Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 135 and 136
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!
Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.
Every single question that is asked is important Every single concern is genuine Every single member is important to us We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

HI! I see im the first one here. New to the site and enjoying all of the information! Very excited for my son, to hear from him (missed his first call , Stupid "smart" phone) and to see how wel he is adjusting. Id love to hear from other moms!
Hi AnissaH594,
I'm fairly new to the page too. I was having a hard time figuring out how to get to certain things. My son called Saturday, but no letters yet. My son had a wicked cold when he called.
I was trying to figure out what time on Tuesdays they post the trivia question to the recruit page, I asked but no one got back to me. Do you know?
Jodi I do not know.. I am with you on the want to know! Id love to see my SR! I take it your son is in this division as well?
Anissa sorry I am just getting back to you. I am having a hard time finding things on this site. I think it is lack of reading all the way through things. I'm bad at that LOL. yes he is ship 14 Div 135.
Hi Y'all :)
hi :)
I have been anxious to get a real letter. However, I do have to keep telling myself that my son is not a letter writer! He did call last Saturday morning - the call came in from a pay phone - and he sounded very upbeat. He said that the group was coming together and get bunch of people.
yes they are doing great. Alex likes his company. He is with your son..
Hi all.. Ship 14 Div 135. I received a very encouraging letter from my SR yesterday. He is a section leader and loving BC! His only complaint was the "about 100 or so shots" he received. I hope all you moms are holding up well. Time should go more quickly now!
Hi Terrib.. I recieved one too.. He said its COLD, He's tired and he's sick but hes making it and everything is fine.. Hes got some brothers from Seattle and one from OK hes buddied up with. I hope to meet those moms here
Hi AnissaH, We're from Ct, so my SR is accustomed to cold weather. I er.hope they have warm blankets on those uncomfortable racks. I guess your SR's division and mine's are brother divisions and do a lot of training together.
