Hi missomd Glad to have you along I will give some sight to go to for info
What will the first day be like at BC?
See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and Ship/Division--How it Works. this will give you info on processing days.
Your first week will be taken up by medical, dental and administration screenings. This processing week - or “P-Days” - will fly by as you are prepared for your training to start. The first two weeks of training are very difficult: your body and mind will have to adjust quickly to new rigors. You must memorize information such as your chain of command, the general orders and rank recognition.
During the next four weeks of training, much of your day will be spent in class or in a hands-on technical training environment. Teamwork, self-discipline and attention to detail are the keys to successfully completing this stage of your training, preparing you for challenges that lie ahead.

when did you Loved one go in, I believe you can count the first Friday he is in, in the info it states it can go more than a week if something comes up, but the info I gave you can explain more. Thank You, Your loved one will be fine the hardest part about this is no communication and not knowing. It can be very overwhelming. Believe me I know, I felt a part of me was gone and I cried as if I was mourning someone, at home at work. So it is normal.
