Welcome to the Division Discussion for divisions 105 and 106.
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!!!

thank you for all your prayers. Got to talk to my son an hour yesterday and his test came back good from the heart specialist. He is on track for EOD schooling. I can't believe we get to leave 2 weeks from tomorrow to go see him. He sounds so good.
yay and congrats...:)
My friend son PIR was 4 years ago an dthis is what she wrote me...
Careful at the Gurney Mall..... had my wallet lifted from my purse, lost all credit cards, cash and ID..... was a big hassle to get back on the plane with no id and only a police report.
Ladies, thank you for helping me through a difficult time. I'm so proud of my son and can't wait to see him at his PIR. I can't wait to meet you at sarges's meet and greet.
Great idea about scanning everything. I usually carry a crossbody purse, but you can never be too careful.
Carol, I look forward to meeting everyone too :-)
I got a letter from my son yesterday. He cautioned me about posting too much, as they taught him in a class about terrorists always monitoring things. I deleted some of my comments. We basically know who we are now. I dont wantto put my SR on the radad. He was very specific abput it.
Let me know when anyone of you has been able to download the gate pass. Only 9 days left to go!!
