Welcome to the Division Discussion for Division 915 - 916

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!!!

Is this the place for the 915-916'ers?? Hi all!

I hope so, my sailor is in 915. He's been wanting to do this for so long. How bout you & yours?

My son is in 916.  He did 4 years in JROTC in high school.  He's wanted to go in for  long time too!

Hi there

Hello! I have a daughter in 915.  She is absolutely LOVING it! Loves her division and everyone in it. Says all the girls are wonderful and loves her RDC's as well!  

But, I do have a problem.  She is not receiving any of our letters and I don't know why.  Has anyone else's child mentioned that they have not received mail?  Between us, friend and extended family, we figure at least 20 letters have been sent.  All from various mailboxes/post offices, so I don't think thats  the problem.  Her address is different than when our other 2 sons were in RTC, so I'm not sure what to do.

Any suggestions????

We r having the same problem. Ship 02 Div 915. We have sent 12-15 letters but he has none so far. Used the address that later was shown on form letter. Got it using ship & division numbers from 1st phone call. Help!

Oh good! I mean not good, lol.  But at least I know its not something I'm doing. :)

Is the address you are using "Ohio St."? That is what ours said on the form letter.  

With my other 2 sons it was "Sailor Dr."

Is any one else in Ship 02 Div 915 using an address DIFFERENT than OHIO ST.?

Ohio state is what we found online & was on his Form Letter hmmmmm.
Sorry bout the Ohio State. I grew up a Buckeye, it comes automatically. Lol. I meant Ohio Street.
Hi. I was so happy to hear from my daughter in 916 yesterday. She cried in the beginning because she is very homesick but got over that crying quickly and was telling me about boot camp and a few of the great friends she has made. I know that having them is making this experience so much easier for her. I just can't wait for PIR. I want to hug her so badly! So proud.

Same here, Lisa. My daughter cried at the beginning and end of the call (because they had to hang up abruptly and unexpectedly)...but she was talking about her experiences in-between and also has great friends - which I am SO thankful for. She was REALLY tired and I could hear that in her voice. Praying for strength and perseverance today. 

I am so happy I was able to talk to her and she is doing well but the other part of me is so sad that she is so homesick. She's one of the younger ones in the group and has never really been away from home and that was for vacation with friends but we still spoke everyday. I miss her so much.
