Very well Mr. Fleetwood! Good to see you again!
Mr. Fleetwood,
Naval Support Activity Bahrain (or NSA Bahrain) is a United States Navy base, situated in the Kingdom of Bahrain and is the home of the U.S. Naval Force Central Command and United States Fifth Fleet. It is the primary base in the region for the naval and marine activities in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
If you son is being deployed overseas, he'll first report to Bahrain and then to his fleet or foreign land. For example this base acts like MEPS, this is where your Sailor will fly in to report for duty. He will be processed there and then shipped to his duty. Just as when your son left for boot camp he went to MEPS first for his paper work and then they flew him to Chicago. Bahrain is where he will give his paperwork and then be processed to his final destination.
When my son flew to Bahrain to catch up with his fleet, he stayed there about a week there then they flew him to and landed him aboard the USS Ronald Reagan which was at sea. I'm not sure of your son's rating but this is probably the case unless he is to work there on Bahrain's base. So if he is catching his fleet, going to Afghanistan or Iraq, Bahrain will be his first stop to check in before going farther.
Hope this helps a little,
My mother-in-law passed away a few weeks ago and it took us a week to get my son in town. He was on deployment and was half wy around the world so it did take time fr the flights.
I'm not 100% sure of this but I believe he can only leave if it is immediate family mom, dad, brother or sister if he is in boot camp. I think the only exception to grandparents is if your Sailor lived with them at one point or another. What stage is he in? The Red Cross is who you contact in this situation, they are the ones that get your Sailor home. You should contact them to see if they can get him home. I'm sorry for your lose and hope your Sailor is able to come home to be with the family.
