Good question! I believe it's separated by ship and then division. When they have enough SRs to graduate total is how PIR dates are chosen. Write lots of letters and try not to focus on your SR

My daughter is in this SHIP 07 & DIV 172 also.
She was coming down with a cold the day we left her off and it comes and goes. She assures me she is fine and
things are going well. I believe they are doing fire fighting this week and their battle stations are next week.
I downloaded my PIR parking pass today! Yea!!! Can't wait

I think my daughter has bronchitis, she was coughing terribly when she called last week. She said she is not letting it get her down though. She is actually waiting for the gas chamber, hoping it will clear out her lungs!! I am very excited to see her next week! But we only get 1 day to spend with her and then she is off to Florida. : (

My daughter called around 5pm, She is now a Sailor! Battlestations went well for her. Started at 8pm last night finished around 8 am this morning. She is very tired but sounded very excited. She is so looking forward to seeing us at her graduation. I know it will be a very emotional day. Good Luck to all the new Sailors!

I think they get put in another div---to a point.and they get so many trys. Plz correct me if I am wrong. Not sure how many trys they get. They may of move her back a few weeks so she could pass the running test. Has she written you?
What did she tell you last time you talk to her? Maybe calling public affairs there and ask where she has been moved to. And if she has a new PIR
I hope they don't put her in separations.
My daughter was in ship 7/171 she actually completed Battle Stations and had PIR on 5/13. Was told day of PIR, she was on a "med hold" something about her paperwork. she should be moving on to A school in a few days. Well 2 days later they put her in separations ;- ( Meaning she leaving the Navy. Long story, (see Ship 5 Moms)---what happen shouldn't of happen. If they were going to separate should of been done BEFORE battle stations. and BEFORE PIR. My prayers are with you and your daughter.I know the last few weeks has been rough for us---and ship 5 is NOT where you want to be. Let us know how she is doing! Take care
