Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 371 & 372.
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!

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 missed my SRs call because I was so busy at work :( I actually saw it ringing and had to silence it. My heart broke when I heard his voicemail later. I wish I just would have answered it even though he said he only had 3 minutes to talk anyway. It would have been the best 3 minutes I've had in a long time.... :(

Got another letter from our son. He is doing quite well. He seemed pretty excited that they were working on their flag and he got to put his drawing of an anchor and their core values on it. Said he was helping them all with their drawing. He is an excellent artist. I can't wait until Nov 9. Gosh, it already seems like it's been forever!

Hi all! I'm new on the site but my fiancée, who's on ship 12 div. 371, shipped out on the 17th of Sept. His mother asked me to join since she doesn't do much on the Internet. I'm trying to learn as much as I can! We haven't gotten a box from him or anything...I have talked to my SR last Wednesday and waiting for tomorrow, hopefully. Does anyone know about hospital corpsmans' A school? He says he can come home for the holidays but I'm not so sure. I'm also wondering if its worth going to their PIR on the 9th...

Hi Jenny! My fiance is in the same div and he shipped out Sep 17th also! I'm sorry I know nothing about corpsman A school but I did find this https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/hm.pdf My fiance had a similar paper for his rating. From what I read, they usually let sailors in A school come home for the holidays for at least one week if they want. I don't believe it's that hard to be approved as long as some stay behind so it should be true. I think you should definitely go to PIR. I heard it's awesome and unforgettable :D

I wonder if they're friends? Hmmm....maybe I'll meet you there! Are you going to PIR?

They probably know each other at least :D I'm definitely going to be there. Are you going to any of the Meet and Greets? I'm going to try to attend Sarge's.
