CMom: I don't have a SR....I have a sailor (PIRed a little over a yr ago). I'm one of the veteran moms who is on to help you all. "Stacy" is the administrator of this group. Her post is right below yours. Sherri(group creator) found out she is in the 4/22 group. So Stacy is the one to moderate this group! There will be more to join this group as the form letters start to come in.

My son's recruiter has been great - he called me this am - he knew that the PIR dates for divisions (139–148 & 923) Graduate Friday, April 22, 201, and since my SR was in division 150 he would be the next Friday. 4/29. So, diannep are you and I the only ones for sure on here with PIR of 4/29? Who is the actual moderator?
I will post this on the March site - there are 9 that left on 3/2 in that group!
If there is anything I can do to help with this group let me know - I think I was the first one on the "leaving in March group"! So, I know what its like to 'learn as you go'!!

oh oops yeah I meant 139 sorry :)
Yeah I got his box today. Next step, form letter woohoo!
-

139-148 graduate 4/22. 138 is part of the 4/15 group. It gets very confusing! :-)

Oh, you will....some stay on bootcamp group until they get their form letter...they'll start showing up! It will be interesting to see how large this PIR group will be...Jessica is good about posting the link on bootcamp for them to find you.

"diannep"- I really hope so! I'm ready to meet some more moms/girlfriends/families!!

You have to call the recruiter, the recruiter will not know his PIR date but he will know his division and his address.
How do you know his BC didn't start until today? I was told that as soon as they are assigned a division that means processing days are done and BC started.
The way we know the PIR date is because there's many ladies on this site with great guessing skills from their own experiences :)
Plus, on the website I mentioned (stinks that you can't see it) says on there that Divisions 138-148 will graduate on 4/22/11
Which means, if you are in 149 like me, then they have to graduate on 4/29 because they don't skip weeks for no reason.
Just from my own thoughts, I think if he is in division 149-153 at the least. He will graduate on 4/29

You all will find this group will grow fast as the form letters start to come in.

I had no idea we would get a call about the PIR date. Did his recruiter call you himself? . My son left on March 1 also but BC did not start until today,
-
-
how did I rate a call?
I don't understand what you mean.
And the form letter- everyone here tells us to not expect it until week 2 or 3. some go as long as 4
