I got a call from my son as well. He is on Ship 02 Div 903. He said something about this being a special unit. Does anyone know anything about this? Also, how do I change my username?

MattsMom - during the call with my son yesterday, he also said they were the elite division (but a little ticked that not all the guys in there are taking it seriously, they already have a demerit for some talking while at Med Check). He is Ship Staff, and is thinking of trying out for Honor Guard (says there's nothing to lose but not getting it, either way still Ship Staff) He is NOT a performer, as in MU, or singer, and has no drilling experience before this. He said he was being watched by the RDCs, then asked some questions, given some commands to perform, and they told him he would be Ship Staff.
VERY PROUD of him - and HE sounds Proud of HIMSELF!!! Best feeling ever!! :o)

Thank you for the reply. I am sure that my son was chosen the same way as yours as he said that he was asked a lot of questions. BELIEVE ME.....he has no singing or musical abilities! LOL

The 903 Div is a performing division. Flagman, Choir, music performer ect. My son told me today that at 3:30 they would find out all about it, butI got my call from him at 2:30. My son said that it is a great bunch of guys in this division and that thier Petty Officer's were really cool. He is really enjoying the challenge of boot camp and he was so full of enthusiasm. I am so relieved and am still on cloud nine tonight!
