It's been confirmed that 292 is moving for sure and I know of some other divisions from different ships as well, but have yet to hear anything for sure about 291. My SR didn't mention anything about it on the phone Saturday, or in his letter today so I guess we keep on like before until we hear something different. One mom of a SR who is moving said he told her to keep sending mail to the same address because it would get forwarded to him. If nothing else, at least we know that much :/

My son is in Ship 11, Div 291. He's staying in GL for A school. I've been counting the days until PIR. Noticed on the Battlestations message board that divisions go in numerically with the lowest division numbers going first. So it looks like they'll be in the third set (if you count each division and their brother division as a set) going through and that they'll most likely begin on a Thursday, but Tuesday or Wednesday is a possibility. With that said, I'm keeping my phone close by (well honestly I'm always keeping it close just in case) from July 25th on in anticipation of the "I'm a Sailor" call. From what I've read, August 1st looks like the most probable day for their Battlestation experience. Keeping our fingers crossed for all the recruits.

Ship 09, Div 291
Hey there! Anyone else have a sailor in this division? My husband graduated boot camp a few years ago, and it was great knowing a few people when we arrived at PIR. Now that my brother is graduating in a few weeks, I would love to connect with others from my his section!

My brother is doing the same. I think he's going to be a Quartermaster?

My SR is going to either be an ET or FC. Not sure which, yet.

I notice there are several people in this group who have SRs who are headed to Charleston for NNPTC after PIR. My brother is in 291 and going to A School in GL, but my husband is in the Nuke program and we spent a few months in Charleston (we're in New York for this final leg of training). Good luck to all!
