Every week begins a new cycle. Should a recruit have problems and be held back, they will join a division in training and do not have to start from square 1....

TG stands for Training Group which is defined as that group of recruits that graduate on the same PIR day. Training Groups are numbered sequentially and start with TG 01. TG 01 the training group that begins training the first week of October (when the Navy fiscal year begins). Most of the recruits in TG 01 arrived at RTC the last week of September. Over the last few years, TG’s can have as few as 4 Divisions and as many as 15 divisions. Pass in Review (PIR) is held in Midway Ceremonial Hall (also called the Drill Hall) and was built to accommodate up to 16 divisions. In theory there could be as many as 52 TG's in a year, but RTC skips about 4 weeks each year. As a general rule, the week of the fiscal year is the TG number.
