OMG!!!! I found the ship and the div. my son is in! My son is on ship 04 div 276. I have only received one call and one letter. He tried calling one other time and I missed it by 5 min. He said that he is carrying the sword. I had to call his recruiter to find out what that meant. I am looking up activites to do while we are there. Any suggestions.

Hello my Daughter is ship 04 div 275...No letter or phone call yet..soo hard..

Hang in there Mypeanut.......
The letters will start coming this week, start stalking the mailman around Wed/Thurs depending on what part of the country you live in.
There are all kind of reasons she may have not been able to call. Of course we always think the worst, but from what I understand the division is not working very well at this point as a team. It will take a few more weeks for them to come together as one, and start leaning on each other to just get through the day. She could have been in Medical, Dental, had watch (although I am not sure we are at that point).
Just stay positive, keep the phone handy and stalk the mailman.

There is a nice coin on e-bay. The seller's site is PIRNAVY. I actually purchased the challenge coin, ship coin and boxes for them. Prices are very reasonable.
