Found this on one of the FAQ pages. From what I gather, this means that Div 183 and 184 fly out first after PIR. =(
How do I estimate, early on, when his division will fly out ???
Determine when his Division Graduates and How Many other Divisions Graduate the same Day, how to do this is described further below.
Example: February 11th, 2011 graduating divisions:
063–074, 804 & 912 ( 14 divisions )
Division 63,65,65 & 66 - between 3 AM and 5 AM next day ( SAT ) bus pickup navy bus delivers them to airport terminal or charter plane
Division 071 - between 3 AM and 5 AM following TUE bus pickup
navy bus delivers them to airport terminal or charter planeSailors delivered to terminal wait until later that day or evening for fly out.
As you can see the Navy just scheduled flights out each day starting with the lowest number division and working up. Capacity limitations determine how many divisions go out each day. There has to be some system for scheduling and this is the current one used at Navy Boot Camp.

I don't think they fly out in division order, but they may be bussed to the airport in division order, and yes they leave the RTC in the wee hours of the morning. I do know they fly out according to where their A School is.
There may be 30 sailors headed to Pensacola from all the divisions in the TG, but only 10 seats on one flight, 15 on the next flight, and then five on the last flight. Because of seat availability on a flight, some Sailors arriving at the airport on the first bus may leave within a couple hours, while others may wait several hours, even when headed to the same destination.
Generally and usually (some exceptions) all Sailors leaving GL for A School will leave Saturday sometime between 3am and 5am.

On the 23rd, my son said it would probably be a couple of weeks before they would get to call again. He is 184. I certainly hope to hear from him sooner than that though!

Today's mail was difficult... our mail runs late so even my daughter in Alaska got her letter from my son before I got mine! Seems he is missing his video games and already talking about getting a new system! This letter was a good one!

I got a letter today too. Usually they come on Thursdays, but got one today. This week they did weapons turnover and I guess they got to do live fire earlier in the week.
