Div 818 PIR 9/2
Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Vicki, I cant wait for A school either simply because we can communicate more easily. :) Your son is one of the best of the best. You must be so proud! I was about at my wits end trying to come up with reasons for our 4 year old daughter why she hadn't heard from her Daddy yet. I know what you are going through and if you need anything please let me know. The letter WILL come and you will feel exponentially better. What helped me the most in the interim was hearing what his div was doing from all these Moms who have received letters. I will be thinking of you. :)

Hi Vicki, When I called they told me that the division was G&G leaving on Saturday, however, I have been told that we should not count on anything until we hear directly from our recruits. I'm hoping my husband will have the time to write this week (today actually) and let me know. My husband said that they are really busy between their jobs and studying. It will come soon! :)

Vicki: Good Morning, It seems that most of the Mom's of div 818 recruits that called about Grad & Go have son's that are either dive or rescue swimmer who will be going to Pensacola for school. Our son is SWCC & was told before he left that he would be staying on at GL & then going to Coronado CA. I am waiting to hear specifically from our son about this before coming to any conclusions.

Tanya, I cant tell you how much that helps. It is a difficult transition, he has been so involved but you are right after the fact would be much better and my husband is definitely a fixer. :) Thank you so much
