Narrative:
Our pre departure clearance 'ATC clearance' read 'btg J15 imb then as filed,' whereas the 'flight plan routing' read 'pdx imb J15 boi atl,' identical to our flight plan. On climb out off runway 10R, first officer flew a 080 degree heading to intercept the pdx 085 degree radial on the river 6 SID, and overflew the radial. I told him to urn back right and reintercept. Then departure control (118.1) told us to take up a 100 degree heading to intercept J15. I still didn't realize that instead of intercepting the pdx 085 degree radial on the SID, we were supposed to be tracking the btg 115 degree on J15 to imb. The we were subsequently given a 'further right to 130 degree heading to intercept, and asked, 'did you get a pre departure clearance?' we said 'yes, thank you for your help.' first officer again delayed entering the correct routing in the FMS, and I couldn't find J15 off btg to manually enter ht radial raw data on my VOR. The next center frequency controller said, 'that's alright, cleared direct boi.' again, my first officer did not change the FMS to direct boi until I asked him what he was doing! He seemed behind the entire flight. Supplemental information from acn 535771: this served as a wake-up call to me to be much more thorough in my flight planning and situation awareness.

Title: A B767-300 FLT FAILS TO FOLLOW THEIR ASSIGNED RTE CLRNC VIA A PDC, WITH CREW ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW THE FLT PLAN RTE FILED ON A NIGHT DEP FROM PDX, OR.
Narrative: OUR PDC 'ATC CLRNC' READ 'BTG J15 IMB THEN AS FILED,' WHEREAS THE 'FLT PLAN ROUTING' READ 'PDX IMB J15 BOI ATL,' IDENTICAL TO OUR FLT PLAN. ON CLBOUT OFF RWY 10R, FO FLEW A 080 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT THE PDX 085 DEG RADIAL ON THE RIVER 6 SID, AND OVERFLEW THE RADIAL. I TOLD HIM TO URN BACK RIGHT AND REINTERCEPT. THEN DEP CTL (118.1) TOLD US TO TAKE UP A 100 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT J15. I STILL DIDN'T REALIZE THAT INSTEAD OF INTERCEPTING THE PDX 085 DEG RADIAL ON THE SID, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TRACKING THE BTG 115 DEG ON J15 TO IMB. THE WE WERE SUBSEQUENTLY GIVEN A 'FURTHER RIGHT TO 130 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT, AND ASKED, 'DID YOU GET A PDC?' WE SAID 'YES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.' FO AGAIN DELAYED ENTERING THE CORRECT ROUTING IN THE FMS, AND I COULDN'T FIND J15 OFF BTG TO MANUALLY ENTER HT RADIAL RAW DATA ON MY VOR. THE NEXT CENTER FREQ CTLR SAID, 'THAT'S ALRIGHT, CLRED DIRECT BOI.' AGAIN, MY FO DID NOT CHANGE THE FMS TO DIRECT BOI UNTIL I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING! HE SEEMED BEHIND THE ENTIRE FLT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 535771: THIS SERVED AS A WAKE-UP CALL TO ME TO BE MUCH MORE THOROUGH IN MY FLT PLANNING AND SIT AWARENESS.
