Questions about IPBC

[BearlingBababeano]

Howdy!
Got picked up for IP recently, but I had some questions about IPBC, since there seems to be some conflicting information on MyNavyHR.
Do freshly commissioned IPs go straight to IPBC at Virginia Beach, or do they do the 5 week course at Pensacola first? Are you allowed to get your own apartment at IPBC, or is it a dorms only situation? And what duty stations are available to IPs fresh out of IPBC? I've seen some info that says there are only ~4 locations, but that thread on this forum is YEARS old, so I've got no idea how accurate it is.

Thanks!

Where is the info conflicting?

Where is the info conflicting?

Can't find where it says IPs hit Pensacola, but I'm sure I read it somewhere. IP POCR says IPBC then IWCB. IP OCS info says IWCB then IPBC. IP Community Info Sheet says IPBC then DIVO. Not a huge deal, but it'd still be nice to know some details.

Either way and not to sound rude, but shouldn't you focus more on OCS and less on trying to find a place to live post OCS? You will have a decent amount of time to prepare before you start schooling/training.

Not disagreeing on that, but never hurts to have more info. My AFROTC friends were curious (they just got their EADs and bases) and when I went lookin' I realized there wasn't any good info out there.
