Just got home from graduation, it was great, very proud of my sailor.I want to take the opportunity to thank Sarge, for his guidedence, loved the meet and greet food was delicious, and got to meet many other families. His taxi service was great, honest fair in prices, all of the drivers were very helpful, and the knowledge of how it all works, from graduation to liberty. We are very thankful, to all the navy families I suggest to use the service and go to the meet and greet. Thank you sarge
ismenia, Thank you for the info! We are traveling up from Florida, for the May 12th PIR and plan on attending the Meet and Greet. We read about Sarge and pray blessing over his family for all their support and encouragement.
Hello Texas Shiplap! Our son is in Div. 927 also and we received 2 letters from him today. He said they may be able to make phone calls this weekend! : ) He said this coming Monday was week 4 and they had 6 major events to complete. He sounded good. : )
Southern Mom my boy does know your boy and they are becoming good friends. He said there about 9 in the same division who will be going to A School together... how cool is that ?!?
Yes, it was wonderful to talk for a short 24 minutes! He was telling me about all the responsibilities and pressures...very proud of our guys and very cool that they are becoming friends! And then on to "A" school together! It is a relief to know that he is doing well and we look forward to seeing much personal growth between now and June 2...!
Loved the 3 page letter from my girl! She's doing well, but it's pretty challenging for her. Everyone could use some good challenges in life I'm sure. She's in division 929. I'm anticipating her next phone call so I can tell her about our plans for graduation day PIR May26.
I have tried for days to post but it would never send. Hope everyone has been doing well and is starting to receive letters. I am completely ready for PIR!!! Have hotel room and plane tickets. Even reserved a car :)
I just got my daughter's form letter and she's ship 02 div 932. I'm not sure why she's in the 900 div as I thought that was music and drill and she's never done either, so this is very interesting. Looking forward to meeting others with someone in that division!
My son is in Ship 2 Div 932. He started out in Ship 6 Div 184 graduating 6/9, then got to call us (the day we received his original form letter) to tell us he had moved to Ship 2 Div 932, graduating 6/16! He apparently joined (or was volunteered to join) the choir.
I finally got a call yesterday from my daughter in div 932. She's doing great and it was wonderful to hear her voice. I hope everyone else got calls as well!
I just got done eating lunch with my son! His PIR was this morning, and now he & his wife are contentedly napping together for the first time in 2 months.
I just wanted to comment that if you don't see your Division 927 sailor at PIR, remember that there are Rail Guards posted at the upper level during the ceremony, so you might not see your son or daughter - but know that they are serving by helping to run things during the ceremony. Since my son is musically inclined & plays several instruments, I wasn't surprised to find out he was in a performing division. I did expect to see him somewhere, though - so I was wondering when he wasn't in front with everyone else.
I don't always contribute to these groups, but have found many helpful tips, so I wanted to pass something on :)
We saw our son as well, plmont0429! It's such a proud moment to see them dressed in their dress whites and functioning in a graduation! We will hopefully get to sit in the same section with you guys and all of the 930 division families and celebrate together as we watch their PIR.
Does someone know if families are seated according to their SR's division?
Southern Mom, there are signs to indicate where the divisions will be, but you choose your seat and can sit where ever you choose. See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend.
Still trying to find out when they are doing battle stations... got a letter from my son today that said he is suppose to get to call Wednesday so I am assuming battle stations will be Tuesday evening sometime. But not positive

Autumn's Mom, DIV 936 is not possible. From her ship date, I would think that DIV 932 is more likely.
