Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 407 and 408

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!!!

Hi there,

The livestream is at http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc and starts at 08:45 Central Time.  They have been having problems again.  Last week's graduation they had a delay and the sound kept going in and out.  Please remember they want it to be up for you just as much as you do.  Please have patience when/if this happens :) 

I am so excited!! I can't wait for the call tomorrow!! I have my blue candles burning.

Do you think we will get a call before it is time for us to leave and drive there?

They say the calls don't start until after 2 pm.

I can hardly sleep I am so excited!

I didn't sleep well at all. Can't wait to get my son's official I'm a sailor call & get there tomorrow!!
Such a proud momma. My "Sailor girl" called.

Same here.  She said her group got freaked out by the Instructor during Battle Stations.  They were told they did really bad and that they just killed someone.  They were told to think what if that was a love one.  The Instructor then proceeded to tell them they were getting ASMO'd up to three weeks.  She said they all started bawling like babies.  Then the Instructor came back and told them she was just fooling.....LOL.  They had one of the best scores for BS!  She really did sound wiped out though.  Hopefully, they get some sleep tonight and tomorrow.  Hope to see everyone at Graduation!
