Ship 09 (John F Kennedy) Divisions 185 and 186 (Brother Divisions)

[ellen0502]

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 185 and 186

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 Proud Navy Mom...my SR Sam is from Miami...nice to meet you. What is your son doing after Boot Camp? Sam will stay in Great Lakes for A School GM (Gunners Mate) looking forward to getting to know you :)

[Proud Navy Mom]

Hi Momma jo,   My so will sty at "A" school in Great Lakes to become MM (machinist mate) .   Were you the mom I saw at MEPS on Wed. 3-13-2013 with your husband and other son?   I have pictures on my phone of the MIAMI boys. Which one is SAM?  FDo you remember what he wore to Bootcamp?  Maybe we can meet for coffee or lunch or just to talk.    Take care

[Momma Jo]

No, we didn't go to MEPS on the 13th...my husband was with him when he was sworn in back in September of last year....he was delayed until March. He was wearing jeans, his Navy PT shirt, and a maroon hoodie...he's pretty tall about 6'2"...I would love to get to know more about you and your family and of course your SR. Sam called on Saturday also and spoke for about 20 minutes. Said he really liked the guys in his division. I will personally message you and we can talk about meeting up for my favorite beverage 'coffee' :)

[Proud Navy Mom]

Great, Looking forward to it.  Give SAM by best reguards.  Talk to you soon  :-)

good morning everyone.  My son is in Div 185.. This is the first time I have been away from him and this site has been a great comfort. As my son makes new friends, I look forward too as well.

I can't agree with you more cassandra..such a mixture of emotions right now...mostly pride though.. feeling alot better now that I have his address and PIR date, May 10th. This is our only child, our son who is 20, so we're emptynesters now...Just trying to stay busy to keep my sanity, lol

Hi all! My husband is also Ship 11 Div 185 :-) We are newlyweds and this is the first large length of time we have spent apart. Thank God for pages like this! Been a real comfort for me! Looking forward to May and meeting new friends as well! GO NAVY!!

Hello everyone! I am a newlywed with a SR in Ship 11 DIV 186. I am so glad I found this site because it has answered many questions that I have had since my husband left for RTC. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and even more so to May the 10th! We have a baby boy due mid July so I am glad he will be out of RTC in time for that. With so much going on within the next few months it is needless to say I feel a bit overwhelmed but I am holding strong and am glad to have somewhere to turn for support and advice.

[Michelle Ship 9 Division 186]

Hello everyone,

 

My son is in Div 186. He left for RTC on the 18th, we got his box on the 22nd and received his letter on the 25th.

The family misses him so much but we are supportive of him. He is really excited to be in the Navy going through bootcamp, what a challenge. His cousin is also in the Navy assigned to a Sub.

 

The family mailed a letter to him recently and I can't wait to get a real letter from him to see how everything is going.

Hello all... our oldest son is also ship 11 Div 186 --- He actually called yesterday, basically asking for phone numbers/ addresses for 3 personal references, contact info. for people that could account for his time in college and the last two places he has lived. He said basically for security clearance. Since it was sort of a scripted/ all business type phone call from him, I didn't ask much but did ask him, 'can you answer yes or no, are you okay, is everything going well'? He said, yes, it's going well, very well'!!!! Plus he sounded great. I cannot even explain the relief I felt when I heard those words. He also said he should be able to call again on Saturday.

[Michelle Ship 9 Division 186]

My son is in this same ship/div.

Wow, that's great you heard from him. He must be in a rate that requires extra security information. What is his rate? My son is Air PACT basically undesignated. I hope he is able to call Saturday.
