Hi Tyrellsmom, we are from the Houston area too. On the other side of BC now. What rotation is the 900 division on right now? If your not sure, what is his division number, and I can look it up. Not all their positions have to do with music. Welcome to the fam! ;)
That's awesome! We should get together. :) I'm not far from Rayford/Sawdust area. 907 looks to be the staff of the 900's. They will help direct traffic at PIR, catch their fellow sailors if they pass out during PIR, collect the coats from the sailors, hand out PIR info as guests arrive, hold doors open, etc. We got to visit with the gentleman who was standing watch near our seats. He was a little taken aback by it, trying to talk, but stay at attention. It was cute. Are you on the FB page at all? There is a great chance you can see your recruit 2 weeks before he PIR's. What week is he in?
Yes. we're on 1960 between 45 & 59. I'd love to meet you! I have so many questions! Where is your son now? I rarely get on Facebook but I see that there must be lots of pictures and posts there so I'll have to check it out.
Just verified with recruited that my son, who left Nov seventh, is on Ship two Division nine o nine. Anyone out there get their letter yet regarding grad date? Got his box from fedex today...a lot of mixed emotions as I opened it and went through it.
Got our 2nd letter today! Son sounds great - even says that they are being told that they will get up to 10days leave after PIR. Said he will call with info.....I hope it's true but I'm not going to get my hopes up too much!
I'm do jealous hearing everyone talk about their PIR letters and grad dates. Hate to sound like a broken record, but does anyone out there have news regarding ship2 div909? My son left 11/7 and I am hoping that the holiday is the only reason we haven't received his letter yet.
White...my son is in the same 907 division! i think they are selected for this division if they have a musical or performing background. if not, in my sons instance, 907 looks to be the staff of the 900's. They will help direct traffic at PIR, catch their fellow sailors if they pass out during PIR, collect the coats from the sailors, hand out PIR info as guests arrive, hold doors open, etc. I think they are chosen for high test scores or for showing some type of leadership abilities. Where are you from?
Yes. We were gonna drive but a little afraid of the weather and road conditions at that time, so we're flying. We already booked flights, but on southwest so there are no change fees if something happens. I'll do a friend request for you so we can keep in touch. Let me know if you hear anything and I'll do the same. Praying for their safety, health, and happiness with the choices they've made. I think it's absolutely wonderful, just missing my baby and hoping he's ok!
Can anyone tell me what differences there are in the 900 Divisions? My son is in 909 and I am unsure as to what that means? Or guide me in the right direction? My son left on Nov. 7th and I just received the form letter. Still waiting for a call, hopefully soon. Thank you in advance for any information.
Hi there proudmommy! Our sons are in the same division! Glad to finally meet someone else whose loved one was chosen to participate in the graduation ceremony. I have gotten several comments as to exactly what this division does and I am still not sure exactly other than they are performing. Hopefully we will get phone calls soon and be able to ask them ourselves. Feel free to friend me so we can chat on our sailors progress.
Hi Everyone - got a call from our son yesterday - he's div904. He said they worked the Thanksgiving PIR on 11/21 and there was a mom walking around taking lots of pictures with her phone....hopefully we will see them soon on the Navy FB page. He said he is a "body snatcher" and yes he had to help 4 guys out of the graduation that were going to pass out. Also said that on Monday they start their 3-3 day. Things are going well and he sounded great! He even had enough phone time that he called his girlfriend!
My son is in Ship 2, Division 907. I'm trying to catch up and read all of the posts! Do i read this right that he is in a musical division? So, I might see him in Dec graduation pictures performing? He's a drummer so I am thrilled that he's continuing with music!
My boyfriend is on ship 2 div 909. He always amazes me so I'm not surprised to learn that this means he will be playing a part in PIR. I'm one proud girlfriend!
