Day by Day at Boot Camp?
My daughter left on 01/15 for RTC. We received her box on Friday but waiting on the form letter. I had thought there was a "Day by Day" of what to expect at RTC document on this site but I haven't had any luck. Any ideas, or am I just overlooking it?

Hi. My son left on 1/16 and so far I've only we received the "arrived call". Which from what I'm told is normal. When I first started looking at this site I found a Power Point that had what to expect and what they would be doing on P-days. Unfortunately, I haven't found it again. The video on BC is helpful and the info on BC which I think I found on the main page gave some info on what to expect and the P days and following. With MLK holiday not sure if that was a hold day or not. I'm still navigating through the site and a bit over whelmed.

MLK, Jr's B'day is a federal holiday and was a hold day at the RTC, so today was P-3 for your recruit if he did not have to wait for others to begin P-days.

Thanks for the post on my wall. " Pineviewranch" How did you do that? I found out earlier today how to Highlight a name in a post but am not sure they see it. Yes we sure are in the same timeframe. Maybe as lemonelephant said they are P-3. This site is so helpful but learning to navigate has been interesting. Do you think our guys will have PIR on 3-14 or 3-21? Look forward to learning and sharing more.

To leave a comment on a member's wall, click on their picture and it will take you to their My Page. If a member comments on your Comment Wall, click on "Comment Back" or "View Thread" below the comment. Highlighting a person's name in a comment or reply does not guarantee that the member will see the post since it does not send anything to them as doing so in fB usually does.
PIR will most likely be 03/14/2014, but it could also be the week after depending on when the division formed. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

You can find that in http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433. That link and others can be found in Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
