Welcome to the Division Discussion for Divisions 133 and 134
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.

Yes! I finally got a call yesterday. We talked for about 30 min. That really made my day!
my son is ship 13 div 133 too! This is my second time going through this. My middle son graduated bootcamp last September and now is in Japan. So excited to see all the Div 133's out there. How are you all holding up ladies?
Excited and missing my Sailor. Did you get your phone call yet?
We received our letter yesterday! Our son Brett is Ship 13 Div 133!

Love your bunny ellen0503. I think it is a girl, what do you think??
Absolutely...So adorable and yet I am positive that it is a boy.
Hello all,
I got my letter today after no delivery for a few days. I am so happy that my SR is in Ship 13, Div 133. God bless all our SR. So much to do so little time. Getting transport arrangements to PIR, scheduling time off for the grand event. Looking forward to Meet and Greet the night before. He even wrote a sweet note at the end of the guest list that he was good and that he loved us. I started jumping for joy.
I have to tell you ladies that I was a basket case when I didn't get the letter. I am reading your entry and see I am not the only one. My son was to leave on Wed Feb 5 but end up leaving on Thur Feb 6 because of the snow in NY and in Chicago. Did your Sailor Recruits go in the week of Feb 10? Really looking forward to seeing everyone at PIR and the Meet & Greet with Sarge the night before.
My son left 2/10. I got my letter Sat and thought it'd take longer after some of the other posts I'd read. We are starting to also get ready with all of the travel arrangements :)
