my sons recruiter contacted me by e-mail with the mailing info.......although I have read on here that sometimes the recruiters info is not accurate and I should compare it with the form letter I get in the mail.....and the ship and div could possibly change..........but I am still going to send a letter every day to the address the recruiter gave me and if it is wrong i will just get my letters back and resend them again.........LOL

Hi Ann,
My son's buddy left for navy boot camp on 8/27 and he was able to write to me on 9/9 which is the second Sunday he was there. So I am thinking yes our SR's will be able to write us today. He also called his mom and dad on 9/19 which was 3 weeks after he arrived, so hopefully our SR's will do the same. I do not know any info about the divisions but if you find out let me know.

Hello everone, Be sure and join the PIR group for your SRs TG (training group) and divisions, I have posted the link below. There are many other there come join the fun!!
PIR: Nov 9, 2012 TG 52 - 12 Divisions (363–372, 823 & 952)
Quick tip on navigating the site. At the top of the page you will see "tabs". The "my page" tab takes you to just that your page. It will show you everything that you are discussing, groups you have joined etc.
When you click on the "groups" tab it will open a window for you that shows all the groups on this site. When you are on the groups page if you look just under the tabs you will see two links, one for all groups, the other says "my groups". Clicking on the "my groups" link will take you to a page that shows all of the groups you have joined. All links on that page are clickable.
Sounds complicated, it isn't :). Use it a couple times and click a few clicks you will be a pro!!!!
