Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 349 and 350
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!!!

Hope you get a letter today also :-)
My son is on Ship 12 Div 349, he called his girlfriend on Saturday and I happen to be with her so got to talk to him briefly. No letter though. I can't believe how close we are to another Friday! How is everyone doing?
Missing my girl and hoping to get a letter today!!!!! :-)
Counting the days. 5 weeks from tomorrow. So nice to keep in touch with all of you for encouragement. My SR tells me she will leave on the 14th for "A" School, so our visit will be brief, but we'll take what we can get. We are so proud of her.
Missing my daughter immensely. School Shopping was always one of my favorite times together and I find myself on Hollister/Aero/Dillards websites looking for things she will "need" then I realize.... she doesn't need anything.
My hubby of course likes that the $800-1000 usually spent on school stuff will stay in the bank this year LOL. Told him no way... that money is going to DISNEY with me!
Thank goodness for the FB page though. Instant connection with other 9/13 PIR families is awesome.
I think if we take a Disney trip this spring/early summer he will get to spend $$ by going to Sun & Fun (Airshow) the same trip. That way I get my Disney fix and he will get his Airshow fix. =)
We have only gotten one letter from our daughter and every other words were "I miss". Reading it a was tough, but so is she and she'll get through it. We've got to remember that this is a short period in an outstanding career choice. Right? I think the toughest part is not being able to communicate at the drop of a pin and not knowing what's going on with them from one minute to the next.
We did not get our phone call last week like many did because our SR was in medical. We were planning on camping with a group this weekend, but where we go has lousy phone service, so we have opted to stay home in case she gets to call home this weekend. I can't wait to hear her voice.
