how long does it take to know if your son or daughter made it in the 900 div will i have to wait for the letter or will his recruiter know early. my SR leaves Sept 04 for GL
To find out our SRs information we waited for the info letter. We received the letter and box seperately about a week after he left. Box first. Our SR left 8/01, scheduled PIR 9/28. I can tell you that this Wednesday will be week 3 and we have yet to receive a letter or phone call but I am going to remain positive that this is the week we hear something.
Hi Everyone ! I just got my "box" yesterday but no letter, but my SR is in ship 02 and div 948, very proud of him, this may be extra work for him but he will love this ! Marching band, choir, the boy loves music, always humming or tapping on something !
My daughter is in Ship 02 Div 945 and will be performing in her own PIR on 09/21/2012 and the two prior to that. Excited to see this ceremony. Any other Moms going to GL please message me for meet and greet or mutual support. Thanks!
Aw, jennsmom...my SR graduates the week after (9/28). But maybe he'll be participating in your daughter's ceremony? He'd probably be the door guy though.... no talent! Ha ha ha! He's in Ship 02/DIV 946.
For those with PIR on 09/21/2012, I'm planning to attend a M & G at Flanagan's on Thursday night, with PIR the next morning. Waiting to find out what her detach and fly details are for A school.
When is the PIR for 947? I ask because my SR is in the group ahead of yours (946) PIR is 9/28.... we just received our first letter last Friday. That was 3 weeks in. We are now going into 4 weeks. Up until this point, it felt like eternity. Ain't gonna lie though, that first real letter is enough to get me through to the end. It was that good! The son is in good hands. :) Nevertheless, as tough as it can feel..try to think all of those good proudful thoughts. Some days won't be easy...been there, done that! And, that's okay. Hugs to all of you!
So you are a week behind us.... I'm guessing this is your week! We just received letter #2 today and are at the 1/2 way point. My son called his GF for his first call which was last week and then we all got received a letter last Friday. Mail day for them is Sunday. Stalk your postman...its week 3! LOL!
i got a letter from my son... hes in ship 02 div 948.... it was a short letter and he said he was doing ok!! that made me feel good, also said he might be calling me next week... i sure hope he does......
My son is also in ship 02 div 948 and I haven't recieved a letter or call from him yet. I've gotten the form letter but nothing else. I am really missing him like crazy, I just want to hear his voice say "hey Ma" and I'll be fine :-)
Hey Ladies :-) I haven't received a letter from my son yet either, and something just occured to me. Our SR's have extra duties on top of their regular boot camp activities. Maybe it could be that they have a little less down time to write letters than the other recruits? charlie8/14 did your son happen to mention anything like that? That they are busy with their extra stuff?
@Charlie I'm so jealous :/ I've been waiting for a letter from my boyfriend and it feels like forever!!!! I would hope I got something today also since its Thursday. Your so lucky you got a letter.. I'm so anxious I need an answer from my bf and its taking quite a while!
No Only8Weeks his letter was very short, he didnt say anything about what was going on or what they have been doing... maybe your letter will come today...
Hey moms of 948, Just to let you know, 947 has just started getting letters this week. We are PIR 10/5. You should start seriously stalking the mail carrier next Thursday. Hang in there, just a few more days!
Oceanby, thanks for the information, I was going to be on watch today for the mail man. But, others in DIV 948 has received letters with the same PIR of 10/12. So, I wonder why I haven't received any mail.
I've only had two letters since she left. PIR is 09/21/2012. I've had one phone call, not knowing if she may be calling her boyfriend instead of family. Try not to be too anxious, as she is telling me they have 16-18 hour days, with performance training in addition to their regular boot camp training. She is only 5'4" and #120 soaking wet, so for her it's a lot. She's used to doing everything on her own schedule, so this is way different for her to go through. She also says she's eating man-sized meals and has better muscle tone. She's a flag carrier too. This won't fill your void, but may give you an idea of what's going on.
My room is booked, car is reserved, now to book the plane ticket.
Saying hi to everyone!! My SR is on Ship 2 DIV 949. She twirls flags, rifles & sabres. Haven't heard from her yet other than the quickie phone call, box and form letter.
Hello all so happy to join this group. One of my girls just graduated from bootcamp now my baby girl is in ship 02 div 949 and there PIR date is 10/19/12 wow it really goes by so fast...
Ok all you 946 Moms, my SR is in 945 and has a PIR of 9/21. Of course I will be there with my soccer mom camera complete with zoom lens. No promises, but if you will let me know who to look for I will do my best to snap a sneak peek for you. I am trying to begin putting a list together so that I am not waiting until the day before to rush and try to remember. :-) I am hoping that by paying forward someone from an earlier PIR can actually snap a pic of my SR.
Got the call from my husband tonight. it was so emotional. he is in division 950. anyone know exactly what that means? and does he get any perks? haha. he told me he has scheduled calls but doesn't know when he gets to call again. he also gets to write me every night but he still doesnt get to send out the letters until sunday. hie graduation is set for 10/26/12.
My fiance is in division 950. His recruiter told me today. I did not get a call hopefully I will soon. When did your husband get to bootcamp navywifechaney??
Since I got his address from the recruiter today, I mailed out my 8 letters I had saved up.. I hope maybe I can get something from my fiance soon.
Hi StephanieRae, My son is navywifechaney11's husband. He left for boot camp on 8/28. I had to reread you post, then giggle slightly, since my daughter-in-law has also written 8 letters and mailed them all out yesterday. The old saying goes "absence makes the heart grow fonder" Isn't that so true!!
Hi Ladies. My recruiter told me that my son is on SHIP 02 Div 950. From what I understand this is a performing unit?? I received the "box" but no form letter yet :( Any info that anyone has would be great!!! ty :)
Hi copinkcuffs :) That is correct, the 900 divisions are performing divisions. My son is in 948, with a PIR date of 10/12. He is doing "State Flags" along with 49 others in his division. The other SRs in the division will do things like play instruments, do rifles, etc. They will perform at their own PIR and probably a couple PIRs before theirs. Hang in there, the form letter will come soon. Also, if you are on Facebook, look up "900 Division - Great Lakes, IL" and join that group. They have lots of pics and info!
Hey Will Man's Mom Div 945 PIR 9/21 check out this link to PIR from 9/7/12 - this is the first one that 945 was in. 9/7/12 PIR - over 200 pics!!!
My son was in 943 and a bunch of parents and loved one from 943 took pictures and posted them on the 900 Facebook Page too. Some were being posted as we were waiting for PIR to start. If you need a link to that send me a message and I will share it with you.
