Craig, 142 closed and 143 opened on 2/18/2014. So anybody arriving late on the 18th and after should be DIVS 142/143 PIR 4/18

Here is the link to check the address you have received to what the RTC has listed.

Hello my son is Ship 11 Div 142 and I was very surprised to hear he was graduating a week early.  Looks like he is in a push division.  Hope he does ok.  He got to RTC 2/18/2014 also.  No phone call other than the first 30 sec call when he got in and we have not received any personal letters yet either.  Can't wait to hear how he is doing.

Craig, my son and another SR got to RTC 2/18/2014 and made the calls at 8pm. They are both SHIP 11 DIV 141. Hope this helps in you finding your timeframe

Ellen502, I know there were quiet a few delays the week before he left with East Coasters that were due in before him coming in at the same time, states like Jersey, Conn and Va.. He has to be a push

The last two divisions for 141/142 been late Lucy's in joining the TG 22 party. :) I would not be surprised to hear that division 141/142 are push divisions. If you are told your SR is in a push, no worries, they will still get it all done.

With the information from you posts here, and the information from the posts in the next TG we can figure out where this TG stops for divisions.

Hey Arky, my SR is in ship 11 and div 142. I bet they know each other.  For some reason that makes me so happy to know.

I received my form letter this morning and my jaw dropped. He is in ship 11 Div 141. He got to GL on 2/18. I didn't think it would be this early.

Looks like the following division for this group:

135/136 Ship 14

137/168 Ship 03

139/140 Ship 09

141/142 Ship ?

922   Ship 2

The RTC has not confirmed the divisions yet, but since it appears there are 9 divisions it is a pretty safe assumption that four guests would be allowed for PIR.

I will start your division discussions sometime this evening. :)

*** Wisdom Teeth ***
Almost everyone gets their wisdom teeth taken out. It's usually on their 2-5 day of training. 

There are 4 different dental classes.

Class 1 is means you have had an exam, cleaning, X-ray within 1 year, and don't need any dental work. 

Class 2 is when you have cavities, or need a deep cleaning, or both. 

Class 3 is not deployable. This is when teeth need to be extracted, decayed, impacted wisdom teeth, root canal, crown that needs to be done, any big fillings, any serious dental work. 

Class 4 is also not deployable, and means you haven't been to the dentist in over 1 year. 

All sailors will be issued a form DD-2813 signed by the dentist saying they are deployable (class 1 or 2) or not deployable (class 3 or 4). 
(it's funny because my spell correct says deployable is suppose to be deplorable. maybe they're right  ~ha)

Remember wisdom teeth are useless teeth. Those that have erupted, or near erupting will have them pulled. Its way much better to have them pulled now than when you're on a submarine 5 miles below the ocean, in an airplane doing a covert mission, or being in a war zone fighting the enemy. Remember, in submarines, your teeth are treated differently. The pressure of going down will cause severe pain. The "small boy" ship don't have dentist, so would you want a medical corpsman to do it (heck no). Yes, they could helo you off to the aircraft carrier to have the work done, but that is really expensive. The teeth are useless, and usually mess up your other teeth, get them taken out.

It's much better just to have them pulled in boot camp when your recruits are basically useless since they have no Navy skills. As a recruit, you are way much better off getting them pulled at boot camp. 

The reason? Your private dentist may pull a few wisdom teeth throughout the year; in boot camp they pull hundred every week. They have seen every problem or concern.

Secondly, it's free. 

Thirdly, and most important, these recruits love the 2 day bed rest. They get 2 days to "recharge" their batteries, and get the much needed sleep. While all those that already had theirs taken out still are getting yelled at, and having to march, clean, and exercise. The wisdom teeth recruits are laying in bed, taking their OxyContin and have dreams of the easy life.

I work with 1000's of new recruits on my website NavyDEP.com, I have yet to hear one sailor say they wished they didn't have their wisdom teeth taken out in boot camp. In fact, they all brag how much they enjoyed the 2 day "Recruit Vacation". Yours will do the same....

Here is a interesting video…. Who would have thought 2 Medal of Honor winners….
