Okay, now that we can guess with a decent degree of probability there are 13 divisions, there are a few possibilities for how the Navy
will arrange the training dates,
but here is what I think will be the most likely schedule.
Div 075, 076 and 077 will begin Day 1-1 on Monday (most likely to be GnG)
Div 078, 079 and 080 will begin Day 1-1 on Tuesday
Div. 081, 082 and 083 will begin Day 1-1 on Wednesday
Div. 084, 085 and 086 will begin Day 1-1 on Thursday
Div. 913 will begin Day 1-1 on Friday
Each day's grouping will train together, and refers to the other division(s) on the same training day as their brother divisions. They get to know each other to some degree, and have friendly rivalries. They share classrooms, and often gather in one of their barracks as a group for some training.
900 divisions live and train separately from the rest of their PIR group in their own special barracks. They do a few things together, but their "brother division" is usually the previous week's 900 division, or the week ahead of them. They combine several weeks of 900 divisions to complete a performance group.
For example, Div 911 may have the band and guest guides, Div. 912 may have the choir and flags, and Div. 913 may have rifle drill team and guest guides. Then when 914 forms, it would have band and guest guides, to replace 911 as they graduate.
It looks like this will be a medium-largeish PIR. With divisions 075 - 086, plus the 913 division, there are at least 12 divisions, and maybe
more. 086 is the highest number I've heard so far. There may not be an
800 division, most groups do not have one, but there is almost always a
900 division.
They may have added divisions if the divisions formed were too large. The Navy counts on many of them leaving in the first week or so,
it is possible fewer were disqualified early and they ended up with too
many per division, and formed a new division from the "extras" in each division. Someone said something about a division with more than 100 recruits. I can't see them letting that stand. The barracks aren't large enough for that many!
