Ship 02 Division 920
Anyone else have loved ones in this division? I could use some help understand what this division is about, the note on the back of the form said he is in the drill division. I know that means he preforms at his PIR and two before his, but I'm curious about what that means as far as his time in RTC and after.

Yeah I think it is a 843 area code. I am so afraid of missing a call too. I am a teacher and I keep my phone out and when somebody does call all my kids freeze and wait to see if it is him. They are on edge too. It will be so much better getting that call or a letter.

847 is the area code that they call from from what I have read. I have not received a call or letter except for the short paragraph that was on the back of my form letter. I about killed myself this morning trying to get to the phone that rang around 1:30 am and it was a wrong number. My phone never rings in the middle of the night so it freaked me out.

Hi everyone. I'd like to suggest the following for our division colors. For those who aren't sure what this is, there is an amazing lady on here who makes ribbons and scarves that we can buy and wear them at PIR representing our division. she asked me want colors have we chosen for our division. Since I haven't seen any discussion on here about this, I thought I'd bring it up. Here is my suggestion, please feel free to suggest any other combination of colors. I just want to start the discussion.
Ribbons - blue with silver letters/numbers. Lora can also put the Navy logo and US flag on it.
Scarves - Navy blue with the yellow anchor
If you'd like to see what she can do, you can find her on Facebook under Unique Memory Makers.
I hope you all have a good night and that this week brings us a call or letter from our SR.

That sounds good to me. Where do we order the ribbons and does each division have a different color? I hope we get letters or calls this week. I have seen where some of the other divisions have started receiving letters. I am so anxious to hear something from my son.

the ribbons for most of the division are Navy Blue with gold or silver letter but they have the DIV on them. The scarves are where each division chooses something different :-)
