Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 055 and 056
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!

To all My son called yesterday and said they were getting their dress blues soon and having their pictures made this week. He also mentioned marlinspike...I think I am spelling it correctly. That is when they practice untying (sp) the ship from the dock. If I am correct this will be week 3 for them. Hope this is helpful!
Did Any One Get A Call From 11 56 this weekend No Call Yet OMG Going Alittle stir crazy!!!!!!
I didnt get a call either :( Maybe those who didnt get a call this weekend will get one today!
Nice surprise today, my son got to use the phone for 1 hr! Nice surprise for my husband as he got the call, talked to him for 25 min. He said everything is good but he sounds terrible as he has a horrible cold.
anyone get calls today??? I didn't but hoping to get 1 tomorrow. haven't had a letter in 2 weeks. It is so much easier when I get a letter or a call I hope we all get 1 soon
No call for me either. Son in Div 055. Did receive letter on Thursday. That seems to be my day for letters if he writes on Sunday. Sunday is the only day they get to write. At least that is what I have heard from other moms. Hope we do get calls today but not banking on it since they got to call last weekend. No news is good news at times! but it doesn't make it any easier for us loved ones!
Mom2Bella, ditto here no phone calls :( Didn't even get a letter this week. But your right , no news is good news. Also I think this is a busy time for them getting ready for Marlinspike. But like you still hoping maybe today:)
Anyone get a phone call or letter recently? I think they are in hell week this week so very busy!
Hi Mom2Bella......I got a letter today and was lucky enough to get a call late Saturday night as my son answered some questions correctly. I think I was just a lucky mom.
We are driving up there for Christmas to spend time with him and his barrack mate.....Next Wednesday can't come soon enough!
