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 359 and 360

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.

I got a letter from my son who said he was in battle stations and won,t be able to call till before graduation.

Tomorrow is our letter day, but I'm guessing with the holiday, we probably won't get it until Friday. Is your son in Div 360?

359
He is just to the right of the tallest guy in the back row of the. Picture above

Congrats.... Nice picture.  Looks like a great group of kids.. Of course, I think they all do considering the decision they made to enlist in the Navy...Wish they would post a pic of 360...Would love just a quick glimpse of him...LOL

Yea, this is the first one I saw Thank you Ellen
Anybody heard from an SR in 360. I am.wondering how the division is doing.
Good morning Moms. Looking to see if anyone has heard anything from their SR on Ship 12 Div 360. Been pretty quiet lately.

OK, getting a little anxious..... Has anyone heard anything from Ship 12 Div 360.??????

I'm looking for Tanner's Mom or Dad.  He is friends with my son, Dylan.  (Ship 12 Div 359) Dylan mentioned him in some of his last letters.  I would sure love to touch base with you if your son is Tanner.  Blessings to all!

Sandy

Any other moms or dads receive their "I'm a sailor" call yet?  My son is in Ship 12/Division 359, and I have not had a call from him in 4 weeks.  I thought this was the week in which the recruits go through Battle Stations...and parents get the "I'm a sailor" call.  Any information appreciated.  Thanks!

 

Hi Tinamev-

My son, Dylan, is in Ship12/Div359 also.  I have not got the call but have received letters stating that the last week is battle stations.  I keep my phone handy wherever I go so I'm not sure when the call will come.  It must be soon, I hope.  Hang in there!  God Bless you and your son.

Sandy
