SHIP 12, DIV 362
Hi,
My son left for boot camp on 9/6/2012 and received his address yesterday from his recruiter. Was wondering if anyone else has a son or daughter with the same Ship/Div #. Also, do you think his PIR will be on 11/2 or 11/9? Would like to connect with other moms and dads. It has been quite a rollercoaster ride but am so proud of him and thankful for all who serve our country.

DIvisions 351 and 352 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, Division 351 has been confirmed to have PIR on 11/02/2012, so division 352 is also in that TG. Join the group, PIR 11/02/2012 TG 51 (clickable link) to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.
