Make sure you all stop in and join the 900 Div Facebook page! Also, don't forget that your SR's will perform the 2 PIR dates befr yours, and ther ill be pictures of them on the Facebook page, usually immediately, and then on here a week later! Pay it forard when your PIR comes up, and do the same for the families with PIR dates behind yours!
Is anyone going to to the 05/03/2013 PIR? I have a stalking/photo request!! My son is carrying the Rhode Island flag and I would love to catch a glimpse of him! His PIR is 5/10 but I don't know if I can wait much longer!!
I got a call from my SR in div 930 yesterday. She sounded good; very proud of being in the 900's division. Said that they are working hard to be 'the best of the best'. I am so happy that she sounded good and was doing well.
Nice to meet you, Blakesmom - I still haven't gotten the letter! Thankfully we have a great relationship with his recruiter, otherwise I'd still be in the dark!
Does your son have previous color guard or drill team experience?
Hi Shan, actually no, he has a little musical background (not a lot) but he is very, very outgoing and gives 110% all of the time... so that may be why he landed in this division. So sorry you haven't gotten your letter yet... but just think, you will surely be smiling when you do... we have a path worn in the grass to the mailbox...lol
Earl's Mom - my SR just called and is bunking next to your son, if your SR's last name starts with an R. He REALLY likes him and they're bonding over food (we're from TX, and have been to NOLA several times with our SR for drill team competitions). :) Hope everyone's SR sounds as great as ours.
Yayyyy! Yes I got a call today from my SR as well! All smiles :) He is doing great and sounds great... Good luck to all of our SR's! Hope all of you receive good news!
if you know a recruit that needs help with calling home here is a site that will help them it's a great thing there doing they will get them free calling cards pass the word around please
Just joined the 900 Division FB page so I can see the 6/7 PIR pictures. How long does it take them to approve your friend request? So anxiious to see if my son is pictured holding the Wisconsin flag...
We heard from our son by phone yesterday! He is singing tenor in the choir. He said it was fun and they sound pretty good! I am glad he is singing, he has a good voice even though he has not had much formal choir practice. Does help that he can read music, though, thanks to his years in the high school band!
he could be doing flags. My daughter is in Division 935 and she is doing flags. There is a link on here somewhere that tells what the 800 and 900 divisions do. And it lists each individual division when they're PIR is and what their division is doing. If someone doesn't beat me to it I will post it here shortly.
There are new pictures on the RTC FB page. I see my daughter in them , so that makes at least one of the pictures of recruits doing PT division 936. Like Recruit Training Command on FB and you will be able to see them. I hope you see your SR.
I just watched the live stream of today's graduation . It is in the video library of the RTC live streaming site. If you have a graduating sailor including division 932 or someone in divisions 933 or 934 , you might see your SR performing. Spoiler Alert - if you don't want to spoil the surprise for when you get up there for graduation- don't watch, but I couldn't resist.
I will be watching on the 3rd when Division 936 performs :)
My son is in Ship 02 Div 940 from what the recruiter told me today. Anyone else?? Trying to figure out exactly what this all means and what he will be doing..Also put in a push division...
Hello ladies...just joined here...my daughter is PIR 8/9 Ship 2 DIV 939.... I just got the form letter yesterday...other moms with same PIR are getting calls...not me:-( I am loosing it) I know the DIV she is in is Triple Threat...and I know they have more practices..but really??? they should be allowed time to call hone like other SR!!! I read on here that due to extra practices and such that the 900 divisions have a lot less time for calls and writing!!!! That's WRONG!!! Im not having a good day..sorry but iI need to vent.... I miss her so much!
@Jo Ann (Bre's mom) hand in there my SR is Ship 02 Div 922 will PIR 6/28 and I had the same experience. First phone call i received was on mother's day and the about a week and half later, then non for a month and yesterday she called saying that their div won Captain's Cup. She wrote twice and that's was it.
MicheleT...that just isn't right! We ..as moms are waiting and praying for the calls and letters as much as any other mom! And the RTC knows this and needs to allow this to occur for EVERY SR! It is killing me knowing others moms are hearing the voices of their children but because my child is in 900 DIV I can not! NOT FAIR. I am beside myself!!!! Today is just an emotional day!!!
Congrats on their DIV winning Capt. Cup... :-)
Being the mom is tough. Nothing is fair, and it's not about moms. I. The not knowing is incredibly hard. We got a total of one security call and one other 10 minute call. Luckily, my kiddo is a writer and wrote ever week. Other mom's in the same division got very few letters. The lack of calls had more to do with not earning the calls rather than lack of time. She basically said her division sucked and they got a lot "punishment" for their suckiness. So just sayin', there are many reasons calls are few and far between. Sorry....I know that doesn't help the emotional roller coaster!
I just got a phone call from my SR who is in DIV 935. They got recruit heaven today. Apparently they got two Bravo Zulu's and got their National Security ribbon. Also they got high marks on their week (hell week) last week. Phone calls, junk food, tv and some computer time today! My daughter sounded very happy and very up beat. I am very happy to hear from her. This is like my 5th or 6th phone call since she has been gone. Plus tons and tons of letters every week. :D
Since I am not hearing from my SR and I have no idea why she is in 900 DIV...can anyone explain why or how she got in this DIV and if this DIV effects her naval career? She went in as EN and is in performance div...Triple Threat.... I dont understand...I know what they do in BC...my daughter has a beautiful voice but didn't join to sing...so I need all the info I can get.....does this change her status in Navy?
have you joined fb's 900 group or your daughter's PIR group. The 900 page always has good info. It could b that when she got off the bus, she was noticed for bearing...or when asked who plays an instrument or sing, she raised her hand. Simple as that. It makes no difference whatsoever to her navy career. It is more work, some enjoyit, some do not. My daughter said it was extra time, but she enjoyed the chance to do someting musical.
She will probably perform in 2 PIRs before hers....so you might get pics on fb's 900 page.
Mommahead...yes iI joined her PIR group bit have only found 3 on there in her DIV. I will try and find link for fb 900 DIV. Yes she is suppose to perform on 7/26...8/2 and hers 8/9...I will be looking hard..wish I could just give her a huge hug on those days!!!!! Lol... Breahna sings beautifully and plays 3 instruments but can't read notes...lol... she plays by ear...got kicked out of band for not reading notes.. guess I'll wait to hear from her how/why she is in triple threat...
Just to let you know, My daughter was in the 900 division when she was in BC. She is not a singer, musician or any other kind of performer but she is an excellent athlete.They put her in that division to help with the athletic part that they all must endure. She graduated in April from BC....graduation is awesome, worth the travel. Being in the 900 did not effect the outcome of what she was enlisted as, which is an AE. I only got 2 phone calls but did receive letters...not every week though. All's I can say is "Hand in there". You will be amazed on the outcome of your sailor. I never thought my daughter could be any more respectful and considerate then before she went in...I was wrong! She is very happy living in Pensacola Florida for A school. To all the mothers of SR's in BC, hang in there and know they are doing just fine. It is tough but it is not as bad as you may think. Ask me any questions...I am even more proud of my daughters dission now then the day she told me she had decided to join. I am a Proud Navy Mom!
