Week 4 of Training AKA Hell week

The 4th week of training is nicknamed Hell week and it isjammed packed. There are 3 inspections; 2 divisional ones, the zone inspectionand the drill inspection and 1 personal inspection. Recruits have their secondPFA (timed 1.5 mile run, push ups and sit-ups). They also have live fire andget to shoot a shotgun and a 9 mm. They can earn a ribbon for marksmanship withthe 9 mm. If they qualify as a sharpshooter their ribbon will have a"S" pin on it and for Expert their ribbon will have an "E"pin. Experts also earn a medal. They have their pictures taken this week intheir dress blues. They make a visit to the tailor to get any alterations totheir uniforms made. They have their second academic test. It is a very busyweek, but once week 4 of training is done they are usually working welltogether as a team and know what the RDCs expect from them. This means lessyelling and IT.

I noticed there''s a bunch of SRs headed to Pensacola next.  Here's the link for the "Sailors in Pensacola A School...Corry Station too"  for you to join!  It is a very active group with lots of help from the veteran mom Beachbunny on there~~

Push Division: a division in which some recruits who arrive in one week are held in P-days until more recruits who arrive in the next week finish P-days to fill the division. The recruits arriving the second week are pushed forward a week and are at the RTC 7 1/2 weeks rather than the typical 8 1/2 weeks that others in the division are or that others who arrived on the same day will be

They tell them that...its a "threat motivator" to try and put it nicely. It's not true. And they will tell this to any Division not just the Push ones.

Divisions do not get held back...Only individual Recruits. Once a Divisions Graduation date has been set it will not change. Hold backs are on an individual Recruit basis based on failure to meet criteria in Boot Camp.

Push Divisions get formed  a bit later than the otherDivisions in the TG and so have to "push" to catch up in training.

I received a letter from my SR yesterday and he said that his division is a "push" division, but that they are all doing well and so far, still on schedule to graduate 11.21.14.  Apparently if you are in a push division, nobody can fail anything, or the entire group stands to have their graduation pushed back?  That is the impression I got from his letter.
