I suspect that your recruit has a contract for Aviation Boatswain's Mate – Aircraft Handling (ABH), so join AB - Moms, Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!, and Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola. You may also want to check out Airman Family and Friends.
The Rating Information Card for AB can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ab.pdf. (If you get the security warning, it is safe to go there.)
Your Sailor will most likely fly out to "A" School the day after PIR, but may fly out on Sunday due to flight availability issues. Plan to leave on Sunday if you are able. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.

There is info on the RCU for you in What does ??? mean? (A Guide to Navy Abbreviations and Terminology), Ship/Division--How it Works, and Battle Stations-21 (BST).

Yes, "No news is good news!"
Recruits who are moved to the RCU are generally able to make calls every other week (usually on Saturday or Sunday), but those calls can be lost if someone in the compartment messes things up for everyone or if the recruit made a call that week following a test or other appointment.
