What Happens at Boot Camp - Day-per-Day? (Up to week #6)
This is from the NavyDEP site. Craig who is an advisor on this site is retired Navy and very active in helping DEPpers and their families prepare for Boot Camp. This was written by one of the recruits to “pay it forward” to those behind her to help them out as Craig and all the others on NavyDEP website.
What happens at bootcamp - Day-per-Day? (Up to week #6)
The weeks of BC:
The first week is "P" days, the next six is specific training and classroom time (though they are learning things during "P" days, marching, making there rack etc.), and then the end of the sixth week to the end of BC is BS21, Captains Cup and PIR.
"P" days DO NOT count in the "counting" of days in BC. So 1-1 is the first day after "P" days ends...Saturdays and Sundays do not count either. So, if 1-1 is on a Tuesday...2-1 will be the next Tuesday (and yes a holiday will adjust this...don't ask me to figure it out right now...my head is spinning)

If Saturday's don't count, does that mean that they get "holiday" like on Sunday's? I'm not sure if I saw it on that link about what they do on Saturday's

You know...I 'll have to ask my son what they did on Saturdays. It did not have holiday routine and you can bet they were not idle! I am going to bet that the barracks were probably cleaned that day, laundry, PT, studying. I'll ask him.

I just would like to say FireTeamLeaderWife, this link is so helpful and I hope others are referring to it as well. I started to mark on my calendar the schedule my SR might be following. Even though I might be a little off, it is so nice to have an idea of what their doing on what day. Each day I write my letter, I can ask my SR what his experience was like with whatever event took place that day. He must be wondering "how does she know all of this!?!?"
