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!!!

Thanks.... from a 334 mom, that means a lot and CONGRATS!!!!
Got a letter today- short and sweet- they are so ready for BattleStations and so ready to see friends and family. Says to make room in my suitcase because I need to take home $200 worth of pictures and Navy gear he bought for me to wear- I'm sure its 'Navy Mom' t-shirts in every color.
I'm so looking forward to hearing his voice!!
I got a similar letter on Thursday. I had to laugh, because this is the kid who would hide those school picture flyers so I would not buy them! When it came to his graduation pictures, it was like he was being tortured. Family occasions, nothing. Now he is telling me he bought this and that, two different poses because he like them both and that this frugal kid spent over $200 on photos! Wow, they must be great, lol!
Can't wait to see them AND him!
Will he have family there?
Good Morning...Ok so my sons division...333... has not done battleships...? That is a for sure??? so no call until next wee?? And my other question is we have 4 people going to grad plus my 12 year old son...I read 12 and under do not count then someone said it is under 12 do not count...I am trying to find it on the wedsite...I am just nervous these days...thanks for any advise!!!!!!!!!!
I read this from our first letter on the Department of Navy letterhead : "Children ages 12 and younger as well as active duty, retired and military personal do not count toward the maximum number of guest and do not need to be listed."
So you should be fine zachsmom! We have 7 people coming. We were hoping the ones not on the list would be able to get in on standby, but I guess not. That's OK, they are just excited to see him and are teasing those of us going that they will be sleeping in at the hotel, lol!
I'm not a morning person so I'd love to be sleeping in- but I'll be there (with my coffee) bright and early to see my SR!! I'm sure a twelve year old has a small rear -end on the bleachers- we'll squish closer for him!
Don't forget to print your parking and and stick it with your plane tickets or other paperwork!
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Pray for our Navy!
Amen
ABSOLUTELY!!!
