Yep, you have to just trust that the RDC's know what they're doing with the motivational tools they use...because they DO! You will be thanking them on PIR day!

Mama Walrus, my boy is 070. He didn't say why they could slip a week for PIR, maybe because they JUST began week one (after processing) this week? I think it will be fine, Arwen is probably right about it an RDC threat!

RDCs frequently threaten divisions with things like holding them back a whole week or two, or worse. They are mostly empty threats. I have never seen it actually happen. These are the same threats I heard when I was in boot camp in 1988. It's "motivational" they say. LOL. At the time it's entirely believable, especially when you've just failed an inspection. And it's terrifying. And yes, it motivates.

himmie....love the santa hat. One year we did santa hats and beards on our 4 dogs (2 doxies 2 labs) for Christmas photo......that was everyone's favorite.

The countdown clock says 50:23:50:11 for me. That is right....I just counted using a calendar!
-
-
Now that is odd.....how do you have 50 days on your clock and I have 60, I have heard of time zones but not for 10 day differences! hahahahaha
Now you set the clock for this PIR group and I would think it would be universal on that countdown,,,,I dont know if I can fix it.. do youu know without me changing the whole thing...
