Curious? Thinking about my SR
I have read the info about the processing days and I am curious as to which day you think my SR is on? He arrived Monday evening, we got the "I'm here" call at midnight. Would he be on day P-3? Of course, it's the mom and nurturing side of me who wonders what his day is like....Eating enough? Sleeping enough? Are the wisdom teeth being pulled out, LOL, etc.
I know, I know.....most of you have been there, done that!

My SR arrived in GL on March 12th, when I talked to him last Saturday he said he was on day 1-5 of training. Hope that helps.

I know it's mind boggling. They are eating enough but probably not sleeping enough! They are awake for hours on end in P days. They get used to it real quick. Ask your sailor to write what training day they are on when you get a phone call or are able to write to him/her. That will help you keep track. We had a calendar but it was not always accurate but gave us an idea on the training schedule.

For our purposes, for a guestimate, say that P-1 started at 0400 the morning after arrival. The wisdom teeth don't come out in P-days. They get a dental exam and x-rays during P-days, but wisdom teeth removal is scheduled for later. See the info in Ship/Division--How it Works on the USS Red Rover and the USS Osborne.
Write to your recruit and ask him to provide the DOT and calendar date and then you will have a better idea,

Make sure to leave a signed and dated note for the FedEx driver to leave "the box" if you are not there. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
