My daughter is currently at bootcamp. This website is the best...has so much information on it. Im just starting to get comfortable with it two weeks in, at first it was a little overwhelming.
I received my form letter. My daughter is in SHIP 14, DIV 062 with a PIR date of 1/17/14.
Looking for others with same PIR date our same ship, div to talk to and connect with.

You have joined PIR 01/17/2014 TG 10; others will be joining you there. Divisions 061 and 062 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
So glad Im finding others in my daughters div...has anyone received a phone call yet?
Your recruits should have had holiday routine for the first time yesterday other than Thanksgiving so you should be getting letters this week. See Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit. There is info on phone calls in Phone Cards and Phone Calls.
My daughter is also on SHIP 14, DIV 062.
I've already mailed her 3 letters and a card . . . hoping to get a letter back and a phone call in the next week! Her call home when she arrived said it would be 3 weeks before I heard from her. I just keep writing to her in the meantime.
I keep sending letters as well. I even sent her one of those questionnaires from this web site. Hopefully she has time to answer it and send it back.
Hello, My son is in Ship 14 Div 061 with the PIR of 1/17/14 also. So far I have received his box and form letter but nothing else. I'm still waiting for his first letter. I've sent him several so far but I'm sure he needs them more than I do.
My daughter is with your daughter. Just received my form letter yesterday and she also is on SHIP 14, DIV 062. PIR date of 1/17/14. So glad to hear there is another female! I don't know why, but it's just comforting. It's been really hard not hearing from them.
