Thank you diannep.
Training days are M-F, numbered 1-5. They are on "hold" on weekends/holidays. Holidays, they "lose" a day (move back a day) unless the holiday comes during PIR week...then they will be in BattleStations...shouldn't affect their training, although they may not do BattleStations on a holiday.
Just think......this time next month we will be with out sailors!!!!!!! so exciting!!!!!!! :)
Dear October, could we move it along a little faster...... lol
Harleymom/GSDGirl: When you hear from your SR again, ask what week/day they are on that day. Believe me, they know. They finish training 6-5 (week 6, day 5).
Harleymom that is what I was thinking I'm gonna stop trying to figure out the weeks, until the week of the 16th!! lol.
I honestly don't think I will ever get the "days" and "Weeks" and what day they are on and what they are doing. But as long as he grads on 11/16 that is really what I care about. I know that he said last night when he called he was in week 3? He said "Hell week" was in week 4 so I am guessing that will start here in a few days. Lots of cards and letters and prayers heading that way for them.
thanks Brittany! :) Sadly he will not be staying in GL for A-school :( he is grad and go, so I will only have a few hours with him ( but a few hours is better than nothing) I have tried to contact his family but i havent heard anything from them :( so I am trying to get all my ducks in a row before hand. :)
Good Morning Ladies!
Thank you diannep!! By the time BC is over I should get this all straight, lol.
There are 6 training weeks, but 8 bootcamp weeks (give or take). They actually PIR during training week 7. So they are right on target!
Remember, bootcamp starts with processing days (before training weeks start) and they will also have from a week for some divisions to just a few days for other divisions after they finish training (week 6/day 5 ends training) before they PIR.
