My son left the 12th for boot camp and he called Sunday (surprised) and said he hadn't even really started processing yet so it would be this week. He thought his PIR date would be 6/15 but his recruiter looked on the RTC computer and he has been assigned to div 178. Hoping for 6/8 date but we shall see!

TechiTunes - My son arrived in GL on 4/11 in the evening. His DIV is 175 according to recruiter. As of yesterday, I was told he has not been assigned a PIR yet. Not sure if our sons are together or not?

We now know that this Division will have PIR on 06/15/12. Watch the main page of the group for the link to the group when ♥FireTeamLeaderWife♥ aka FTLW posts it or http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date. She is looking for someone to start the group, so if you are interested send her a Friend request and ask about it.
