Ship 14 (USS Arizona) Divisions 333 & 334 (Brother Divisions)
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!!!

The division flag looks like it has a flag pole with 333 sign on it. There is a snake wrapped around the pole and "don't tread on me" banner on the bottom. The picture is in pencil so I am not sure what the colors are. He said he is helping paint the flag. So proud of him, 23 days to go!

I encourage every mom to watch the 'Battle-stations' video. Encourage our SRs to work as a team and rely on each one. We can be so proud of our SRs and they will be even more proud of themselves when they replace their 'RECRUIT" ball cap with a 'NAVY' one!!!

Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. 14- Do everything in love

Just inMom,
I posted on the main wall that I received a letter yesterday. He told me that everyone was close to or crying after their calls home last week and that they had to be in push up position a long time afterward due to too much talking after the calls. At the time he wrote the letter they were on day 3-1 so they should be on 3-5 today I think. He says they all miss music quite a bit. They have a new "shark" song that I posted on the PIR 10/12/12 wall. Hope this helps a little. I am sure there are letters/calls to come. :)

So it is div 333's song? Someone made a comment this morning but they said it was div 334. Whatever it takes to get them together as a team!

The way I understand it, it is not specific to Div 334. I am not sure that I grasp the whole brother division concept though to be perfectly honest. So many questions for a long phone call or maybe just have to wait for PIR. My SR is not the best at answering specific questions in letters. He gets out the info he has time to and I get what I get. ;)

I understand! I guess we'll have to wait to find out too! Can't wait for PIR :)

What is 'shark' song and what is the PIR10/12/12 wall- I'm so behind the times!!!

The PIR 10/12/12 is the main page for all divisions graduating on that day. The "shark" song is something the RDC's make them do. They have to lay on the floor and "swim" while reciting...please Mr. Sharky don't eat me. Seaman Recruits don't taste so good! Omnomnomnom. Now my son has told me they have learned a new one. I had a little fish, his name was tiny Tim, I put him in the tub, to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he drank up all the soap. Now my little fish can float float float. It is very difficult for other SR's not to laugh.

Got it thank you!
I've been checking each 'ships' page to get news! That makes it better, I'm still checking everywhere to get news as my SR has only sent three letter and I understand how busy he is and how I need to let him go, but he is my youngest and I'm missing him like crazy.
