Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you find this discussion helpful and fun!!

Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has gotten a phone call this week. My boyfriend's been pretty consistent. He's been rewarded with a phone call every week they've had a chance to earn one, but I haven't heard anything yet this week. I was hoping to hear from him so I could get an idea of how long it takes for my letters to get to him. I don't want to send letters that he won't get. When should I stop sending them?
I did not recieve a phone call yesterday as I had hoped. My son has been calling me on Sundays only around 5:00pm. But the call never came. His letter takes around 6 days to get to me. I write him everyday and so do other family members and friends. I have been reading other Div and they are saying to stop writing about a week from graduation. So, my last letter will probably be this coming Friday. Some say that letters will still get to them, while others say their letters never made it to them as it neared graduation. I would do what you want to do, I would think they would still get there at some point. Have you heard when Div 361 has BS21. I have not heard a "for sure" date only speculation that it will be Nov. 2
All I've heard about Battlestations was it was 2 or 3 days before graduation. I don't think he knew for sure when he wrote the letter. I was hoping to ask on Sunday. It's good to know I'm not the only one who didn't get a call. He did say in one of his letters the division earned 2 flags during their drill inspection. That's exciting, but that's about all I know right now. Grrr... I hate not knowing what's going on.
