Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 367 and 368
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!!!

Received a letter from my son. He'll be staying in GL for "A" school after PIR
Hi Averymom, my son will also be staying in GL for "A" school, he is in division 367 wonder if they know each other. Hope to meet you at graduation. I did get a call today finally,didn't talk long because he was trying to call everyone with his time but it was great to finally hear his voice. He did say they would get to come home for 14 days at Christmas can't wait.
Hey Kim9595! Our sons may know each other, and probably friends. LOL. My son called me Sept. 11th because it was my birthday. I missed the call!! I was so hurt!!! I had my cell phone by me all day, & the moment I walked away from my phone, he called! He called to wish me Happy Birthday. He called his girlfriend and he was upset because he didn't passed the prone float test and told her to tell us that he may not graduate on the 27th. Upsetting! I hope he does. I hope he has the 14 days off for Christmas because his birthday is Christmas!! I hope we get to meet on the 27th! It would be nice to meet everyone. Our kids are a team. I guess we all are too. :-)
