My son left for Boot Camp on 8/16/2012. He says he's on Ship 3 Div 338... ??? Anyone else???
My son left for Boot Camp on August 16, 2012. He called last week and said he was on Ship 3 and Division 338; however, I have not received his form letter with his address or Graduation date as of yet. I did receive his "box".... I was wondering if anyone else s "kid"- "son or daughter" has the same ship number, ship off date????? He also mentioned that he was in P-days for two weeks instead of one due to waiting for more recruits... Looking forward to hearing from someone.

Join the group, PIR 10/12/2012 TG 48 - 14 Divisions (327-338, 822 & 948. Know that divisions 337 and 338 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so watch for others with loved ones in either division.
I see you have joined Boot Camp Mom's; you may also want to join, or at least check out, PIR Reference Information and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of information for you in thos groups as well.

So is the PIR expected on 10/12? When Cody called he said his Division was delayed in P-days for two weeks and he just started BC training last week. I was fortunate enough to talk with him quite awhile because of security clearance questions. I figured his PIR wouldnt be till 10/26 or so... but I didnt receive my form letter...

That division has PIR on 10/12/2012. The training at the RTC is actually only 6 weeks so the extended P-days does not affect that. From what you said, he is in a Push Division and some of those with him will only be at BC for 7 to 7 1/2 weeks rather than the just over 8 weeks (typical is 8 1/2 weeks) that your SR wwill be there.
I answered about the form letter following another of your replies. (See http://www.navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/forum/topics/i-finall....)

Hi there.... I didn't get my SR's box until last week.. I never received the form letter or a personal letter as of yet; however, I have received several phone calls. Mostly because of questions for his clearance. I'm wondering if maybe I'm not getting things faster because I live in the mountains. Not sure... but I'm kinda stressed over not knowing his address or the date of PIR for a fact. I only know that he said he was in Ship 3 - Div 338 and that P-days were for two weeks. Thank you Navy Moms....

Since your SR gave you the Division number, you know the PIR date is 10/12/2012. Go ahead and start making plans to attend PIR. That date has been confirmed by others who have received the form letter.
His address is:
SR Last Name, First Name MI
Ship 3 Division 338
3600 Ohio Street
Great Lakes, IL 60088-3156

If you are still unsure..I would contact his/her recruiter...my son's recruiter called me with address and graduation date long before I got THE letter...that way you can start making your plans for graduation...Good Luck
