Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 059 and 060
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!!!

My son is in this division. He sounds great. He is very outgoing, makes friends easily. Has made a good friend from Florida, hope to meet the young man at graduation.
Saludos. Mi hijo esta en esta división. Emocionada por verlo ese gran día en su graduación. Es un chico muy sociable.
My daughter is in this Division. She's struggling right now so we're encouraging her a lot!
My son also is in this division. I believe he is finally adjusting. I am very emotional today. Happy tears, missing him.
I told my son about this website, and he told me to try to communicate with certain families...don't know how to do that without mentioning names! He listed 5 of them (I can only read 3 of them) LOL. We talked to him yesterday for about 2 hours. The church and volunteer program is amazing, and our family is SO THANKFUL!!
Dwith3: Did your SR give you hometowns connected to these names? You can use initials of the SRs along with hometowns to see if family members are on here. If they contact you, you can friend request them and then private message more personal info.
Such a small world. Turns out my co-worker's nephew, I believe it was, is in my dtr's Brother Division. My dtr is R.S. Hope to meet T.A.'s family at Meet & Greet. I'm so excited & nervous. Can't wait for that phone call. Thank you for the post about Battlestations upcoming. It is so helpful to know what to expect! Thx! S.G.
