Q about P-days length

I've heard of this thing called a "push division" where they just rush you through the whole process apparently. I was told this by someone on RAP duty but they may have left out some details.

i was a push division and i shipped out 20nov13. the holidays kept on pdays hold for almost 2 1/2 weeks and then we were on 1-3 hold for like another week after new years. i graduated 17jan14 and we crammed all the stuff into about 2 weeks. i actually liked being a push division. even though the waiting was sooooooooo boring, once we started training we were so busy that time flew by.

That sounds awesome, I'm going to embrace whatever comes my way but from my brother told me about p-days (HM3(FMF)) - it's like a week straight of MEPS and it sucks lol

I'd say it's worse than a week of MEPS because at least you're waiting around to do something. I was on hold for 10 days. On P-Hold it's literally nothing but stenciling (aka stamping your name on your stuff), cleaning and getting yelled at. There were some times when the RDCs were bored and decided to answer our questions or tell us sea stories but, for the most part P-Hold is the worst part of boot camp.

Well I got 3 weeks until I ship and my kids are sick so I'm trying not to catch it!
