I have a question though @lemonelephant. His PIR is 5 August so while this starts his third week there, PIR is still 7 weeks away. I've been trying to gage what he is doing based on the Navy Boot Camp Timeline At a Glance site and since he has been there two full weeks already I assumed this was week three. Week one is in processing. Week two is confidence and week three is hands on. So I assumed he was starting hands on this week. However by that schedule he would have PIR 29 June. Since I know that's not the case he must be in week two. So did he do in processing for 12 days? Thanks for your help.

Momof2, by counting 9 Fridays from the date he arrived, 06/07/2016, PIR would most likely be 08/05/2016 and that is indeed his PIR date. Since he is in one of the first divisions in the 08/05/2016 TG he will be finishing his training in the week before PIR. Write to him and ask him to date a letter with the calendar date and DOT so that you can know where he is in the training schedule so you can follow along more or less using http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433. (Remember that his schedule may not be exactly as that, but it will be close.) Also ask him when Battle Stations-21 (BST) will be so you will know when to expect the "I'm a Sailor!" call.
He most likely begins Week 2 DOT one day this week. Remember that the first week is P-days and does not count in the training days.
