you are right, there are about 88 recruits in each division when they start, they usually go down to about 79 or 80 by PIR. And yoiu will have a lot more members find your group. You will get new members usually every day right up until PIR. Some divisions may only see 3 or 4 members while others will have 10 or more. Most PIR groups end up with 150 members on average which is really a very small number when you consider how many recruits are there. So many families go through all of this with no info at all. I for one, would never have survived.

I'm sure they will continue to trickle in:)))) I'm looking forward to correspondence from my SR. That will help to really get an idea on how he's doing & what he's going through.,,,,

Yeah, I've only connected with one so far. Bummer! Hopefully there will be more as people start receiving letters :)

Jajajo....that's a great question..... I was wondering the same thing. So far I've only connected with 2 moms from my SR's Ship/Div...I believe there are up to 88 SR in each division but I could be wrong.

I'm surprised there aren't more people joining in on the different division and ship discussions. How many recruits are usually in one ship and division?

quiltbyes it definietly helps other moms to locate each other when your division is added to your screename.
Alos... in my PIR group, there were several 'dads' who joined us. They all said that N4M's was a lot more informative and a lot more 'chatty' than N4D's...LOL So if hubby prefers to be on here instead of there...tell him hes not alone:)
And there was a soccermom in my group too...that is a common screenname.

Got our letter yesterday. My husband has also join N4M and has also joined N4D, he likes to watch all the videos, etc. I have a question... should I add my sons div/ship to my screen name? would that make it easier to find the specific moms/dads for that group?

Otty........No your not as confused as I was.........Apparently there is another mother in our group that is using the name soccermom so now there are 2 of us...
I guess at this point the best reference to differentiate is my picture (the orange chrysanthemum)..and the PIR date is at the end of my call name 4/01/11.. I think the other soccermom has an actual picture of herself next to her call name.
I'm still the same soccermom.....we just have 2 now.......Confused????
I noticed that this morning we had a new comer with the same name

Then I must be confused. I see the new group you started called ship 02 Division 920. I guess I assumed that was your sons ship and division. But you are ship 11 div 116?
Set me straight. I confuse easily.

We did get a letter in the mail this morning. He is Division 118 and Ship 11. He asked us to write him NOW. We are. He has several sibs at home writing. He should be buried in mail when he can get it. We also need to spend some time learning the lingo.
