no, the PIR I got was 12/21 from his recruiter. Although another man who left same day as him called his mother and said his PIR is def 12/21, so Im assuming its correct. Hopefully :)

I got Ship 13 Div 034, but received that from our recruiter, so I don't have a date, a box or a letter yet. Just waiting. Guess God is teaching me patience.

Join the group, PIR 12/21/2012 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.
Divisions 035 and 036 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.
Divisions 033 and 034 are brother divisions.

Ship 04, USS Arleigh Burke, houses the 800 Divisions. It is used by recruits assigned as candidates to Naval Special Warfare operator ratings (SEALs or special operators; Navy diver; special boat operators or SWCC; and explosive ordnance). The RCU-Recruit Convalescent Unit-where sick or injured recruits go to heal and be cycled back into another TG-is also on Ship 04 as is the FIT Division. There have been a few regular divisions on Ship 4 in the last year as well.
Ship 02, USS Reuben James, houses the 900 Divisions. It contains all of the music practice rooms and instruments. Those with prior music (instrumental or vocal) or flag or drill experience may volunteer for a 900 division or the RDC may request a recruit based on aptitude and military bearing.
The remaining recruits are assigned pretty randomly, mostly as they arrive, to the divisions for the TG. Once one division is full, they start filling another, so divisions often end up with groups of recruits from only a few areas. The Recruits' ratings do not influence which division they will be placed in except for those placed in a 800's or 900's division. The recruits are assigned to the next available compartment within a Ship so sveral divisions from the same TG may be on the same Ship. Brother divisions are on the same Ship. If the divisions are integrated then the males from the two brother divisions share a comparment and the females from the two brother divisions sare a compartment.
A Division is approximately 88 recruits who live and train together. There can be as few as 55 to as many as 100 in a Division. There are 14 different "ships" (barracks), and about 12 divisions in each ship, and every one of them has a different address. (See http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp.) Ship 01, USS Pearl Harbor, is no longer used. Ship 06, USS Constitution, has been undergoing some construction and may not be in use. Ship 17, USS Mason, is seldom used. There are about 86 bunks in each compartment within a Ship.
