MsMaria most rcts are in Processing for a week...more or less so don't start actual boot camp till they are through with that.
RTC and BC are the same. RTC is just where BC is located.
The date on the form letter will be the PIR date regardless of how long they are in processing. Some of the things that will change the PIR date are if they get sick, fail a test, have disaplinary issues, fail some part of the physical tests, etc.
They are suppose to call you ASAP if their PIR is going to change.

I received my son's form letter on Saturday and he had written a small note note on the bottom. He left for BC on 10/6 and his letter said his PIR is 12/3. He mentioned that he was in the rush division 6.5 weeks.

From my understanding the rush division is rush through boot camp because of the holidays. My sons recruiter told me that the only time Navy takes off is Christmas and they all take their vacation at that time so they are in rush division so none of them run into the holiday due to maybe not passing something and their PIR being delayed. Hope this helps.

He did not mention but left 10-6 PIR 12/3 doesn't sound like much of a rush to me, but his recruiter did say they were in an accelerated program.
