WELCOME TO PIR 10/12/2012

OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Sailors/Recruits are not allowed on this site. If it is in your username you will need to change your username. If yours is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends".

Comment by charlie8/14 on August 23, 2012 at 3:58am: thanks diannep. My SR took JROTC in high school and said he was gonna volunteer for drill. i did know that there was more than just the drill team.

Comment by ellen0502 on August 23, 2012 at 2:02am: Only8Weeks, you've got the right group!

Comment by Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on August 22, 2012 at 9:44pm: Finally found out my son's ship and division! His is Ship 2 Division 948. I still haven't received his box or the letter, but I got the information from the recruiter. He didn't know his PIR date, but I am assuming it is 10/12! Glad to see some of y'all have a child in the same ship and division!!

Comment by Stepmom ship2div948 on August 22, 2012 at 9:27pm: My step daughter is in ship 2 division 948. We got our 15 second phone call Wednesday night letting us know she made it there safely. Sounded like she was reading a script. We got her box yesterday also. Thanks to whoever shared what the difference is between the divisions. I had been wondering. We are looking forward to hearing from her again soon by either letter or phone to see how things are going.

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2012 at 8:48pm: Welcome to the new members here!

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2012 at 8:46pm: charlie: The 900 divisions are the performing divisions....but some are in there who don't have musical/marching talent, but will be be handling other duties at PIRs like tending to the VIPS, etc. Since they have to practice for this and still keep up with studies/training, they usually select SRs in that group who have the higher ASVAB scores, we have been told, knowing that they would be able keep up with everything.

The other special division could be an 800 division. That is the Special Operations division. They are not always in a PIR group....but lately, they have been having them. So this group could have one.

The remaining divisions are made up of SRs with all different kinds of jobs in the Navy.

Comment by charlie8/14 on August 22, 2012 at 7:47pm: That's what i was told.... is there somewhere to go to see what each division is? i was told that 948 was the sticks (flags). just wondering what some of the other div are.

Comment by ellen0502 on August 22, 2012 at 7:43pm: Charlie8/14 if you SR is in division 948 this is the group. Welcome!

Comment by charlie8/14 on August 22, 2012 at 7:40pm: haven't got my letter yet but i think this is the place i'm suppose to be.... ship 2 Div 948....
