biruis, SEPS and RCU are two different things. He'll only be put in SEPS if they have already determined that he's going home.

RCU (Recruit Convalescence Unit) is where injuries get sent. It's a holding unit in Ship 4 (or at least was when I went there), and therefore doesn't have an assigned graduation date or anything like that. Generally if you get injured at the very beginning of bootcamp, you get sent to heal up at RCU and then you start over by being ASMOed to a brand new baby division (meaning his time is basically reset).

It's unclear to me whether your husband is still in RCU (in which case, he has no graduation date and no letter has been sent) or the "good to go" part means he was being sent to a new division.

Once he has a new division, he should know his address and graduation date shortly. It will probably take 2 weeks from that time for you to receive anything.
