hello, funny you should say that because I've been thinking the same thing. I've seen all other divisions except 085 finally I've found somebody else. Glad to meet you AdamsWifey, my son is in this division.
sooo glad im not the only one! lol
proudmama they prolly do know each other. adam is MAA, last name smith, red hair... he said his hair has grown back a little so im sure he stands out. what are your sons, daughter and brothers jobs or names?
My girl is Ship 03/Division 085. Got 3 letters this past weekend. She sounded good. Having just been in a massive snow delay in Atlanta for hours, I am hoping that Chicago has gotten all the snow over and done with. I Will be very angry if we cannot get into Chicago for PIR. I may have to borrow some dogs and get a dog sled but I am going to be there when her division walks in for PIR!!!
Let's all hope for good weather on February 18th.

We got a letter from our son yesterday :)) He said they had just had their swim qualifier and they were to do their baseline PFA the next day. He said they were all really starting to come together as a group.
Don't know if the rest of you are aware of this but the weekend our SR's PIR is a holiday weekend and according to the RTC site they will have liberty on Monday too!!! I am so excited about that!
Hello everyone,
My daughter is in this divison as well. She has called home twice and we have received 4 letters. She said in one of her letters that she is a section leader and her bunk mate was from Philly. Is your loved one from Philly? She sounded so great on the phone, full of energy and excited about all that she had going on at bootcamp. She also said the worst thing was being away from all of us. Apparently she has been thinking about it because, she started crying and said Mommy you know you and I have never been apart more than 5 days in my whole life. I know it is killing me and I have our family to get me through this, I can't image how hard it is for her. She is however very adaptable to new things and very focused when it comes to her Navy life. A real Leader!!!! I am so proud of her for doing this. I can't wait for February 18th to get here. I saw where another division is having everyone (women) wear a pink scarf to PIR so that they will recognize one another. Would you guys like to do the same thing, just a different color? Maybe RED!!! It will look great in the pics that day!! LOL!!! I am sooooo glad to see someone else from Div. 085!!!! Looking forward to the weeks ahead with you guys and encouraging each other through the rough spots!
Mamma-K (this is the nickname all the kids, mine and their friends, call me at home. If you tell your SR that, they will find my daughter, she is 5'3" dark brown hair, and the only one with the SOUTHERN ACCENT!!!!) She said they all pick on her about the accent in good fun, she loves it ~! LOL!!!
