HELP...need answers...?

Question

Is navy bootcamp the same amount of time as the marines?

Can my husband keep a keychain/dogtag with pics of his family his pocket while in bootcamp?

When he graduates bootcamp, how long will we (his mother and I) have to spend with him?

Can he make ANY phone calls?

How do I contact him if there is an emergency?

If anybody can help, I appreciate it.

Answer 1

all you have to do is ask the recruiter that got him in?

Answer 2

No.  Marine corp recruit training is 13 weeks vs. 8 weeks in the navy.

Depends on training command.  Odds are NO but he could keep it at his bunk.

An afternoon normally.

Yes but rare and sporadically.

He will contact you once he arrives with an address to write and in case of emergency you will need to contact the local red cross.

Answer 3

1. Navy basic training (they do Not call it boot camp) is 8 weeks, Marine boot camp is 13 weeks.

2. Your husband can keep a picture of his family with his other belongings next to his rack (bed).

3. You'll have the afternoon following graduation and possibly a few days dependent on when he starts his next round of school.

4. He will get 1 phone call when he arrives that will say "Recruit ___ has arrived safely at ____" *click*. He can possibly earn phone calls but don't hold your breath.

5. You contact your local Red Cross and they will get an emergency message to him.
