To the parents of Div 913, I haven't heard anything from my daughter since the forum letter.  I also so the Triple Threat guidon, but not her.  I would be imagine she is in the back of the formation.

Please let me know if I have made an error in the ship number of your SRs division.

Your Division Discussions have been posted up above. Please use them to get to know each other even better on a "Divisional" basis...BUT remember that you all have the same PIR date and many of you will be attending the same Meet and Greets...so please continue to post on the Main Wall here.

Also, please continue to post your questions for us "veteran moms" on the Main Wall here. We can have 7-8 active PIR groups going at one time..that's 70-90 Divisions! We try to get to the Division Discussions but with that many it is difficult! We don't want to miss any questions as ALL are important...no dumb ones...for many of you this is your first servicemember and we want to be there to help and lend support.

Division discussions now open for business!!

POST AWAY!!

N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC apply to the Discussion Forum area as well. The Division Discussions are viewable to all...just like the Main Wall here.

Please do not start new division discussions!!!!

The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is set at ten titles at a time for now. (This can be adjusted by the group creator or an administrator)

It is also set to show the "latest activity" (there are other settings). So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. The discussion will stay up there at the top because it has had "activity"…until the next Discussion has activity. If there are over ten discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear from view…but not from the Discussion Forum. So, if you want to see more, click "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.

When you view a discussion forum by clicking on the title, the first post ever made will be the first one on the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.

~You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.

Very Happy to hear that Ashley! It's such a wonderful feeling to hear there voice. I just sent mine a calling card since most of the calling cards for his division did not work. So hopefully I'll here from him by New Years, I hope. Also just FYI if your looking at those group facebook pics of the recruit if you right click and save the pic you can open it up in windows gallery and zoom in to see their faces to determine if it your SR or not. May help I had to do that on a few to find my son.

Overjoyed! Received a 42 minute phone call from my SR today (ship 11 div 91). He says they feed them a lot, mostly carbs. His mail is held until Mondays when they send it out, and he didn't have any issues with the unslashed zeroes on letters already sent from me.

My Recruit is in 913 and I haven't heard anything from him.  I only got the form letter this past Monday (22nd). I did read about the 913 Div on this site with helpful info.  I didn't even know if my Recruit was able to get into the band until I read the info.  I looked through 612 photos on the Facebook page  from Christmas Day searching for my son with no luck although I did see a couple photos of a group outside with the flag "Triple Threat". My son is not much of a letter writer.  :(  But I'm hoping...

Has anyone heard from Division 913 other than form letter?

Comment by Eve on December 27, 2014 at 4:18pm

I agree with Catmom509!  In my case my son was very detailed in his letter about his experience from the moment he arrived at the airport and everything in between. He told me about their peanut butter shot of penicillin that Div 086 received on their buttocks that hurt a lot and had them limping for days. But he can laugh about it now looking back. :)  He also  clearly spelled out to me that  I should slash all the  zeros on return address and address line on the outside of an envelope. Just as he has or they will get in trouble for it. He mentioned that several times and bold and underlined it to be perfectly clear. I know it may mean the punishment is  more physically intense training or something along those lines. But I can imagine their training is physically and mentally intense to begin with to make them better equipped sailors. I'm going to help him out anyway I can by respecting his wishes and praying for them all. I simply wanted to share it with you as well. But you should ultimately decide what is best for your SR.
