Dukes2013- you need to go to the Recruit Training Command home page. It's bootcamp.navy.mil. They have a link to watch PIR streaming http://navylive.dodlive.mil/
Is anyone staying at the Courtyard on Northpoint in Waukegan? The hotel will decorate your hotel door on graduation day with his name, balloons, etc. There is also a welcome tray inside the room for him.
Anyone else have someone in Ship 02 DIV 947? I received my son's form letter yesterday but BUMMED no personal letter! I saw on another board that some families received calls this weekend from recruits from divisions graduating on 10/3 like mine. Has anyone received a personal call yet? Keeping my phone with me at all times today just in case!
Hi Tonya C, My grand daughter is on Ship 02 Div 947 also and my daughter got her form letter Friday. No personal letters yet nor calls. We are all sitting on pins and needles and don't care who she calls as long as we all know she's good. Best to you and your family, and your son.
Hi Mjjjkc. Glad to hear from someone in my son's division! We are so looking forward to his call! I see lots of people got calls yesterday. Maybe today will be our lucky day!
Hi Tonya, Thank you so much. When I went to join the group, there wasn't anything there but it's a closed group. Can you invite me in from it? We hope you hear from your son and we are anxious today, hoping to hear from our loved girl too. Here's to hoping for a lucky day for all!!!!!
Hi I posted this on Facebook today and wanted to share it here as well,
Attention Division 945 Families:
I just found out our boys don't get to have a blood drive due to the extra drills the have, my thought is, just cause they can't, don't mean we can't! I have issued a challenge to my family and friends to find a drive and donate in Thierry honor! I now extend this challenge to you all!! Make it fun! Make posters with your sr's name and their division and take pic, then you can post them on the Armed Services Blood Program, Great Lakes, il. Let's show our pride in both our sr's and their Division!!
Hello everyone. I'm very new at this so please be patient. My daughter is in Division 947 with a PIR date of 10/03/14. I have received her box, graduation form letter and one phone call and one letter from her. I'm not really sure exactly what the 900 division is about. If some one could enlighten me I would really appreciate your help.
My daughter was in the 900 division when she graduated from boot camp. They are the performing division during her PIR. In her case she was one of the 50 states flag bearers.
The others were musicians and singers.They do extra practices for their performance for the PIR.
The cool thing is you might be able to catch a glimpse of her in graduation photos or by watching the live stream. :) I CAN'T WAIT to see mine. In my boyfriend's division, he said they would play in graduation about week 5, so I don't know if that's the same for yours. Might be worth asking if you get a phone call or in a letter.
Honesty, Ambermc I don't think this is for me. Every group I have joined and asked questions, I get no response. I think I should just bow out of this, it makes me feel nonexistent. I've got a lot on my plate right now and maybe I just don't have the time to devote to this. I work full time, my husband is recovering from open heart surgery, I'm trying to keep our business going and I'm suffering from empty nest. I just wanted to thank you for your kindness.
It's so emotional. 2 weeks down already. I can't wait to get letter or call. Maybe our SR's are friends? Mine will watch over yours. She is very strong and brave.
I can't wait to get a letter or call either. I received the form letter yesterday, and she put a little heart next to my name. It really made my day. My SR is such a dedicated, motivated, and smart girl! I'm sure it's completely possible that they are friends.
I would be so thrilled to get a letter by the end of this week! I read somewhere that eventually a rough draft of the division's day to day routine would be posted somewhere. I hope I see it when it does, so I can estimate when I'll be expecting calls!
Son Josh is in Ship 02/949, saw a few others had SRs in that division. I also joined the PIR group. Haven't gotten a letter or call yet, his mom got the form letter the other day. Hope to hear from other 949 folks.
