My boyfriend shipped out for bootcamp on 20130313, but his flight to Chicago ended up cancelled last minute and they couldn't get him (and those with him) out until the following morning. His flight landed in Chicago at 8:10am on 20130314 but the recruiters weren't able to transport them to RTC until 5pm that day. Long story short, he's in a push division too now, because he's graduating after only 7 weeks also. I'm assuming it has to do with arrival.

O'hare historically has a lot of delays and cancellations, ESP in near winter months.

My division was considered a push division. I was there 8 weeks total including processing. We finished battle stations a week and a half before we graduated so we pretty much did nothing the last week there. Lots of cleaning and our RDC were pretty much no where to be found.

Must have been nice to have had a week doing nothing. I was a push division, but we were really short on time at the end. I think we did 3 major things in one night. I believe it was Exam 3, Final PRT, and Battle Stations all within 48 hours. Then the next day was our PIR.
I can't remember exactly, but I know for sure we finished one major thing right before Battle Stations, then the day after we had PIR.
