DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 035 and 036
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 Division 35, too. He will stay in Great Lakes for A school. How are you holding up?
My son is Div. 35 and I think he will also stay in Great lakes for A School. We will be going to go see him for Thanksgiving, Adopt a sailor for the day. I am excited to see him.
Hello Ladies! My son is in Ship 14, Div 36...I assume our boys are all close at least. My son will be headed to San Antonio for A School (Hospital Corpsman). We've received two phone calls (the 2nd for only about 5 minutes) and one round of letters so far. I'm hoping to have one waiting in the mailbox tomorrow. He's supposed to be having his wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow...poor dude.
tys Mom from CT, I am from CT also and I adopted a sailor in this brotherhood. His name is Rodrigrez see if your son knows him. I keep writing but don't hear back, that is ok, just hope he is doing alright. As for what you get, the night before PIR, your son will have his room completely packed. When PIR is over you get to take him out of BC and spend the day, DO NOT I PREPEAT, do not go to Chicago, it's too far with too much traffic to get him back to book camp before curfew. get to base on hour before curfew there will be a line to get back in. At this point you will know when he is heading to the airport and have instructions on where to meet him at the airport. You will get to go in a special gate and stay at the airport until he leaves, then you can have lunch or something together then. This visit can be up to 5 hours, take advantage of it. Let me know if you have any more questions. :) NMH
SO NOW YOU HAVE 30 DAYS, IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS YOU WILL BE AT 29, I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU, IT'S GOING TO GO FAST, GET READY !!!!!
Hey all, My son is Div 036. Can you believe this is coming to an end soon? 10 days! My Sailor will then go to A-school in Pensacola. We're not sure what happens after that. B-school? C-school? Or just to a ship? He's going into Aviation Ordnanceman.
Please join me in praying that the kiddos get thru this week and we all get a "I'm a SAILOR" call this Friday!!!
