Welcome to the discussion group for division 952.
Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Hi FTLW. Thanks for starting this group. Can you tell me a little about division 952? I read somewhere that the recruits could either volunteer for this division or they were chosen because of musical talent? Also, what does this division do differently than the others? Thanks!

Here is a link that explains what our kids are doing very well.
http://www.ehow.com/list_7326104_requirements-navy-rtc-900-division...
From what I have heard they don't get to volunteer, they are asked a series of questions and if they provide the answers they are looking for, they are sent to this division.

GrangerTX, me either. =( Not sure if they were able to write this past Sunday, or not though. Plus I know my son is not much of a letter writer....so I am wondering if I will get one at all! I did send him a questionnaire though,so hopefully he will take the time to answer that.

Still no letter here yet either. I haven't been home today to check though. I am assuming if I didn't get it by this time of the week, then I am looking at waiting until the middle of next week. It is my understanding that they only mail out once a week. Is that correct? Anyway, anxiously awaiting:)
