OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Does RTC ever add Div to the graduation schedule after the original postings?
Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 2, 2011 at 5:12pm
Those reporting a 904 division...we'll have to wait for the form letter. I'll also watch the RTC site for any changes. If your form letter states 904...then we'll call RTC Personal Affairs Office, k?
Hang in there ladies!
Comment by tashmagosh on November 2, 2011 at 3:49pm
Didn't get the form letter again today, so I went and talked to the recruiter and he told me that she was in div 904, but they don't have a 904 in the grad dates. On dec 2nd PIR they have 903 and for Dec 16th they have 905 and for 12/29 they have 906. I'm thinking they must have put in a number wrong in the system and she's in 905.  Does this ever happen, skipping a div number?
Comment by CeliaSews on November 2, 2011 at 3:33pm
I got a call today from my SR.  He only left Oct 24, so I got really nervous when I saw that area code.  Turns out he needed some info for his security clearance faxed in.  What a relief to hear his voice. He sounded good.  Said he's holding up and doing okay.  Whew!!

Lala, Wow, what an exciting day for your son.  

Good Morning ladies!  Nice crisp, fall day here in MD.  

Comment by diannep on November 2, 2011 at 11:30am
Lala is subbing today so will be back on after school.  Please check our her page for pictures of her beautiful PIR ribbons!

Angela - Here is the post!

History of the Ships Names at RTC

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 2, 2011 at 10:43am
New2Navy - yup...they now have to print Navy style.
Click in LaLa's profile picture or username and it will take you to her page so you can see more of her ribbons and her info. She will post info here too I'm sure!
Some PIR groups like to coordinate, find a scarf or shirts and wear them to PIR so they can find each other.
Comment by New2Navy(Class 1205) on November 2, 2011 at 9:26am
Good Morning Everyone!! Hope more letters come today, it is such a great relief to get them and my SR wrote a quick note on the back!  Even his had writting is changing!!   Lala - Did I read somewhere you make ribbons for the different PIR groups or if your part of N4M you wear a red scarf at PIR... I can't find that anywhere and thought I read that from a while back... Feel free to tell me I am crazy, I still don't sleep good with my SR gone!!!
Comment by Jajajo on November 2, 2011 at 7:42am
Lala- that would be a sight to see! :) and yes DianneP hoping for the form letter today. Got a snowstorm in Colorado so hopefully the mailman can make his deliveries. Fingers crossed :)
