I am in the same boat as you! We received his package yesterday, but did not get an address to write to him. I thought we would get a letter with the package giving us PIR info. I am a mental mess! Thank you all for the warm welcome.

My son arrived the same day and I have been wondering the same thing.  We have a friend whose son arrived on Nov. 1st and they found out yesterday that he graduates on 12-28 so it stands to reason that you are correct thinking Jan. 4th.  In a way I hope it gets pushed back to the 11th because airfare will be alot cheaper than it is that close to the holidays.  No matter when it is my wife and I will be there.

We haven't recieved his address yet so hopefully soon.  We got the box a couple of days ago. I will post if I hear anything about graduation.  Please do the same...Thanks

Brady,

I got the envelope today with my sons address and graduation date.  He will graduate on January 4th and his address is:

SR Wescovich, Aaron, M

Ship 11 Div 049

Recruit Training Command

3505 Sailor Drive

Great Lakes, IL 60088-3503

 

It looks like our recruits will graduate the same day but be on different ships and divisions.

I would venture that the graduation would be pushed back a few days to compensate for the days that don't count as official training days, even though they will be training.I went through basic during the holidays, many years ago, and the holidays pushed my graduation day back by 5 days. My son got to RTC on the 6th as well and we are guessing that his graduation will be the week of the 11th. If i get any word from him and it hasn't been posted here, I will gladly post....
