My oldest son, Aaron, my grand son Jonny, and Jim, pilot of Blue Angel #2. I'm so jealous I couldn't go this year.

Can you please tell Me the Difference Between the divisions at boot camp ?
Presently Most are starting with a 2xx
Then there are A few 8xx and 9xx. Most are 2xx
What is the difference in the division numbers ?
There must be a reason ans there are very few 8xx.
It looks like there have only been 16 divisions with 8xx and 35 with 9xx, so far this year.
You can see the current divisions at this site

Last thing how far is it from the gate/visitors center to see PIR?
Are taxi's allowed to take you all the way on base ?
Thanks again for the time and great info.

Hi Jim:
Thanks for saying hello.
I'm not military, so the first thing I did was read OPSEC. My son enlisted in 2005 and has done a couple of deployments (Enterprise and Truman). He received the Navy and Marine Achievement Medal with the Truman. He was recently promoted to AT1. This is coming on the heels of his being selected for OCS as a Flight Officer Candidate.
I think I bragged within OPSEC guidelines.

Jack Flash said… - Hey Jim,
An update-- Tyler wrote the test yesterday and did really well. Based on those results he will have many opportunities and everything remains open to him. Next on the agenda is a Navy physical exam... Well, next (today) is Disneyland with his schoolmates. All he has left of high school is graduation activities and final exams.
Get this... For a graduation present all he wants is a pair of those SEAL combat boots and the cargo pants to train in along the beach. He's suddenly become an extremely motivated young man.
Where did my little boy go???

- Hi Jim,
Thanks for your interest. He had a slight glitch yesterday and wasn't able to go write the test as planned. He had been in last week and filled out the necessary paperwork and was set up to write the ASVAB yesterday after school, but when he got to the Recruiter office they had lost track of the medical forms he'd filled out, so he had to do it again. He had to come home and get his birth certificate again, and jump through some hoops and so the short part of the story is that now he's going to write it tomorrow.
I told him they were just messing with him... Seeing how he handles adversity and injustice --- ha ha.
He filled out the forms again and is more ready than ever to tackle the test tomorrow.
