Welcome to the Division Discussion for divisions 089 and 090.
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!!!

my husband is ship 12 div 89 and i recieved 6 letters from him today! im sure some are on the way to you as well. it has really helped me with the letters, i was feeling very out of touch lately after the call last week, and these letters brought me back up to speed on his journey. hang in there im sure your mailbox will have something soon!
Craig, do you have a link to the coin for Ship 12? I tried to search it but not there yet maybe? I am interested. Have my own coin collection so my son knows what it is about and he would LOVE this!
Thanks for sticking with the DEP site and for the info, especially for the photo of the Triton....I wondered about what it looked like.
Oh wow kenna1024. Reading this broke my heart. It only takes a couple of days for me to receive my letters from my daughter, although I only just got the first ones yesterday. My understanding is that mail goes out only on Sunday and my daughter missed the 1st one. My daughter is in div 090 and I don't know how close she is to your daughter, but if you don't mind, I would like to write her via my daughter and let her know that you love and miss her and that she has many other parents praying for them all.

This broke my heart, but it also made me proud of all the girls that they came together to help one another out. It's amazing how a small gesture has a big impact and how she will never forget the moment of finding that card. (typing thru my tears!) I wish I could give you and your daughter a hug - we're all in this together

Hello everyone! I am finally joining your group after reading and learning from all your posts. What a journey we are on! Booked our flights this week and will be staying at the Navy Lodge! We received a lengthy letter this week that really filled us in on his day to day routine. Some highlights were having his wisdom teeth removed and being last to eat at each meal because he is so tall. Looking forward to sharing more with you all as we count down the days- 34!
For those that asked about the Triton boot camp coin. Just go to www.pirgifts.com or you can go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/pirgifts/m.html
Thank you so much for posting this information. It allowed me to immediately find one, which will be something else I have to look forward to! Love reading all the information from you all about your SR. My daughter is in 090 and like everyone else is struggling with sniffles and snot (euwwwww...as she wrote). This is my first post, and my first time on this group. I'm playing catch up. It helps so much.
