Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 333 & 334. 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 to post questions, and concerns, we “veteran” moms don’t always get to into the discussion groups 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!!!

Got our coins as well- the start of many memories. I also ordered ribbons for his four guests to wear that say Justin #333. I'm thinking of making signs too but I don't know if that will turn this formal/classy event into a tacky pep rally?
LOL- I never saw signs in any of the graduation pics but there is always a first. During the AF graduation it looked as if everybody had one and big ole banners too!
Yes, please? No letter with news this week yet.
we haven't got letters for 2 weeks and no nothing about coins. Please explain and do we need to order them and pay for them?
There are coins for a few of the "ships" at RTC. These are challenge coins that you can order for your SR.
