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?

I have only received one letter so far. Has anyone gotten more than that? I wish I would hear from him a little more than that. Anyone staying at the Ramada near Great Lakes?

Anyone from 199/200 heard of a BattleStations date for them (they are brother divisions and will go together). If you have, please friend request/private message it to me. I'm keeping a schedule. We cannot post the dates on the pages here...can only private message. Thanks! I don't have any confirmed dates yet for this PIR group.
