My daugher is also on ship 3 - division 085. She left on December 15th. I got the 1 minute call when she arrived but so far did not get her box or a letter. I am guessing that she will be part of PIR on February 18th or the next week. Let's keep in touch!!

Kathy Dee,
I just seen where your daughter flew out of Philly, my daughter's bunk mate is from Philly. I wonder if our daughters are bunkmates!?!?! My daughter is 5'3" , dark brown hair, and the only one with a southern accent. She says they all laugh at the way she talks! She loves it though. LOL!!

My son is in the same ship but in Div 084. I am guessing they will have the same PIR date though.

I got the box yesterday. Took everything out and washed it. So...now hoping to get a letter today or tomorrow confirming that she is Ship 3 and Division 085. That is what recruiter told us so we are hoping that is correct. We are guessing that the PIR date is February 18th.

I would think we would be PIR of February 18th. I checked the recruit command site today and looked at the graduation schedule and divisions 063-074 are listed for February 11th. So I am anticipating that my daughter's division of 085 would be February 18th. The divisions for February 18th are not listed yet, but should be up in next couple of days if they do not take break for holiday. I will not know for sure until we get that darn letter. Got the box yesterday so hoping the letter is not far behind.

I received the box yesterday, no letter in the mail as of today. Maybe tomorrow. What city did your sons/daughters fly out of? Mine flew out of Jacksonville, FL. Just wondering if we were sitting at MEPS together and did not realize it.
