OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I'm guessing but I don't really know. Another child left the same day as mine in the group before mine and his PIR is 8/11. I have no experience to go off of here really

From this post and other posts about recruits arriving on the 20th, it sounds like there was some p hold for the last two divisions of the prior TG. I am guessing they were waiting on some females to arrive on the 20th. LOL
Hang tight for the form letters ladies, I am guessing those arriving on the 20th could be in either the 8/1 or the 8/18 PIR.

By counting 9 Fridays, PIR will most likely be 08/18/2017 for those who shipped on 06/20/2017. It could be 08/11/2017 for some if they are in a Push Division and were placed in one of the last divisions from the week before.

I feel your pain. In 2012 I waited for almost four weeks before receiving the form letter.
Hugs!!!!!!!
