Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 331 and 332
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!!!

YES!!! Glad to so his handwriting! Now we will flood him with letters :)
Got the form letter today. Took 8 days to reach us. Does anyone have a SR going to San Antonio for A school after BC?
I got my form letter today and my son left 8/10/15. I was so excited. I loved to see his hand writing.
Well ladies, since we've got "the box" and "form letters," guess it's time to look foward to the phone calls!!! Everyday we are getting closer to PIR!!!
Hi Ladies!!! Just received my first phone call from my SR!!! He is at the allergist, having to go thru a test, but doing well! He said he has to have his wisdom teeth removed also, some of the recruits in his division already have on Friday. He sounded happy, said the first few weeks were hell! When he called, the phone said WI, with a 920 area code. I hope you'll be able to talk with your SR's soon!!!
Got a letter today from my SR! Sounds good, a bit homesick still! Said he was having his wisdom teeth out today...:( Hopefully your getting letters too!! Division 332
When my son called from the allergist, he said they should be calling this weekend...IF they could stay out of trouble. He said their RDC is very tough and taking phone minutes away from them constantly. Sunday is the only day they can write!! Hopefully you'll hear from him soon...Day 41 for us moms!!! :P
Yes, mine said the same. Hopefully they get it together so us mom's don't have to suffer!!! Hoping our boy's have made it through the teeth removal okay...can't wait til this weekend, hopefully they can call.
Got a letter from my son today! He said they can only write on Sundays, and last Sunday was the first day he could write. He is hoping to be able to call us on Sunday - can't wait to hear his voice! It took 4 days to get his letter - it didn't take nearly as long to get it as the form letter, which took 8 days to arrive. Hope you will all be receiving letter from your SRs soon if you haven't already.
