Bill...."Ship" represents the barracks that she is assigned to. When you get her address, it will be included. Communication is severly limited over the next 8 weeks. It is all part of the process of building a Sailor. Write to her as often as you can. She will write 1/week (usually on a Sunday) beginning around Week 3. She may get 1-2 phone calls as a reward for Divisional performance...but that is up to her RDC's. You can't communicate through Navy Dads!
About Ship 5
Ship 5 houses two groups of personnel:
• Departing Sailors who have graduated from Recruit Training Command and are awaiting orders to “A” school, also known as the Temporary Holding Unit (THU); and
• Recruits who have been removed from Recruit training for either medical or legal reasons, or failure to meet Navy standards. The majority of these personnel are awaiting their administrative discharge from the Navy.
Ship 5 is a modern, climate-controlled seven-year-old facility divided into compartments with a maximum per compartment capacity of 160 personnel.
All berthing compartments – both THU and Separations – contain a lounge area with couches or chairs, a television with DVD player, board games, and racks with books and magazines.
If she is at Great Lakes you are limited to sending letters. If there is an emergency, you use the Red Cross to get her a message.
Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Bill! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.
My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are proud of our son and his service to our country.
Join us on Facebook as well!

Once again, welcome to our site and I hope you enjoy your stay here. GO NAVY! HOOYAH!

Uncle Bill....Welcome to Navy Dads! You have found the best place to learn about what your niece is undertaking! We offer all kinds of information and support to help get you through this! Start off in the Boot Camp group and work from there. I wish Nicole the best of luck!
Welcome to NavyDads.com Bill ! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM2) was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), was attached to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) in Hawaii, was attached to VAW-125, and just transfered to VRC-40 ("Rawhides"). My daughter Kat is now a Navy veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist(MC3). If NavyDads.com were around in those early days, it would have made my first days as a Navy parent much easier!
I'm sure you'll find NavyDads.com as useful, educational and informative as I have over the past few years. Click How To Get Started for a guide on getting going in your NavyDads.com experience! I hope you take the time to explore the site and make some new friends. Read the discussions and add your comments. Browse through the postings in the various groups or start a new one. If you have any comments, questions or concerns about your sailor and what she is going through...be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. And Bill this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let us know how your niece is doing! Please remember that we talk about the Navy here and we must keep the security and safety of our sailors and the fleet in mind. On the right or starboard side of every NavyDads page is an area we call Key Information. Please take a minute and read through the Operations Security (OPSEC) link for some guidelines as to what we should not talk about in a public forum like NavyDads.com.
As an uncle of a sailor currently or soon to be at Great Lakes you'll have many questions about what Nicole is going through. In the Navy Bootcamp group is a discussion called A MUST READ for all New Navy Parents. Read through this post as it will do a lot to give you some understanding about what your sailor is learning and why. And be sure to check out the videos available in the Bootcamp Group as well and as PIR nears be sure to spend time in the PIR group for hints and helps!
Best Regards- Paul
