Ship 2 Division 952!
The recruiter gave me the wrong ship number, so sorry about that other post. I just got the form letter, and it says ship 2.
Performance division! I was thrilled to hear that my son is in this division. He plays percussion, and hopefully doing something he enjoys will be good for him.
Anyone else here with a kid in this division? Do you know what he/she will be doing at PIR?

My son Nate is Ship 2 Div 952! I have no idea what he will be doing at PIR, but my guess is holding a flag or possibly singing......This is all sooooo foreign to me! I haven't used a chat room since the early 90's!

Our son is also on ship 2 and Divsion 952, I was totally surprised by this, We asked him before he left if he would be interested in it, his response was I'm not that good to do that. He was in the muscials in high school. He loves music but isn;t sure about reading it as he usually learns by listening and harmonizing. It is good to see some other Mothers on this web site. It sure has helped me!

They get put in the 900 division if they play a musical instrument, sing, have marching experience, etc. They're the ones at PIR who either perform music or drill routines, carry flags, help at the door, etc.
I'm so glad to "meet" all of you. Cheripie, I like how you put that - "thrilled to find moms/family members who have sons sleeping in the same room with my son right now".
What are everyone's ratings? Do you know where they're going for A school? My son is NF and will be going to South Carolina.

Uh oh. Do you see something here that is against the guidelines?

Yes, I did...but I took care of it. No harm done. I made the same mistake when I first joined.

Okay. I was thinking it might be something that was still there that I didn't realize was a problem.
Thanks for your work on this stuff!

Good morning 952 moms/families!
Has anyone heard from their recruits? Is this the "third week" that people talk about, when we might get a letter or phone call? If I hear anything, I will let you know, and if I get to talk to my son, I will ask how the whole division is doing.

My SR just called. He needed some medical information. I got to talk to him for about 15 minutes. He sounded great, very calm and happy to talk to me.
I asked him how the division was doing, and he said that they're doing okay. He said it's really tough, but everyone's trying to work as a team and they're "all really tight". Half of the division was just SIQ because of wisdom teeth, but they're all coming off of that now, and they're starting to really get going on the training. He said he is just getting over "recruit crud" and he sounded a little congested, but is doing better.
The RDCs apparently want to make their division hall of famers, so they are pushing them hard. Only a handful (about 6, he said) passed the first fitness test, so they're scheduling a lot of strength training, and the RDCs were not happy about it.
That's about all I could get out of him during the short conversation. He sounded good, though. He said a letter is on the way, and he is getting the letters we send. I was so happy to talk to him. Excuse me now, while I go die of happiness. :)
