Your Division Discussions have been posted up above. Please use them to get to know each other even better on a "Divisional" basis...BUT remember that you all have the same PIR date and many of you will be attending the same Meet and Greets...so please continue to post on the Main Wall here.
Also, please continue to post your questions for us "veteran moms" on the Main Wall here. We can have 7-8 active PIR groups going at one time..that's 70-90 Divisions! We try to get to the Division Discussions but with that many it is difficult! We don't want to miss any questions as ALL are important...no dumb ones...for many of you this is your first servicemember and we want to be there to help and lend support.
Division discussions now open for business!!
POST AWAY!!

N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC apply to the Discussion Forum area as well. The Division Discussions are viewable to all...just like the Main Wall here.
Please do not start new division discussions!!!!
The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is set at ten titles at a time for now. (This can be adjusted by the group creator or an administrator)
It is also set to show the "latest activity" (there are other settings). So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. The discussion will stay up there at the top because it has had "activity"…until the next Discussion has activity. If there are over ten discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear from view…but not from the Discussion Forum. So, if you want to see more, click "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.
When you view a discussion forum by clicking on the title, the first post ever made will be the first one on the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.
~You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.

When your recruits are filling out the form letter, the RDC in processing are "yelling" the information to them. Doesn't help with the remembering or getting it right, so mistake happen. LOL
All mail headed to the Naval Station in GL has the zip code 60088, and arrives at GL to a main sorting center (it is a US post office) there on base. On base it is sorted down to all the different areas at the entire Naval Station, including the military housing. The last four digits of the zip code are just an additional "sorting helper" (even in the real world LOL).
Don't worry about the 4 digits at the end of the zip code too much, just go by what the link says if you have conflicting numbers, and don't know what to use.
If the address says (example) SR Smith, Claude P, Ship # Div xxx, **** Ohio ST, 60088, it will find it's way I promise.

MidwestNancyMom: My guess is that you will be getting at least a few letters! With other forms of communication cut off, it is amazing how many decide to write. My son told me before he left for Bootcamp back in 2009 that he would not be writing to me, but would call when he could. He wrote 5 letters....begging me to write more and more....saying they live for mail! So....watch that mailbox!

Your division numbers for this PIR group have been posted at the top of this page. 7 divisions is considered a relatively small PIR group, so there will be more space in the PIR Hall!

Shannon - in my form letter my SR put the 4 digit code after the zipcode and it was the same 4 numbers as the street address. Not sure what the extra 4 digits are but I see them sometimes on personal mail I get at home.
