Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisons 167 and 168.
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!!!

I am really mad.....was planning on driving up for PIR with our Six year old grandson because originally they said under 12 did not have to be on access list. Now I have found out they do....I will not go now....Thanks Navy....
Oh, that is too bad, but are you sure you want to miss out on the whole thing now?
backpacker(Ship12/167) Yes, this is confusing as there is still old information floating around out there. My SR thought that her sister who is a Leut-commander in the commissioned corp. could come without being on the list. However, they have posted new regulations and no longer allow this. Please don't let that keep you from attending your SRs graduation. The Navy won't miss you, but your SR will.
Did anyone find out the flag for 168?? I too would like to know so I can be zoned into that area when they're in the ceremony hall. (bringing binoculars) :)
This is what my daughter wrote in a letter I rec'd a couple weeks ago. "We are in the process of designing our flag. It will have on one side a picture drawn of our division Chief kicking a clown mask out of a recruit's hand (he calls us clowns.) the other side will have an anchor with our RDC's names and our Div# and "Honor, Courage and Commitment." I thought it strange at first, but after thinking about it, I think it means they are no longer clowns, but now are Sailors.
ok that gives me a little idea what to look out for.lol
thx
My daughter said final PTA is Friday (tomorrow). Today is wk 6 day 1...I think. that's what I've got on my calendar, from previous info.
Hello ladies! 2 more weeks left YAH! I was talking to my ex-husband yesterday about the final PT and info about battle stations, and I said how nerve raking the waiting is, and that I feel like I'm waiting for our son to be born again. So we're all "expecting" the congrats I'm a sailor call.
Yup, couldn't agree more..my son is growing up and becoming a young man can't wait, hope everyone's having a great weekend.