Just talked to my son! Doing the happy dance!!! Sounded great, things are going good, he's passed all his tests, says he's bored, lots of down time w not much to do. Didn't have to get teeth pulled, yay! They get haircuts again on Friday. Said they mailed the forms for adopt a sailor for xmas, also says he's written several letters, none have arrived yet. Says they have to be way too organized for him lol, that's my boy! Said they might get liberty the whole PiR wknd, wasn't sure yet. Asked us to mail him stamps. Food is good. If they pass all inspections, he can call again on Saturday but he said don't count on it. So...now I can breathe a little easier and get a great night sleep!
My daughter is on Ship 02 Div 909, so far I had her formal Navy letter for her graduation day on Jan. 11th. I am very excited to see her. I hope I will receive a letter from her, so far only this one and one call. That's all...
Please be advised!!! Ramada Inn is a nice hotel, things are broke and they do not fix!!! We had two broken Blow Dryers in each room. WiFi really stinks. We were two rooms away from the server and could not get on the internet for other with homework. Called front desk they rebooted and still same problem. Drink tickets that you are to receive at check in we did not receive. Restaurant is very expensive. Had Thanksgiving Dinner there. Not what we expected. Not worth 21.00 a person...Just had to let others know, I am not much of a complainer but it was really bad!!! It is so nice to hear your childs voice after PIR and they get their phones and computers. Good luck to all future 900 Divisions. PIR is worth the trip not sure if anyother branches of the service do such a great job on graduation. Would go again.
Spoke with my son, he says a few of them will be working there own graduation. He is a side boy, I think he was looking forward to marching with his class. But, he says everything is good, couple of hard heads in his div....lol. Also, got 2 letters from him, he pass his test. Doing awesome, looking forward to 12/28. I can finally relax a bit, it was very trying to sit and wait. I had a full night sleep for the first time in a month.
Just got the form letter and my son is SHIP02/DIV910, PIR 1/18. I can't find information about this other than the 900's are performing divisions. My son wouldn't know a musical instrument if he saw one, so I don't think he's in the band. Does anyone have a SR in 910 or know what they do in this div? Thanks!
My son is in Ship 02/Div 909... Still have not received any letters form him, but I have sent many! I wish I would hear something from him.. Did however get a quick call last Sunday and he sounded great! Hopefully I will get another call this Sun. as his dad was not even able to say hi that's how short the call was.. Maybe 3-4minutes tops! I can't wait for PIR in Jan to see him again! The house is lonely without him messing it all up... :-)
Hi all - looking for friends or family of an SR that is in ship02/div904 PIR 12/21. He is friends with my son. He is from New Jersey, going to be a nuke, is either 20 or 21 years old and his last name starts with a "P" and ends with a "Y". If you are them (or know them) please private message me so we can talk!
Hi, all. I'm new to this group, but I've been on N4M since my son enlisted in May. He's in Div 908, PIR 04JAN13. He's on color guard. It's good to see what's going on with other 900 divisions. We're getting letters, but no phone calls yet.
Welcome LoriK - my son is in a 904 division PIR 21Dec12. He hands out programs at the door and is a "body snatcher" (walks up & down the aisles during PIR and catches anyone before they might pass out!). They will work 2 graduations in addition to their own. There is a 900 Divisions FaceBook page where you can go and hopefully see pictures of your SR working other PIR's. We were lucky to find 4 pics of our son at the 11/21 PIR. Haven't found any of him at the 11/30 PIR but still looking! Hopefully you may start getting phone calls soon. We've been lucky and received calls on the last 2 Saturdays....but remember "no news is good news!".
Thank you, B'snukemom: We got a call tonight! It was almost 50 minutes. And it was good news - he sounded great. He said DIV 908 would be performing at PIR 12/28/2012, then they graduate the next week. I wish it were 12/14 or 12/21; I'm anxious to see his face in photos. I found the Div 900 fb page.
Wendy Brown - My son shipped to RTC on 11/6. We live in No. FL & received the first letter on 11/23 (would probably have been delivered on 11/23) and the first real call on 12/4. His Div was in Processing until 11/19. Then the letters started coming fairly regularly, to us and his friends. Yes, no news is good news. It won't be long.
