DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 267 and 268

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!!!

You're welcome Saratoga!

This is my favorite ship since it is the one that housed my son while in BC. :)

Oh, nice!  I loved that Craig posted that information on the Triton a couple of days ago.  It was very informative.

Hi all my son is also ship 12 div 267 - I'm from Massachusetts - anyone else from the east coast ? This site is a life saver - I'm so happy that we have each other!!!

I'm from Idaho.  Where will your son be heading to A school at?  My son will be in Groton, CT after BC.  It's great hearing from others moms.  Any letters from your son yet?

What ship and div is he mammabear

SHIP 12 DIV 267

Me too, Proud Mom:)  Our boys are training together:)

Ok great! I believe they are brother divisions and not sure what that means- can anyone explain that? Ship 12 div 267/268 with my son in 268! Can anyone explain this? No letters yet!!

Deanna, There is some info on this topic somewhere on the site.  I will see if I can find it again.  I think mostly, they train together... but let me see if I can find it:)

Regular numbered Divisions go in Consecutive order starting with 001 at the beginning of the Military Fiscal Year (Oct 1). Regular Divisions are paired up in "Brother" divisions. They will train together and go through Battlestations together.  Maybe there is more smewhere else, but I found this under Ships/Divisions:)

From what I see here, none of us have received a letter yet.  I'm sure there a few factors involved, but I read on this site, that one reason is that they have to train someone, from the TG to do the mail, so to speak:)

Great info mamabear- didnt know about possible phone call already again this w/e! I hope that applies for div 268 as well! It was good to hear his voice last sat! So is dive 267/267 brother divisions- does anyone know what all that means besides being in same ship 12
