@ joels rackie: No problem!
@Rob: Yep, our div (219) starts its week 4 this coming monday, i asked my husband about it on the phone, and he mentioned it in his letter, they had to wait i guess for their div to fill up, totally sucks since this should be their "week 4" but it isnt they are a week delayed, next week is guns ect, the big week for them. next week is 219s week 4, even though my husband has been there just as long as your wife, i have gotten (including this weeks letter) a total of 3 real letters and the formal letter.

...meant to say below: Processing DAYS, not WEEKS. sorry...

Here's another one that has some of them, navyrocks:

Rob, just because your wife has been there for 4 weeks doesn't mean she is in Week #4 of training. She would have had processing weeks...they can go from a few days up to almost 2 weeks. The divisions in the PIR groups are at different levels of training and started on different days. The "brother" divisions will be at the same point, but other divisions may be a few days ahead or behind the others.

Nicole: So you are saying right now all our divisions graduating 7/8 are in week 4 now or just some. Cause my wife has been there 4 weeks as of this past tuesday. You say thats the hardest week so maybe thats why I only received one letter yesterday instead of 3 or 4 like usual. RTC said her division is one of the divisions that has to be there for 9 weeks which sux cause she got there when other groups were getting divisions for July 1st, but they filled up so she had to wait for the next round to fill up.
