You are using terms that are over my head lol. Pdays are processing days? I have no idea what a push division is. So they could be just sitting there waiting for a division to fill up? Does that mean they could be there longer than their 9 weeks? I have learned something about myself through typing in these forums, I really need to learn to spell lol. Sorry for all the misspellings, hope you all can read typonese :)

From what I know, unless they are set back for a medical reason like a injury, or didn't pass their pt test, they should graduate on time, my knowledge of a push division is that they are the last one to fill the division and may come in up to a week after the others so their PIR could be 7 weeks after they started. The terms get easier as you read more but I am still totally confused about some of it!

When did your son leave? And from where? My daughter and one other left from Boise on 9/11 and I am curious if he also left from Boise.

I received the box yesterday. They didn't let him keep his watch - maybe because it was white? I haven't received my letter yet. My son went in on 9/11 so I'm assuming his PIR wil be 11/9. Maybe I will get a letter today. I'm hoping!!

To Rxdocd - They didn't let my daughter keep her watch either, it was a black Nike watch. Probably had to be real plain. I'm still waiting on the form letter. I did get her box on Friday and a much needed and unexpected call on Sunday.

Wow. A phone call. That is nice. Did she say why they let her call? I've heard that they can earn calls as rewards for something well done. Also, I went to calsforrecruits.org yesterday and they sent me 9 pre-paid phone cards for my son while he is in bootcamp. Each is worth 20 minutes and can only be used once. They said to have my son keep 6 and share the other 3 with people in boot camp who need them. They were very prompt in responding.
