Welcome to the discussion group for division 901.
Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!
Please still use the Main Wall of the PIR Group to post questions and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion area as often as we would like.
Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

I booked at us Red Roof in Deerfield or something like that, my husband gets a corp. rate, and gets free nights a lot since he stays there weekly, (he jokes and says Red Roof is his home, lol)
I'm in NE. Ohio.
Oh I swear if it was my son talking, I really will smack him upside the head at PIR, lol. I'll kill him! lol.Yea I'm thankful that we aren't that far away that we can drive it. I just hope it doesn't snow really bad that weekend, but I have 4wheel drive so one way or another I will make it here. Nothing is gonna stop me!!!

Well it could in Nov. I don't know what's common anymore, we used to get snow in Ohio in Nov, but the last couple of years we haven't and it's actually been pretty mild, to warmish.
He asked his recruiter where his A-school would be for AT and FL is the only place for it. -

Hi. I do have a question. My son is Ship 02 Div 901. I haven't heard from him yet. His name is Alex. I've read that their
Ship number and Division follow them through their Navy Career? Is this true? I know his "A" school is in Pensacola, Fl after BC. Does any of this make sense? Or is it related in any way?

Here is a prayer I found for our boys:
Father, in the coming days, I will need you, but my recruit will need You more! Let him perform him tasks with a sense of duty, not of anger or vengeance. Let his reflexes be quick and his hands steady. Let his head be clear and his eyes sharp.
Let his mind and body be strong and his spirit stronger. God, please stand by my recruit and watch his back when he cannot! Father, I love this recruit of mine! Take from ME; what he needs and give me what he does not. I will pace the nights, if it means he gets some sleep. I will deal with fatigue, if it means he will have energy. I will carry his fear, if it means it gives him courage. I will take his pain, if it means he is healthy and whole. I will take his anger, if it means he is at peace. Take my love and pride and let him feel it! Let him know that I am with him every step of the way! Please, take from me what You can; I give it willingly and with love. It is all I have besides my prayers. Above all, please help my recruit to achieve his goal of becoming…. A United States Navy Sailor! This I ask on bended knee, that which I cannot do without YOU.

Our son is also Ship 02 Div 901. His name is Dillon. We have only received the letter about graduation. We are absolutely dying to hear from him. Our whole family has sent lots of letters.
We will be driving from Tennessee. We have our room booked. Can't wait to see him. His Dad and I miss him so much but are very proud of him.
