I hear you on the waiting seems forever, my other son joined the navy 2 years ago and it seemed like forever to get a letter!!!!  I was in the Navy myself 27 years ago!!!!! and we started that night also..... it was Jan 2 1985 and we though we were going to die it was so cold...texas boys aren't used to that!!!!

I think it would be Aug 3rd.

My son left May 24th and he just got assigned to a division at the end of last week.
His PIR is July 20th.

They spend the first five days in processing, medical / dental checks, ect... These days do NOT count.

This is much different from the Air Force, or 27 years ago. We started that night.

I got his clothes last week, Monday and today I got his letter with the PIR date, and mailing info. It seemed like a year went by in the past two weeks waiting for a letter.
