Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 325 and 326
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!!!

Hi, glad to see someone else in the same division as my son! Nancytysmom is also in the same division. I just signed up for Sarge's MeetandGreet. Hope to see you there.
Hey napstersmom, son is same division. I see that you signed up for the meet and greet. How do I do that? Would like to go. Have ticket, rental car already. I have not booked the hotel yet. I need to get that done this week. Thanks for any info
My son is too! He also signed up a year ago. His original address changed, but his division is still the same. I have sent quite a few letters, but I know that he isn't much of a letter writer. I'm afraid that I will miss any calls. We live in the Quad City area (Davenport, IA/Rock Island, IL) area so we are planning on going to the PIR.
Yes my son is in Ship 12 DIV 325 - can't wait for PIR
My son is at Ship 12 Div 326! I've sent him mail, but can't wait to see him on 8-30. Wish I knew how he was doing. I'm new to all this, but the chat is very informative already!
Thanks, Nancytysmom! Yes, waiting is tough, and when I wake up every morning, I think of him and wonder how he's coping. Is he excelling? I'm hoping for a letter, any news at all, before the 30th, LOL Stealth div seems a good moniker for 326. I hope to get a flight to Chicago that allows me time to go to the meet-and-greet on the 29th.
my sr Ship 12 div 325, I miss him so much, I've not found a way to make it to PIR. And I am so upset. I miss that young man so much. I hope he has meet alot of great new team members in his group. I think his dad is going to get to go, but I can't find away.
My heart truly aches for you! We are so very lucky we are only a little over 3 hours away. I know that it isn't the same, but you CAN watch it live stream and then there is the DVD. MY SR also has A school in GL. I know some are flying in, to only be with their SR for a few hours before they have to fly to A school.
