I saw your post asking about 8 weeks. The typical time at the RTC is 8 1/2 weeks, but it could be from 7 to 10 weeks depending on when his division formed. Actual training time is about 6 weeks and begins once P-Days are finished and the division is filled. You may hear about DOT (Day of Training); that begins with Week 1 Day 1 (1-1 DOT) on the weekday following the completion of P-Days. Weekends and holidays are not counted in DOT although your SR most likley will still have some training on those days, but there are 5 days in each week.
Your son's PIR date is June 22 because he was most likely one of the first in his division and was held over a week. There are other reasons that would cause a recruit to be held in P-Days; and if it is other than what I indicated, your SR will let you know when he writes.

The address should be SHIP 04 DIV 2341, 3600 Ohio Street, Great Lakes, IL 60088-7103. They will forward any letters written to his previous Ship. With him being sent to the RCU this early in training, he should go to a new division once he is determined to be fit for duty, and if so, he will be given a new PIR date at that time. He will have several weeks in the RCU, which will include PT. Once that is completed, he will join a division at the point that they believe he is ready to enter it, generally around the same day in training that he was removed from the former division.
