I got 2 more letters yesterday! They were shorter than the others, but they sounded the most upbeat out of all of the letters! It was great to here from him. We are actually looking into me moving with him to IL for his A School and C School. Both are in IL and his A School is 19 weeks and C School is 13 weeks, so it would be great to move with him. I don't know if I could handle another 9 months!

Sailorswife.....glad you heard from your SR. Would you be moving onto the base? If not I can check on some apartments for you in that area.

I hope to be moving on base, but I heard that usually there is a long waiting list for that. That would be awesome if you knew of any apartments in the area! Or houses for rent! Our son loves being outside and at an apartment you don't get that freedom as much! I have no idea about any good neighborhoods, or any bad ones to stay away from, so any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Got another letter yesterday which was a real suprise. I was under the understanding that they only mailed their letters out only on Sundays, but could write Tues, Thur and Sundays. It was a very upbeat letter. He is happy for his new rate and will be doing A and C school in Pensacola. When he is done with C school he will be on a ship.
He said that their division will be doing graduation for PIR group 2/4/11. He is looking forward to doing that. I guess they got a SR back that was sent ASMO for fraternization. The division wasn't too happy about it and they didn't give him a warm welcome. He said that the divison is finally getting things done and doing teamwork and listening. They are worried this SR will set them back. They will take care of him though. They start live fire on Tuesday and alot of the SR are real excited. He also found out that with his job he gets automatic advancement to E4.

himmiemom: I hope that by now, your SRs division has accepted the asmoed recruit put in their group. I say that because...when my son was there last yr, he was asmoed for a week and then put with another division. There were 5 put in this division at the same time and he said they didn't receive a warm welcome, but eventually were accepted. I'm sorry that the existing divisions look at these recruits as "bad" because they aren't. Some may have made mistakes, but they aren't bad. My son was asmoed for not reporting that another recruit in his division had fraternized with a woman...something he didn't see, but the guy showed him where she wrote her phone number down. He got in major trouble for not turning the guy in...asmoed. So see...I hope that these SRs know that these "new" SRs can actually be an asset to them. I remember asking my son if he had been an asset or detriment to his new division...he immediately said "an asset for sure." He left there with many friends and still keeps in touch with them!

I'm a little late to the party here, but my son is in this division too.
I got a letter from him today saying that he'd applied for a 2 year hitch on the Constitution. He sounded excited, and it looks cool, but I'm wondering how this affects A-School. He said he'd leave right after Boot Camp if he got it.

Hello all you wonderful families/friends of Ship 02, DIV 912! I am a mom whose daughter is aboard Ship 02, Division 911... our division is graduating Feb 4th and I can't wait!!!
Well, I wanted to contact you to let you know I have experienced first hand the countdown to PIR and waiting/wishing for another phone call before BattleStations, or hoping to catch a glimpse of my daughter in one of the pictures of PIRs before ours! As the 900 divisions are the performing divisions, there is a possibility that your SR will perform at the PIRs one and two weeks prior to their own PIR!
One of the moms with a SAILOR in this past Friday's graduating class had snapped some extra pictures and sent them to us via email, in the hopes we may catch a peek at our SRs performing for that PIR. I would like to "Pay it Forward" by doing the same for you all, if at all possible. ;o) Now, here's a silly question ... anyone interested?! LOL

This week's Photo of the Week is of recruits posing for their division photo. About midway through training, recruits will don their dress uniforms to have their division photo taken together with their RDCs (Recruit Division Commanders). Recruits may purchase their division photo as part of their photo package that they have the opportunity to order during boot camp. If after graduation you would like to order additional photos, you may call the Navy Exchange photo lab directly at 847-578-6205.
