Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 041 and 042
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!!!

Wow, I talked to my son on the 14th and he didn't say anything! Hope he stays healthy and I am praying for both divisons that it passes quickly!! Praying for NO quarantine!! Glad you son's cleared up up, hoping that for the rest!!
It's snowing today in Colorado - my kiddo is used to it, although he doesn't care much for it, unless it snows a lot. He likes to ski, but he's hoping to be deployed someplace nice! The snow can be a nuisance more than anything! I hear the SRs get the "pleasure" of shoveling! Lucky them! ;-)
Wow, my SR was born and raised in California and finished high school and 2 years of college in Alabama, so he isn't used to snow at all!! He definitely learning a lot in the Navy! LOL We will be moving to Colorado in January somewhere outside Denver, not sure where yet, So I better get prepared!!
Yes - definitely be prepared! We are about 25 min SE of Denver. Depending on the system we can get dumped on. This system wasn't too bad. Downtown Denver didn't get much, we got about 4 inch at my place. I've lived here almost 14 years now. I LOVE it here! I was born in Cali also, but grew up in Nebraska when my folks got divorced. It can snow as early as September and as late as June!
I was born and raised in So Cal (Riverside, San Diego is where I graduated high school)! So snow will be a new thing for me. I am looking forward to be close to slopes again!! Living here Alabama has left a real longing to go skiing again!!
I'm the first to admit - I have never been skiing. I do like to go sledding with my kids and rarely pass up an opportunity. I'm closer to the ground on a sled than skis. LOL! I have lupus and if I take much of a fall - well, lets just say - it hurts!
