My son arrived at GL on June 26th...do I count that as P-1 or the next day since it was later that evening when he got there?  If I am counting right that puts week 6 ending around August 15th or 16th with PIR on 8/24.  He is ship 11/div 262.

Remember, there are only 6 actual training weeks.  They have completed training by 6-5 (week 6, day 5).

 :-)  Sorry, MamaB.  Determining the training weeks can be very confusing.  I work back from their projected BattleStations date.  In that case, 265/266 should be starting training week 2 this week. 

Good morning all!

So, would 265/266 be starting week 3 this thursday?  I'm so confused...lol

Greta. if P1 is the first day of processing....and they started processing on June 27th according to his letters--they would have finished processing days on July 3rd (remember, they don't process on weekends)--then seems that their 1-1 (week/day of training) would have been July 5th because they would have been on "hold" for July 4th...which means 1-1 on July 5th.  That would have them finishing up right when they are supposed to.

Greta:  I think that has them finishing up a few days too early.  This is Div 264, right?  By my estimation, they should be on 6-4 by about 8/15 or 8/16.

Okay, I'm looking at his letters now and it does say that he had 5 processing days and that P1 was on 27June 2012.   That would make 2 July their first training day.  But they had 4 July off.  Here's where I get fuzzy.  That would mean that training week 2 started on 10 July?  Which would put them starting Week 3 this Tuesday.  Is that right?

Ooops....nope....thinking that 267/268 may be just about a day behind you, 808mom....so they would have started week 1 last week also, finishing up this week. It is even possible that they are on the same day as 265/266 is.  Sorry about the mistake below! 

Thanks for posting that info that made me check my calendar again!  :-)

I love grilled asparagus but this will be the first time I have ever made it. I watch this show called the chew and get some of the most AMAZING recipes from there. I love trying new stuff and I love to cook. The good thing is we have a rule here that whoever cooks doesn't have to clean up lol. So, you can see why I love cooking!!!

The bootcamp weeks and training weeks can seem so confusing. And it is hard on us moms to accept the fact that even thought they have been gone for a week or two they are only on week 1 of training. It took me forever to understand all of that. And I know it wasn't until after my Sailor was already out of bootcamp lol.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. Today is my step-daughters 18th birthday. So I have been cooking and cleaning all day. We have lots of family and several of her friends coming over. We are having fresh Red Snapper caught while on vacation a couple weeks ago :-) Also grilled asparagus, homemade fruit salad, potato salad & baked beans, cheddar bay biscuits and of course birthday cake. Anyone hungry now? lol come on over :-)
