They could, but some recruits are held in order to fill another division. Divisions start with 80 recruits.
I think this is how it works:
If the number of people arriving is, say 450 in one day, they will make 5 divisions and hold the rest for the next week's arrivals. 80*5 divisions = 400, so 50 people would be held.
Your recruit could be the same PIR or could be the following week.

If 450 recruits arrive the same day, the odds of all of them PIRing the same day is 3.4396E-136 (that is .5 x .5, 450 times

it depends on the individual, there are many divisions that graduate the same day, you should get a letter within a month of him arriving at BC, i think i got mine after 2 or 3 weeks, and it will explain everything u need to know, but remember u need to read it carefully because i though it was ok to skim though it and 3 days before we were gonna leave to go see him i reread it and we both expected him to be able to come home for 2 weeks, and in the letter it specified that he would go straight to A school but he had a couple days of liberty. his graduation date should be listed along with his address and if u have his address then ask him in a letter, and he could tell u

I would think probably. I know when my sailor graduated he had people in his PIR that got there up to the week after him. It was a big graduating class though. I think they biggest they had up until that point. A letter will be sent out about week 2 or 3 with the exact info though. And of course things do happen. You just never know with the military.

Simple answer is no they can not expect to graduate the same day....to know for sure when they will, you need to wait for the letter
