Ship 09 Div 199
Hi there, I received my form letter in the mail yesterday and I was super excited to see my son's handwriting. His ship is 09 division 199 with a graduation date of 6/29. I can't wait. Anyone else?

Does anyone know exactly what div 199 is? I'm just wondering why there aren't many that have joined for this division? Not many people at all..

I have been trying my hardest to find the answer to the question... the nearest I can tell is that they are just in a DIV with people who are a little older. There is one girl on FB who's BF is 21, Tim is 30 and if I am correct you said your son is in his 20's... I just don't know though...

Hi! Has anyone from our division received a personal letter in the mail yet? I'm hearing that others are starting to receive letters and I'm getting very anxious! I can't wait to get home and check the mailbox. I just want to hear from my boy. A phone call would be even better :)
