Over the years BS21 has traditionally started anywhere from the Sat before PIR to the Thursday prior to PIR....ALWAYS assume everything is on track unless you hear otherwise.

I am not sure but from what I have been able to gather the latter divisions in the training group will go later, so my son 308 and was the last division of this PIR group. So I can at least assume yours will not be as close to PIR as mine.

don't count on it...I've heard of totally random order of paired divisions into BS21

Oh trust me I am not. I have been frustrated with one of the sister sites that puts the banner up and states with absolute, that's exactly how it happens week to week and if your weeks running Tues. thru Monday for example then on Thursday what it says on week 5 day 3 that is what they will be doing. About all I can gather is you will know for sure when the call comes that it's over, and you know at some point they will do it.

One dad told me when his son said our division was and it matched up with the way he said our weeks run, but I have seen cases of parents hearing Thursday night before PIR

I like Toms advice, relax the call will come, that's all we can do.

You got it John. Just keep the phone handy and wait. When I got my call, it was a very emotional time for my son and me! Tears of joy!

My daughter is graduating Sept. 2nd also.  The last letter we received said that her division (299) was going into Battle Stations 21 on Sept.....  She is on ship 12, USS Triton.  I cannot wait to receive the call from her after they complete this.  Good luck to your son.  I hope this info was helpful.
