Jane, Is there a reason you won't stay and see your SR off at the airport?  Sometimes they can have a long wait at the airport, even though they are bussed late Fri/early Sat night to wait for flights.  Some may leave as early as 6 a.m. on their flights; others may not leave until later in the afternoon, and lots will leave in between those times.  Your SR won't know until right before PIR what flights he/she is on,  But since you are driving, you have some leeway.  You may want to book your hotel through Sat. night just in case you can make the airport visit.  You can always cancel that night once you see your SR at PIR and find out the actual flight times.

They go in order of division number, but since we don't have all of the division numbers yet for this PIR group, I can't tell you which ones are on a certain date.  The lowest numbers will finish first---usually Fri a week before PIR.  900 division usually finishes by Tues morning of PIR week....all divisions are usually finished by Wed morning of PIR week.

The way the training weeks run is like this:

Today, some will be on 1-2 (that means, Week 1, Day 2).  Others are on 1-1 today and still others won't be on 1-1 until tomorrow.  6-5 is when they have BattleStations.  They PIR during Training Week 7, but they really conclude training at the end of week 6.

There are actually just 6 weeks of Training, although 8+ weeks of Bootcamp.  The beginning of Bootcamp is full of processing days and after BattleStations, their final test, they usually have from a week to a couple of days (depending on their division) before PIR.  Those account for the extra weeks.

Q'sMom:  Most of the divisions are in Week 1 of training this week.  Some will be starting Training Week 2 on Friday, the rest next week.  They are all without about 2-3 days of each other.

I believe the first week begins the day they arrived whether a Monday or Wednesday the following week is week 2 its the only way that an October 31st Graduation would work for our SR's who arrived on the 3rd but maybe I am wrong

Hello to all my 10/31 PIRs !!!!!

What is the normal routine for hotel stays. Do families normally leaving the Saturday after PIR or leave on a Sunday? We're driving and not planning on seeing our SR at the airport Saturday AM.

Thanks

Good morning!  Does anyone know what Day of Training (DOT) this is for SRs who left MEPS on 3 Sep?  I've been trying to follow the Day-to-Day process listed on Craig's website, but it seems his list begins on a Monday.  Since 3 Sep was a Wed, I'm not sure I'm on the correct DOT. I think it's the P-Hold weekends that are tripping me up :-/

If you can let me know  today's DOT based on 3 Sep Ship Date, I'd sure appreciate it!!
