loveofanavymilso- The 900 division does not have a brother division-at least that is my understanding.
Ethansmom- I sent you a friend request- we have SR's in the same ship and Div!
Got my letter today, Blake is Ship 9 Division 268...I'm in Tennessee for dance competition this weekend, will be making my reservations soon!!!!
ethansmom S 11 D 264 PIR 8/24/12 -- From PHX, I am flying Allegiant out of Mesa into Rockland - even with all the fees they charge(seats, food, bags, etc) it is still close to 600.00 cheaper for the 5 of us going.
Just received my letter...my son is ship 11 div 262. Now it is time to plan our trip. So far he has listed me, his dad and grandma and grandpa on the guest list for PIR. We have 3 kids going with us, but one is 13. Will my son need to take someone off the guest list and replace them with his brother?
do the 900 division have brother divisions?
Southwest is the only airline we know of that doesn't charge a change fee if you have to change your tickets. They only charge you the difference in the ticket price. They also don't charge for 2 checked bags. They run specials that you have to really watch for and you have to go to their website to get them. My daughter flew Allegiant Air when she came to FL to see us. She got a pretty good deal with them and they let her change her return flight with no fee. They just charged the difference in the ticket like Southwest does. I had never heard of them before.
ethansmom -- div 262 brother div is div 261, yours would be 263 IF they have a brother div....not all div have brother div....brother divisions train together and do battlestations together, and house in the same ship......i don't know if it means anything or not, but my son said his div was an integrated division (men and women) there are some divisions there that are all men......
