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!!!

JUST CAN'T WAIT!!!

 

 

It's funny that we are all waiting on the post man.  It sure does show us how we have all gotten used to instant messaging, texting, e-mailing, or even picking up the cell and just calling. I remember when my son walked into Meps the first time and did all of his paperwork, picked out his job, then came home and told me it would be 6 months. aargh! I thought that was so ridiculous  Now that he's gone and I can't just pick up the phone and talk to him, I'd take it back. 

This is the same thing that my son did and the way I felt too!

My son had to wait 8 months. Supposedly, the delay was caused by the "A" school availability.

I am getting about 1 letter per week. In the past, the unacceptable behavior of several resulted in the whole bunch being punished and restricted. I wonder if they all were punished again because of one who apparently has a problem with authority.

I've gotten three letters total and I don't think my son's division was 'punished' at all. He just doesn't write. Now if he could text or email me that would be a different story. I know I'll hear from him more often once he gets to 'A' school. Email of course!!

I don't know if they are all being punished. He did mention there is one who is a problem for their division. I hoped that they would have come together before now :(  Praying for them all to PIR

 

Praying them through Battle stations and looking forward to that 'I am a Sailor' call!

16 days!!!

Amen to that!

Has anyone gotten the date of our SR's battlestations?  Once one of us finds out, I wonder if we could pm it around amongst ourselves?  Poor diannep, she must have her inbox full from all our wondering minds :)

So agreed- I was feeling bad so I didn't request a private message. It looks like we(div.333) still have a while. It's teaching me to pray and not worry, but I want to be available to get the call from my SAILOR!

Me too!  I missed his first call completely and the call on Saturday didn't come thru on my cell phone.  Just went to voicemail :(  Thank goodness his brother got to talk to him for 25 minutes.  I know the good Lord is teaching me to be patient, but I want to be ready for the "I'm a Sailor" call!

I received the info last night from diannep for 333/334. So if you message me then I can tell you right? I admit I am not the best at this. I just dont want to get anyone in trouble, including me!! HA!
