OH WOW   Thank you for this...

Hello Ladies!!    Does anyone have the link for Ship 7 Div. 033 ? or has one been set up yet?

My son's friend just left for BC on 11/08 and her family was lucky enough to get her ship/div early from her recruiter.  Thought I would lurk on that thread to show my support :-)   Our daughter graduated BC on 04/01/2011 and is stationed in Fallon, NV...  and our son graduated BC on 09/09/2011 and is at GL for his A school. 

i don't have a clue ..havent heard anything yet.  my sons recruiter said he'd know by monday where he'd be.

congrats to you with your kids... how awesome

I have not heard anything yet on Ship/Div. I hope to hear sometime this next week.

Here is the link for PIR 01/06/12 TG 07 — 09 Divisions (029–036 & 907) for you and your friends family.

My daughter left on 11/08/11 for BC.

My son left November 8th from Albany NY. Glad to meet you. I see your post is a bit old. Hope you are still here!

I am here. Glad to meet you too.

So your son would have arrived on the same day...the 9th.  wonder if our sons have met.  ya know as silly as this sounds (like he's in kindergarden again) but i wonder if he is going to have friends there.  i want him to be able to talk to someone.  my husband thinks this is the silliest worry of mine - but i just want him to be happy and lots of friends help with that.  i know that each division gets really tight with one another and i am looking forward to hearing all about his new "brothers"

I too hope my daughter is able to make some friends. It is a mommy worry. We all just want our kids safe and happy.

Hi my daughter also left on the 8th as well. Dont worry my daughter is so outgoing Im sure the 2 girls are already friends. My daughter was really looking forward to meeting and getting to know everyone in her division because they say that these people you tend to keep friends for for life.

That would be great.  I would assume they could be in the same ship/Div right?
