I received another phonecall from my SR yesterday - such a great surprise! She sounded so much better & I think she's adapting well. She said I may not hear from her again until the "I'm a Sailor" call but fingers crossed for at least one more call before then. Still no first letter even tho she sent something out this past Sunday.

Thanks LALA for the info on 941. My daughter is in the flag corp :)

Good morning everyone :) Do you have a recruit in the performing division (941)?

Here is some info to help you understand what your recruit may be doing and why he/she is in the Performing division.

Performing divisions info:

There are actually three different performing divisions that rotate. One is a working group called ships staff and they work behind the scenes with VIP's and as greeters, side boys and body snatchers. Side boys for a Receiving line for the VIP's to enter through at the start of the ceremony. Body snatchers walk up and down the isles of sailors and make eye contact and even speak to the sailors to make sure they are not about to pass out. They often lock their knees because they have to stand in one spot for such a long time. If they lock their knees it can cut off the blood flow and cause them to faint. Of course the sailor behind them does their best to catch them :) Another part of the performing divisions is the flag corp and they carry and perform with the 50 state flags during the ceremony. The third part is known as The Triple Threat. The Triple Threat is made up of the band, drill team and choir and they all perform throughout the ceremony. It is so amazing how they can pull this all off in such a short time and still accomplish all that is to be done during boot camp. They are either chosen for this division or they can volunteer for it. If they have band, flagcorps, drill team, choir, or marching experience they can volunteer. They can also be handpicked or volunteer if they have high ASVAB scores. They don't expect them to need as much time to study which gives a lot more time for practice :) Once they are in the performing DIV they may be able to try out to be a part of the Triple Threat and be in the band, choir, or drill team. I hope this helps you all understand what your recruits are doing.

I am not sure about it Christina, But I would think they do have something like that when they are in A-school. Not usually if they are deployed though. I hope it's true :) 

I did ask my Sailor and she said she isn't sure and it may depend on if his classes have started yet. If he is waiting for classes to start then it would be a lot more likely.
