DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

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 263 and 264

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!!!

Good morning! Awesome we can narrow it down to division!

My son is in 264... anyone gotten a phone call yet today?

Not yet, can't wait for my son to call.. He is in 264 as well

No phone call yet but received his first letter home to Mom & Dad. It was 3 pages! He wouldn't write 3 pages for school. But it was a beautiful letter and I cried and Dad said he was going to write him back. He is making friends from around the country but he is still looking forward to seeing us at PIR. Thanks to all the vet moms for their invaluable advice. His girlfriend and I are applying all your wisdom! 

Hello my son is DIV 263 I can't wait to get a phone call or a letter!
Hi my daughter is 263! This Is great. I have been having a hard time keeping track of parents and which ones belong to my division.

Hey there Mom of Navy baby! Did not know there are girls in these two brother divisions! That's awesome! Keep your chin up... its been really hard for me too. I still have some blue days & haven't heard from my son at all yet, other than the form letter. But know we're all in this together!

Hey my son is DIV 263 and I got a call today!

My daughter called today! It was so wonderful to hear her voice. She sounded like she was actually doing great she laughed and talked easily about whats happening. She warned  me to  not expect many letters! shes to tired or has Watch or Ship's Staff Duties! keeping busy for sure.

I'm sure you all feel the same... I'M BUBBLING WITH SO MUCH PRIDE

Hey, Moms! My son called Saturday afternoon from 263. It was good to hear his voice but we didn't speak long because I wanted him to call his girlfriend. She said they talked for 15 min. and thanked me for giving her more time. She said he was going to try to squeeze in 5 more min. for his best friend. He sounded great and said he is working toward that PIR date without any hiccups for him or his division!
