Arrangements. She arrived Nov 5th.

date should be close, but I'd wait:

Typically the first 4-10 days after the new recruits arrive at RTC are called Processing Days or P-Days. Around holidays and sometimes for unforeseen issues (flight delays, severe weather, etc.) P-days can last up to 14 days. Although recruits are assigned to a ship and division upon arrival, these assignments are not final and they do not move to their designated ship until P-days are over. Unplanned events may change that ship assignment. Your sailor's recruiter may give you an address a day or two after your recruit arrived at Great Lakes with a particular division that may not be final. This is why NavyDads always advises you to wait for your sailor's form letter with his or her correct address. That letter typically arrives 5-10 days after they have shipped to RTC.

My son arrived last night, 11/13, and by the following morning, 11/14, his recruiter gave me his address and PIR date of 9 Jan 15. Is that reliable? or should we wait for our recruit to tell us the date. My wife and I will be headed to PIR, however, I am very hesitant at this point to start planning a trip.

Hey Phillip, We just got our daughters today as well. The neighbor signed for it and carried it over to us as soon as we arrived home.  Just counting the days till we receive the first Letter and Phone call. Hanging in there !!!

Gary just got the dreaded brown box today

My daughter left Nov 5th and we received her call at 10:35 pm that night. The same generic call ..... about 30 secs . We are waiting for her box and then the letter. I am figuring her PIR will be Jan 9th . I also hear that there will be no Grads (PIR) on Dec 26th or Jan 2nd. It would have to be the 9th. Looks like they will spend an extra week at BC cause of the Holidays !!
