The recruits in this division are often here because of high ASVAB scores. They (The Navy) know that recruits with high scores won't need as much time to study and can better handle the extra work and practice that comes with being in a performing division. Many of them also have marching, drill, choir, flag corp, or band experience. It is an honor to be a part of this group known as the Triple threat :-)

The high score makes sense. My son did well on his ASVAB. Ok, so that's one less mystery...thanks.

Only a month to go. Then we see our4 loved ones. My son left may 15 and everything I have heard is awesome. He says he is doing so well and loving life. Makes me proud. We all should be.

Quick question. My son seems to think that we won't see him during his PIR. He says his duties are "behind the scenes". Will they get a break from their duties to participate in the actual ceremonies?

Hello, I just joined with only 9 days left until graduation. We are from Temecula, CA. My son called me today and said that if the recruit is in the Honor Guard and has any females attending his graduation that they must ware purple colored clothing. Has anyone heard of this? My son is in ship 02 Div 935.
