Ship 04 (USS Arleigh Burke) Divisions 801 & 802 (Brother Divisions)
Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 801 & 802!!!
It only happens a few times a year when there are two special ops groups in one TG.
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina and a couple more ladies will be joining you to answer your questions about this "800" division. Although your SR is still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other divisions in this training group are doing. It is also recommended that you go into your "settings" (clickable link on the right side) and change your privacy setting to "private" and change everything to friends only.
Please still use the main wall to post general questions, and concerns, such as meet and greet questions etc. Specific questions regarding the 800 division should be posted here.
We “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like to, and the ladies helping out with the 800 divisions don't always get to the main wall as often as they 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 ladies!!!

I just figured everybody would want to know why they had not gotten any letters. I know that was driving me nuts

Yipee Bears! I feel like we all got a little info. :) The news isn't the greatest, but it is so nice to hear something. No letters yet, but I do feel better hearing from someone. Thanks so much for sharing! Your news took me to funny quotes on goole images so I could include some inspirational humor. Hang in there guys.

Bears Nana no worries. All the new divisions start out rough. Many different personalities and such have to learn to work together. A couple of weeks will make a huge difference as they start to work as a team. But, there will always be those few who make it harder on everyone else. Ship up or ship out.

Ok since Div. 802 is not listed on the groups that are graduating on Nov. 30th any longer does that
mean they will not be graduating then? Don't quite understand.

I think the PIR group on N4M is compiled from us moms' posts until the official schedule from RTC. That still is not up yet so I would continue to go by the form letter information.

I've been wondering too. Been watching the upcoming PIR's on the Navy website. Our week is next to be added so watching closely to see what they put on there. They added a 900 group-figured out that's a group who can play instruments.
Just hope he got my letters I sent to DIV 802!

How do we decide which Meet and Greet to go to?
Vote for Flanagans!
Vote for Sarge!
Vote for Ramada!
Maybe we could have a series of Meet and Greet debates.

I didn't get to go to the meet and greet but what they were posting when my son graduated from boot camp was Sarges is the one to go too. He had more info.

I just got signed on this w/e. Any idea why 802 is no longer listed but a 900 group is for graduation 11/30/12. My son is in 802. I'm watching the Navy site to see when they post the PIR for 11/30. Should be the next one on there.
No real letter yet :( Just the form letter!
Also, please be sure I set my privacy setting correctly! Thanks!
