DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 271 and 272

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!!!

My son is in Div 272.
Still waiting for a phone and any letters. Anyone else get any letters or phone calls?
Our girl called this morning....her mom said all was well except homesick....can't wait to see her. She is in div.272.....
We got a letter yesterday! He wrote to his big sister and her letter arrived first. She is USAF so she laughed all the way through the letter about the travails of bootcamp.
Got a call! A nice 20 minute call. He sounds great. He says it's not hard.
He'd like to be taking more showers and washing his clothes a little more often.
Loves having his name on his uniform now.
Got the phone call on Sunday! Got the letter today, finally. By the time I got the letter we had already had spoken, but it was so great to read about things he misses, music, dunkin donuts, and driving. he passed his PFA and the swimming test.
He loves his uniform. Boots are wrecking his feet, good thin I sent the moleskin. :)

His birthday is tomorrow. :( will miss him a lot. Plan to light a candle on a cupcake and sign to him.

Just wanted everyone to know I just seen my SR on U.S. Navy Recruit fb page and I am soooo happy right now, still kinda sad that I miss him so much!  Ship 12 Div 272!!!!  They posted lots of pics today of our SR's!!!

Heart is bursting! My son is in 3 photos on fb page for Recruit Training Command! Ship 12 Div 272 included in several photos, Guys and Gals! Girls right up front!
Woo hoo! Great military bearing!
He is a very alive and well looking sharp in his uniform!
I saw my baby girl in the photo's too, ship 12 div272. She was wearing glasses!
