I wonder if they'll be in the same TG? (I'm learning the lingo, can you tell??? TG, training group!, Go ME!!LOL)
I hope so...with brandydean and mine, all these Nukes in one area, could mean a brain overload!!LOL And since mine sometimes lacks common sense...well, your hubby may need to keep him on task!!LOL

Got the box today...and he arrived last Tuesday/Wed. 3 a.m.
I told him (as did everyone else) to just keep his mouth closed and his eyes open...and that should serve him well...
We'll see though...after his first IT I'm sure he'll learn!!
IDK about the divisions and sorting...interested to find out.

My daughter left on July 3rd and I finally, after a week got her address. I called the recruiters office today and he told me Ship 12 Division 270. I also got her box today. She wrote her name on the outside of the box then did a scribbly swirl after her name, its her famous signature. I wonder if she had to do pushups for that. Inside her box was a mess. Just like her bedroom used to be. Clothes just crammed in there and some other junk that she took with her, why I have no idea. But that is my daughter. I am sure the Navy will straighten her messiness right up. This site is so awesome, it is wonderful to be able to share information and feelings with people who are going through the same thing.
