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!!!

Under my boots I wear to PIR, my toenails are proudly painted NAVY blue!!
You're so funny ;)
Good morning 333/334...we are so close!! I think my flight gets in too late to make it to any of the meet and greets but I am so excited for you all to get together. What a fun evening that will be. It has been such a blessing to read about you all and your SR's. :) Thank you for sharing.
Good morning to you too! Where are you staying? We're at the Ramada until Sun AM. Praying for them today that their fire fighting classes are fun! Maybe a letter today?
We are staying at the Navy Lodge Thurs. night and then closer to the airport Friday and Sat night. My SR sent me a letter last week letting me know that he is trying to change his job (he went in kind of without one) so I have no idea now what to expect as far as A school or when or if he will leave GL. I really hope I get a letter today or tomorrow with at least a little info in it. I think the firefighting will be very cool for them! :)
I think so too! My son always wanted to be a firefighter but when he found out that it was mostly going on EMT calls, it didn't sit well with him. So, he decided to enlist!
Blue’s Clues Mail Song
Here's the mail, it never fails.
It makes me want to wag my tail.
When it comes I want to wail - Mail!
LOL @ Ann.
Well I broke down and got a hotel this morning. Im staying at the Days Inn in Waukegan. Ah, now I still have to do the whole car rental thing. The part that gets me is the $300 debit card hold they will do Like who doesn't need access to $300?
Check if the Days inn has a shuttle? We fly in too early- check if another NavyMom is going your way and share a car!!!
I got a letter today, really it was just answers to a lot of questions I had.Written on september 23rd (4-4) Did we know there are no girls in div. 333?? Do they separate them? I had never thought that through. My son had hear you only get 3 minutes for a shower so he is happy to have 5-10 minute shower.He also said the bickering and yelling has calmed down and the divsion is just starting to work as a team- some of the time.His bunk mate is David from Arizona- anyone??? His friends are Correy,Tyler and Darrell. He again asked for me to send pictures from home. I asked if division 333 would be ready for Battle Stations- YES!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Ann
Yes, they have some divisions with no girls and some mixed. My SR wrote in one of his first letters that 333 did not have any girls.
My son is in her brother division... his name is Korey :)
