I haven't been on in quite awhile, but till follow all the comments.  I believe from what I can piece together from fb and my son's letters that Div 223 is on 4-3 today.  He said he was starting hell week last week.  There is a son of a gentleman on fb in my son's division who communicates a lot better than mine (!) that gives me a better idea of where they are!

Trying to figure this all out is mind-boggling!  

We have a long trip ahead and plan to leave the beginning of the first week of June.  I figure whatever will be,,,will be...  Again, I'll have the calls transferred to my cell so we don't miss anything.  

Just can't wait to see my SR!!

diannep,

Irene's training week/day count is more accurate.  The lower-numbered divisions are probably actually starting "Hell Week" (training week 4) this week.  By the middle of the week, all divisions in this group should be doing Hell Week. 

joyce:  I think your week/day count possibly is for bootcamp weeks rather than training weeks.  Remember, they have Processing Days when they arrive which don't count in the training weeks.  They have more "down" days after BattleStations, some a week or more depending on when their division goes through.  They do BattleStations at 6-5 (week/day).  Lower-numbered divisions start, usually the week before PIR week.  900 divisions are usually at the beginning of PIR week.  The higher-numbered divisions finish by mid-week during PIR week.  You cannot post the actual dates here, but you can ask your SR when they will go through and pass it to others through private message on here.  RTC has asked us not to post the dates on this site or FB because they want you to start practicing OPSEC, which means, no discussion of "ship movement" before it happens.

Yes, my son has written every day and included the date and DOT from the beginning. The first DOT (1-1) was May 1st. There are 5 days of training in each week (Sat-Sun don't count in the 5 days). Today is 3-4, but that is on target for when they started. They were on hold before and after processing days too, so that is why such a late start to actual training days. I'm not sure what next Monday will do to the training schedule, since it is a holiday. I'll be anxious to get the letters from that week to make sure I'm still on track. :)

Sorry, meant to write SR not SRI.  SRI is a place that I use to work.  Weird slip o the keyboards.  Sorry...

Hi joyce0822:  When my SRI called last Wednesday, he said that it could be about 2 weeks before we hear from him again, so I wonder if that's the case with the rest of them as well, since they all seem to call at roughly on the same day or in the case of my son last week, a day later. 

Also, someone mentioned to me that they are a little behind in training and so today is actually 3-4.  Does anyone else know for sure?
