Push Division PIR 11-12-10

Posted by Ralph Salinas on October 25, 2010 at 10:21am in Bootcamp Forum

My son stated he was in a push division and I was wondering if any one could give me a little more insight to what this means. I have a basic understanding but would like to know how they play "catch up " and graduate in seven weeks and not eight.

    Thanks for the information. lol. I guess we better get used to this. They (The Navy) will tell us when they want us to know what our sons are doing.

    just to clarify--- this is a response from RTC about us trying to get info about BS21:

    "Sir,

    We do not give out any specific training schedules of the recruits including Battle Stations. Your recruit is the only who is allowed to give you that information.

    Respectfully,

    Your sailors must be communicating with their moms more than their dads!!!

    Hi Ralph, Do you have a guess as to when they will be doing BS21?

    I agree with you about being a proud Navy Dad. I'm glad your son is doing fine. I am already very proud of everything my son has accomplished and can't wait to see him marching in with his division.

    Hey Dan,

    My son left for bookcamp a week later than the other divisions and was told they would work hard to catch up to graduate on 11-12-10. My son is in DIV 370 and seems to be doing fine. I think 369 & 370 will be doing BS21 together ,if the ladies have the dates right. I cant wait for PIR myself ,i will be one proud Navy DAD!

    Hi Ralph, I'm not sure of how they play "catch up". My son is also scheduled for PIR on 11/12/2010. He's in DIV 369. We've received some mail, but he's pretty vague on what's going on. I am really looking forward to the PIR!
