OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I bet so. I think I saw where someone went in the day before Chris and has the same grad date. Can't imagine that a day or two makes much difference.

A day can make a difference...someone can come in today and PIR one week, and someone can come in the day after and have PIR a week latter....as the divisions in the PIR before them where filled up...it can even happen to people who come in the same day to bootcamp.

It will be awhile before I hear from my SR she went in 11-08-11. And with her being in BC during all 3 holidays that may make a difference in weeks possibly?

My son leaves Monday - Nov 14th - goes to Jacksonville FL MEPS - flys out

We can make a guess of January 13 or 20, but with the holidays and the skipped weeks, it could be later. You will not know for sure until you receive the form letter from your SR with the date on it.
