Training Group vs. Division
I just spoke to the Public Affairs Office this morning 12/7/12
Q: Does Training Group mean the same as Division when it comes to adopting a sailor?
A: No, The training groups is like an umbrella, they hold all divisions.(they are eight Division underneath the umbrella of Training Group 7 )
So when it comes to adopting a sailor, as long as there in the same training group you're allowed to adopt another sailor out. even though they may be in the different division. what they look at is training group not division.
So if anyone is able to adopt my son from the same training group,Training Group 7 (TG 7)
I would really appreciate it!
these are the 8 Divisions that can adopt(039, 040, 041. 042, 043, 044, 906 & 907)
PIR 12/28/2012
My plane arrives on Christmas day at 12 noon. I just found out, that I had to pick up my son between 8 AM and 9 AM. Can someone adopt him for me until I get in?

Hello everyone. My journey is about to begin as my son leaves for BC in less than a week(12.11.12). We did not have much time to transition to any of this because he went to MEPS just last week and he left with a very short time to prepare. Looking forward to talking with other mom's and sharing experiences. God bless groups like these, don't know what I would do without others who can relate.

My son left for boot camp in Great Lakes Nov. 1 and got my first real letter Friday. He said he was chosen for Ship's Staff and said he didn't know if that was good or bad. Does anyone know whatit means to be on Ship's Staff?
