How the "Ships" (Barracks) work at boot camp...

[bronxCTM]

- What people get messed up on is they think each ship graduates (PIR) on the same date. It doesn't. One a few divisions will graduate. You can a couple divisions from USS Triton Ship-12, a couple from USS Arizona Ship 14, maybe 4 divisions the USS Kearsarge Ship 11, and maybe four divisions from the USS Chicago Ship 7. So at PIR (graduation) many ships are represented.

Yes, this is something I got mixed up too before boot camp...all the ships have divisions assigned to them--and also RDCs apparently, as in the RDCs have trained other and will train future divisions from that ship. They take pride in their ships as well.
