I think you are talking about the 09/075 forum page, my son as well has mentioned that they all know about it!
As long as we don't post anything on the main RTC page I think you will be fine! I started the Forum for our ship and division and my son knew about it!!

Letter!!! Yeah!!! He is doing great, sounded great! Has done a lot of IT!!! He said at inspection he got a "hit" because he was standing 6" too far away from his rack. He said "not bad for standing at attention for 2 1/2 hours....it was so painful"!! I also sent my SR the questionaire. He is still a Section Leader and got his E-5 pin for his collar. He told me to look it up on line to see what it looks like. On the question "what do you think about Boot Camp Surveys he added..."don't care for them but keep them coming...it's MAIL". He also wrote (funny) "keep the letters coming as much as possible, it makes me feel at home instead of in this "shithole" of Recruit Training Command, "GREAT MISTAKES", IL" LOL You all don't know my SR but he's a really funny kid!!

I think your SR is talking about his collar device for Boot Camp and being a section leader. The highest they can make in official rate in BC is E-3.
I think I posted the COC for RPO's in BC along with the link that explains them and a pic of a collar device on the main pages if the group. Scroll back and see. I am on my phone and will try to check. If I did not I will do it as soon as I can!
Okay... it is on page 24 of the main pages, January 27th, 1:49AM. -

Sorry nancygag....his pin is an E-5 pin but he's an E-2 Not sure how this all works but it's only the pin. I WISH he were an E-5. LOL I'm glad he is friends with your son!!! Where's Craig to clarify this??

I got my letter also. He said he thinks he will be receiving his E2 grade soon. He also said he has become a neat freak and I better be ready when he comes to visit. I am so happy he is doing better he sounded a little bummed in his last letter to me. Yay 29 more days and I am on my way to see my Boy.

Ladies, I'm not having much luck on the main page of this group or Boot Camp group. . . so, does anyone recognize your SR in this pic? I'm hanging onto a thread that it's div 75. The number could be 075. They only have the academic flag. That might just be my son but it's really, really hard to tell. So, I need someone to recognize someone. This picture was taken January 31st and is posted, along with pics from several other divisions, on the Naval Service Training Command facebook page. Scroll down a few posts to see the album with the 10 or so pictures in it. So, do you recognize your SR? Please don't post names here. Let's just verify whether this is or is not our division!

Oh my gosh I am soooo happy that is my son all the way to the right holding the blue and white flag with his glasses halfway down his nose. I am soooo over the moon right now you have no idea

Really, really, really??? You are sure that's your son??? This really is Division 075? Then I might very well really see my son, too.
You should go to the facebook page and comment under this picture that it's division 075. I believe there is already a discussion there about what division it is. Someone else was guessing a different division.

I am 100% sure. I even sent it to my mother she said she could pick him out instantly. I did not even tell her where he was. All I said is can you see your grandson and she emailed me right back and said all the way to the right holding the flag.
