Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 369 and 370
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!!!

There can be lots of things that cause the mail to not get to your SR, remember recruits are handling the mail and it is possible it was sorted to the wrong place. By the time you got his letter he probably received a pile of mail. :)
Oh I didn't realize that other recruits handle the mail. Maybe something did get mixed up at some point. I'm happy to know it's not something that I was doing wrong. Hopefully he will have gotten them by now. <3
Are any of your SR's heading to nuke school after PIR?
I have not gotten a phone call since Tuesday, August 27th. I have gotten letters and the last one I got was Thursday last week. My son was placed in light duty for 4 days due to shin splints and knee pain problems. He had not passed his running test yet. I'm hopeing he already passed it by now. Hope we hear from them soon.
Has anyone gotten letters from their SR. Any new news? I am very nervous, can't wait till I get my mail tomorrow.
I get mine tomorrow... I can't wait.... When I talked to my husband on Saturday he sounded terrible so I'm praying for the letter to be a bit more upbeat.
Getting so close now! I'm in and out of the woods until Friday morning so I'm REALLY hoping that I don't get unlucky and miss the "I'm a Sailor!" call.
Hi Cathy, we are not allowed to post BS21 dates but I can private message you with the information I have if you still need it.
Hoshizora, You should be "safe" on not missing a phone call until the beginning of next week. :)
