Yes...Stephanie and Kyle's mom. For sure find division 900 on FB and you will find a nice little supportive group for infor and pics. My daughter is div 911 with a PIR of 1/25. They perform in the two PIRs before theirs, so my daughter had her first performance this past Friday. Cymbals in the drumline:) Do you know what your SRs are doing yet?

Ship 2 is the Rueben James ship...it is the performing division. All of the divisions are 900 divisions-that is the name of their particular training group. PIR is their graduation date...Performance in Review I think.

My Son is in AECF and the FC or ET gets determined at bootcamp....I am so new to this, but I did request to join the 900 page on FB and I am sooooooooooo proud (bet you can tell)

Fire Control or Electronic Tech....I think? LOL I know he had a contract saying AECF, and I know that has to do with electronics and computers. His personal goal is to get on the AEGIS, which is the detection system for incoming weaponry. Not like I am out in the dark, but the technical definitions and his explanations to me are different since I do not speak military...lol

yup...it is a different speak. My daughter's letters come home full of Navy speak...it is interesting to see the change in such a short amount of time, although it seems like ages. You are in the right place, and I love the FB page!

My daughter is in Div 917 too, I'm still waiting for a letter or call... Haven't heard her voice since I received the "I'm here" call on the 14th, her dad and I are missing her! We're anxiously waiting any sort of communication, eager to hear all about her journey thus far.
What do the performing divisions do exactly? -
