Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 11, 2012 at 6:13pm: RELEASE the LETTERS!!! LOVE it!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 11, 2012 at 6:10pm: There will be a SPECOP Division in this PIR Div 818.

Comment by CookieGVB on July 11, 2012 at 5:38pm: Release the letters - that made me laugh. Thanks. :) Sent my first letter out last night. Haven't seen anyone yet say they were from 270 - the Brother Division to 269. Anyone?

Comment by Marine Veteran (PROUD NAVY DAD) on July 11, 2012 at 5:21pm: Hey, received my letter Ship-12 Division-272. Now I can release the letters. Lol.

Comment by AMY(CODY'S MOM) on July 11, 2012 at 5:11pm: Hi. Finally received my letter! SHIP 12- DIV 271. I hope everyone gets theirs real soon. This makes it easier knowing I can write to him and he can get ready to write home.

I wanted to add thanks for starting this group.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 11, 2012 at 3:41pm: That's great Wendy! Doubly so...because I can now figure out what this TG starts with...and it's your Division... 269. We have 268 in the 08/24/2012 PIR group.

TG's start with an odd numbered Division and end in an even one for the regular Divisions. The Divisions pair up in Borther Divisions...so 269's will be 270 and so on until we come to the last regular Division.

Performing Divisions...900's...there is usually one per TG. So they do not have a Brother Division. The exceptions have been when RTC has not had a PIR one week ( this happends a couple of times a year) and then there will be two 900 Div in the bnext TG. This year we actually had one with three!

SPECOPS...800...Divisions work the same as 900's...if only one then no Brother Div...when two or more then they are Brother Div.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 11, 2012 at 2:08pm: It sounds like this is the right group for you guys, just keep hanging out here. You should get those letters soon :-)

Comment by Jenn(RJs Mom) Ship 09 Div 273 on July 11, 2012 at 12:20pm: Oh but he left 7/3 got the scripted phone call about 7:30 that evening ......

Comment by Jenn(RJs Mom) Ship 09 Div 273 on July 11, 2012 at 12:20pm: Im not sure if this is going to be my sons PIR date , still waiting on his box and I have no idea what ship/div he is in. - this waiting and wondering is killing me !

Comment by SRB's Mom on July 11, 2012 at 12:04pm: Hi. I'm not sure of my son's PIR date, but he shipped 7/3. Still waiting for my letter. Any other sons in Ship 09, Division 275?
