Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 349-350.
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!!!

I have seen from other post and info on the a school site from Great Lakes that they are allowed Civilian clothes after they reach a certain stage of their training. So we are taking some clothes up for our son, but it may depend on where his A school is. We are not really sure either. It does say somewhere, if going to A school in GL can't have until Checked in their and if going elsewhere, cannot have until checked out of RTC. Same as cell phone. GL A school also saids they can have cell, laptop etc... Hope this helps you some.
Hello Everyone, my SR-love has mentioned making friends with his bunk mates, but he doesn't ever refer to them by their names,(which I already know you cannot post last names), but he doesn't even refer to them by their first names either, only refers to them by the states they are from! He is kinda goofy like that :) he talks about Ilinois, Kentucky, Ohio and sometimes a few others. If any of you moms, wifes or girlfriends know of someone your loved one talks about, who refers to everyone as their locations, LOL, let me know, maybe our people know each other.. Would be nice to connect.
What DIV is you recruit? My son is from Ky. Kim
This is my first time really spending time and looking at the web site. My son is in Div 350. I am planning to go up for the PIR, I know I get to see my son on Friday, does anyone know if they are staying in Chicago for A school, do we get to see them on Saturday?
My son is also staying at GL for A school and from what I understand, After you get a little time with them after PIR, then they go check into their A school barrack. Takes a couple of hours then they will have liberty till 10pm and then all Saturday and Sunday. (Unless that have a watch to stand). Kim
