st: STATA date question

Hi Statalisters,
I'm trying to output dates that occur on the Thursday after 18 months have passed since a beginning date. For example, assume my beginning date is January 1, 2014. The Thursday after 18 months have passed from this date is July 2, 2015. In this case, I am not concerned with how many days are in each month (e.g., I don't care that January 2014 has 31 days and February 2014 has only 28). I treat month duration as equivalent regardless of days within each month. I have examined datetime but am still unsure as to how to accomplish this in STATA. Can you please suggest a way in STATA to produce this output?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration,
Ed
