Trevizofam can I ask you what airline you booked your flights on are you going out of LA or SF. My daughter has to call her future mom in law to see if she is going she's too young to rent a car.once she gets there.Since we think he'l have to lv the next day for A school out of state. Not sure if she'll be going or wait until A school Grad.
TG (Training Groups) always start with an odd number for the Regular Divisions...and then the brother Divisions go along in pairs up until the last even number.
All Divisions go along consecutively throughout the Fiscal Year (Oct1 - Oct1) starting with 001.
The first SPECOP Division of the year is 801 and the first Performing Division is 901.
There is usually only one Performing Division per PIR group and it coincides with the TG number. Ex: Your TG is 41 and your Performing Division will be 941. You are the 41st TG to go through RTC in this Fiscal Year. The only time there is more than one Performing Division is when RTC has skipped a week of starting PIR groups...they then double up (and in the case of this FY they had one PIR group with three 900 Div!). When they do have more than one then the 900's are brother Divisions. Other wise they go through BS21 along with a group of Brother Div (up to four Div may go though BS21 at one time...the capacity for the USS Trayer).
There an be one or more SPECOP Div in a PIR group...they function the same way as the 900 as far as brother Div and BS21.
dsw93 - Yes...your Brother Division is 262. Thank you for asking and thank you for creating the Discussion!
If you like you may add 262 to the Title for your Discussion. Brother Divisions are on the same training days and go through BS21 (Battlestations) together
FLTW: I added a discussion for my SR. Do you know if they have "brother" divisions? Thanks in advance!
Hello!
Folks, please go ahead and start your Division Discussions!
How to add a Discussion - Go to the bottom left corner of the Discussion Forum area (It's actually just above the comment box here.) and click "Add a Discussion".
Fill in the Title and any description you like.
For DIV discussion Titles a suggestion would be:
SHIP ##/ DIV ###
Simple as that! Then the other members from your div can reply and you can connect up even closer there.
Please, only one discussion per Division, Thanks!
Remember that you are ALL part of this TG though and to stay on the main pages to talk here too! Plus, we veteran moms mostly stay on the main pages of the groups. There are 7-8 PIR groups running at one time and so we do not get to the DF's as much. We do check them as often as we can...OPSEC rules apply there also.
