NAVY BOOT CAMP

Comment

Just had the 1st call home from our daughter in Boot Camp.

She was all crying and stuff. Said that she is REALLY homesick.

Makes me feel guilty about suggesting that she join.

I know that she'll get over it, but it still makes me sad and guilty.

Paul, yes, as a Navy retiree myself, I can tell you there's a ton of stuff that can bite a sailor in the butt. The combined knowledge base of this group can help these young blue jackets from learning the hard way and also help those that love and support them cope and understand some of the stuff they may be dealing with. Proud to offer my insights and grateful for that of others.

Just want to make an editorial comment here...we see a lot of members join and use the site for boot camp and then effectively never use the site again after PIR.  I've been dealing with the Navy since '05--- my daughters PIR was in OCT '05 and my son's PIR was in Apr '07......and I've had a bazillion more questions about Navy life post-PIR than I ever did about Boot Camp.....PCS moves, getting married, legal issues while deployed, mail and phone contracts, care packages, holidays, leave, airline and transportation issues and issues, uniform allowances, benefits and insurance costs, family issues like funerals, buying and selling cars, etc., etc.- and about a million other things....stay active and ask your questions!  There is a wealth of information available for you....use this as a resource to make the following years  less stressful !!!!
