Husband in Navy...I have lots of questions..?

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

Navy bootcamp is 8 weeks

I'm not entirely sure on the pictures. I think so.

It depends on his time off. It depends on when his "A" school starts. That's his job training school. If it's in two weeks. You get him for two weeks. If it's in two days. You only get him for two days.

I believe he can make one phone call a week, and thats usually on Sunday. Don't get worried if he doesn't call though because he will be tired  as anything and will probably want to rest. Once he gets to his "A" school you will hear from him everyday.

I believe you can call there office and tell them the deal.

Answer 2

Boot Camp is nine weeks including Processing Week.  MC Boot is 13 weeks.

No.   he can stow it in his locker though.  

anywhere from a few hours to most of the weekend.  If he is Grad N go, he will go directly to his A school.  If not he will have Liberty from release on Friday( long about Lunch time) to 10pm.  Saturday.. Liberty from mid morning to 10 Pm.  Sunday.. Mid morning to 9 pm.    exact time will vary.  also if he has a watch, he cannot leave base until he has stood the watch.  so if he has a watch from 3-6 PM on Saturday..he will not  be permitted to leave the base until after 6 pm.  

he will be given ONE phone when he first arrives to say" I have arrived."  all others must be earned.  My DH got exactly three..all his last week.  the Stepson got three.. and was NOT permitted to call on Christmas day.  

you would use the American Red Cross.  An  Emergency being for nothing less than a death of an immediate relative.  

Answer 3

Generally 8 weeks though things may happen which could extend it.

No keychains.

Graduation day he will have the afternoon free, and the following weekend free.

Phone calls are once a week.

Contact his command.
