Hi all,
Good Afternoon!
I have been hoping to find another Mom or Dad in the same division with my daughter and it seems like no one else is with her :(. Of course I know there are many other kids in this division, but so far no one on the boards yet....If you child is in the same division, please let me know :)
Thanks!

I just sent Jordan several letters with a questionnaire in each so it will make it easy to write back! I hope he's met your Daughter!
Me too! I also sent Kayla a questionnaire to fill out but I don't think they will get their mail until this Sunday as it say in about 3 weeks they start getting mail....right?
Micki
Micki,
if you are on facebook there is a RTC facebook page with forums for different ship/divs. I see there is a 03/095 forum there. Those forums are nice so you can hear from others who are in the same boat! you are in.

Hi Zachsdad... I went to the RTC site and I clicked on forums on the left side of the page but it came up blank, should I be looking somewhere else?
Thanks
Micki
Nevermind...It came up....it just took a little while. Thanks for letting me know :)
My daughter left for GL Jan. 24th. her recruiter called and gave me her address said ship 003 div 095. seems like no ship 003 but 03 instead. I am still waiting for my form letter about when her PIR is but again this is also known....March 16th. Wow how am i missing all this. I feel like im in the dark. HELP
Hi Sara and welcome! My son Jordan is also on SHIP03 DIV095. Don't worry about being "In the Dark" - just look at all the discussions here and you'll see we're all in the same boat! Miki (who formed this group) also has a daughter in the same group as both of our kids. That's all I know of so far! You'll find lots of support here!
Welcome Sara!!!
We are all here to support each other. My advise right now is to send your daughter letters as you have her address and hopefully the form letter will come real soon. I am sure she has the same PIR as us b/c Kayla also got to the GL on 1/24/12. Also if you are on facebook, the RTC has a website and a forum set up for 03/095 as well. If you need anything, please let us know
Take Care
Micki

Hi Sara,
Here is the link to the RTC's facebook page on the 3/16 PIR group: (Just click this link and it will take you to the page. Micki
