Hi Michelle,
My son is also Ship 6 Div 922. Here is a website with the PIR schedules on it. http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/grad_day.asp
They're the same schedule every week i believe. Look around this website, I've found some good information there.
Good Luck to your son, I hope they all do well in battlestations. Just over a week to go! -
