Michelle: Remember, all in the 900 divisions do not necessarily have musical/drill team talent. They usually select SRs who tested high on ASVAB test since they will have to keep up with Bootcamp schedule AND their practicing schedule. But some in the division will be doing administrative activities....such as tending to the VIPs at the PIR services. The 900 divisions perform not only at their own PIR, but the 2 PIRs before theirs. It is hard for some families who have non-performing members of the 900 divisions since they possibly could be working "behind the scenes" at their own PIR.
I'm sure once you hear more from your daughter, you will understand it better!
Good Morning All!

I'm sorry there weren't more calls today for this group. It may be because they just arrived. But hoping that you may get a call this Saturday! Keep the phones close then!

I got a call tonight from my SR. He is on Ship 14 div 61. The call lasted exactly 2 minutes. He was very down and sounded as tho he was trying not to cry. That was a very hard call!

My SR is in ship 2 Div 910 - any other triple threat members here?

creolegoddess: Wow....I'm just so sorry, and know he is terribly disappointed....I guess if there is a ray of sunshine in this it is that they did this right now., Believe it or not, we have had a couple of sailors recently in earlier PIR groups who made it all the way through Bootcamp, graduated, THEN were discharged for a medical condition that was known earlier. Horrible....
Blessings to your you and your SR.....

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
The form letters can sometimes take 2 week or more to receive....it just depends on how quickly that division fills up and how far your letter has to travel. So be patient!
Just a point of interest....you can write your SRs now, but they will not receive these letters for about 2 weeks until the Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained. That will be the first time they can write to family also. They may write their letter before receiving their held mail, so don't be surprised if they ask why you haven't written! They will get your letters right after that.
Once they receive that initial mail delivery, they will be able to write once a week (mail out on Monday) but will receive mail M-F.
Welcome to Navy Bootcamp!

creolegoddess: I"m so sorry. Wow....what a shame that whatever is wrong wasn't caught before he was shipped to Bootcamp, but that is what happens all of the time. With the recruiters, it is about "numbers" for them rather than heartbreak for a SR and family. Really is so upsetting to me. I hope that your SR will be ok medically.

Blessed Thanksgiving!!

richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs
from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude
in your hearts." Colossians 3:16
