Hi, I'm new to this group. My son got back to GL today and will begin dive prep with the class that is starting up. His PIR was 11/4 and division 822. He was held up in THU after graduation so didn't get to go through with his division. Any one else who has a sailor beginning dive prep with this January group?

Hi all,
Just a little info If you have boys station in Virginia beach, my son got rob at his front door this week. Apparently during the winter months the robbers target the locals from virginia beach. My son was able and lucky that he chase the guy and beat the crap out of that guy. The guy will be charge. I am soo worried everyday that I have him call me everyday so I can makesure he is ok. I want to get the word out so the boys can be aware. My son is young and naiave. I hope he can be more aware of his surroundings. Takecare

Inaipaul, Good luck to your son. The divers do take care of each other, just like family. For me, that is very reassuring!
