Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 021 & 022
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. 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!!!

So jealous of all you receiving letters from your SR's. Still haven't received a personal letter from my son. :( My husband keeps reminding me, it is Cyle your son that puts everything off. That is true, but I would have thought he would at least drop a line or 2 saying that he is for sure SHIP-04. I told my husband I may race out to the mailbox every day, but I haven't started stocking the mailman as of yet. LOL
Maybe he will write you something today and you'll get it sometime this week if he didn't write last Sunday (:
Not us. I kept my phone with me on vibrate all through Church yesterday just in case he called, but no call came. I am so looking forward to his call. He didn't say much in his letter, so I have lots to ask about and learn when he calls.
DIV 022, anyone get a phonecall from their SR yet?
I haven't gotten a phone call yet. Neither has his parents. Hopefully soon!
Nope not over here
Does anyone know the facebook page for DIV 21? I've searched but can't seem to find it.
Theres no facebook page yet. I wish there was. My fiance has already written me one letter, just hoping i dont miss that phone call! He said in his letter about training with the seals, and even said that the food was really good! He is such a picky eater so thats surprising! Almost halfway through RTC :) I cant wait to see him again.
UHG! Still no letter from my son. Guess if his hand was broke I would have heard. LOL MY husband who is army keeps saying "don't worry, that's Cyle. If something was wrong you would be the first to be notified. No news is good news." I just want some news from Cyle.
My wife and I are in the same boat as you.... not a drip of information.... Hang in there. They'll send him back sooner or later!!! Our son was switched to this division after two weeks so now he's graduating later (with this group)
Hope this is your lucky week!!
