" as my name, please feel free to call me Lynn.

I have heard the same thing about this division. If you could know exactly what part they do it would be great to see it on the upcoming PIR's. Still waiting to hear from my son. Do you think that they will get some time on Christmas to let them have a longer phone call? I am not sure how the holiday time works in bootcamp. Any thoughts?

Hi All, Finally got my graduation letter today. My son is ship 2 div 911. He wrote a letter on the back of the paperwork and said that the 911 division is a special/elite unit and that he was hand picked by a chief. He said they got their first punishment last night because the showers were not spick and span. He said that boot camp is alot to handle but he is doing ok. I can't tell you how much better I feel now - He graduates on Feb 3rd.

Nope, haven't heard anything either. It will probably go to his dad, who he lived with prior to arriving at boot camp. But last I heard was that he hasn't gotten a letter either. He did get the box of clothes. I started writing anyway, hoping the recruiter gave me the correct ship & division. (Otherwise, I pray I don't get my sailor in trouble if I have the wrong address.) Let's all be patient though. It could be that the extra duties are taking up a lot more of their time and energy. Let's face it, if they have the chance to sleep or write... If they're smart, they'd sleep. :o)
Let's all keep each other posted when we start getting information. I know I'm really, really glad to have this group to go to! Thanks all.

Hi All! I just mailed my son his Christmas Card!! I couldn't even write anything in it but that I love him! I guess if I had signed it before his 9 year old sister and Dad I would have been better! lol
I sure do hope that they are getting our mail! I know they are very busy and with the 911 extra stuff I'm sure more busy! I can't remember where I saw and then read it but it was a week by week break down of everything they do. Really interesting and intense. If I find it again I will post a link...
Have a great day everyone! Mary Clare

Hi All,
It's Sunday - any chance our phones are going to ring today? When my son called upon arrival he said 3 weeks. My guess is either today or most likely next Sunday which would be on Xmas - either or both would be fine. If anyone on our ship gets a real letter or phone call - please post so we all know.
Have a great day!
