BS21 for PIR 01 Nov

I have a question regarding Battle Stations. There are so many people with different opinions it gets frustrating reading it all. I don’t want specific dates BUT want to know - will ANY of the divisions that are graduating on 01 Nov start BS before Sunday? I am sure that I saw a post that said they would start on either Sun or Mon. I’m not expecting my I’m a Sailor call until at least Wed but some are setting their hopes on receiving them this week. This week the calls would be from the SRs in PIR for this Friday, correct?

I'm not an expert but I would expect the I'm a Sailor calls THIS week for the PIR on this Friday - the following week is when I would expect the calls for the following Friday.

Basing this on my experience when my sailor had PIR back in 2016 - we were already on the road to Chicago when we got the call - Wednesday, I think for a Friday PIR

That’s what I thought too. Some days I have to stop reading posts on fb because I get so frustrated with incorrect info and false hopes. I’m leaving Thursday morning so I’m hoping to get my son’s call on Wed lol

Will you be able to attend Sarge's Meet N Greet?  It's on Thursday night - definitely worth attending if you are able.  You do need to RSVP for it.

Hi NavyMom9519 - the best place to get answers regarding BS for your group is in your PIR group.  And you should have the call by Wednesday of your PIR week.  Here's the link:
