Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 812 and 813
Be very aware when posting about your SRs who are in this division. Make sure you read the OPSEC rules (everyone should).
sjtina, cor and a couple more ladies will be joining you to answer your questions about this "800" division. Although your SR is still in BC, what they are doing may be slightly different from what the other divisions in this training group are doing. It is also recommended that you go into your "settings" (clickable link on the right side) and change your privacy setting to "private" and change everything to friends only.
Please still use the main wall to post general questions, and concerns, such as meet and greet questions etc. Specific questions regarding the 800 division should be posted here.
We “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups as often as we would like to, and the ladies helping out with the 800 divisions don't always get to the main wall as often as they 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 ladies!!!

Thank YOU!
Walked to the mailbox and nearly strangled our little house dog! There were two letters in the mailbox from our SR. I couldn't wait to share with the family, and little dog really "had to go" I didn't notice that as I was rushing back down the driveway (reading the letter as I went), I was dragging her behind me, in the squat position until someone said something. One letter was addressed to the family and one was addressed for "Eyes Only" to dear dad! He's not home yet and the rest of us are anxious to know what is inside!
From the sounds the letter I did get to read the group is starting to "mesh, making bc bearable."
According to Google, this means he is in charge on PIR day. It names some specific duties he'll be required to do.
Congrats!! to NavyWife527
I guess our men our becoming like family to each other!! I hope to meet some of you in person on June 7th! I am making a poster for my sr, then taking a picture of it and sending the picture so he can find us easy on that busy day! I'll change my profile to the picture of the poster when I a finished with it.
Good night all!
teeny is right. If possible try to meet each other at the Meet and Greet or PIR, you will have some something in common for quite some time.
So, it's a good idea to have a sign if you want to find your SR? How difficult will it be without one?
They are directly in front of you so you have plenty of time to try and find him. My husband found him first. I have to admit its not easy since they all look alike and walk close together. I also took binoculars which helped quite a bit.
Luvmyson, they eventually do get it together. Its hard at first considering different personalities and such. Glad to here they finally came together.
