When will my fiancees grad be from Navy bootcamp if he leaves Dec 11th??

Question

My fiancee leaves for bootcamp for the Navy on Dec 11th of this year.. I know its 2 months but do they go by 2 months exactly or is there a certain amount of days?? I am trying to plan a wedding date soo I kind of need the specifics and asking his recruiter is hopeless. Then after bootcamp he goes to FL for training for 3 months. Sooo with the bootcamp and training any1 have a clue when he will be back ?? A general area?? Some1 that actually went into the Navy would be a great help!! Thanks sooo much.

Answer 1

Normally I would say that nothing is impossible, but giving you a specific date for this absolutely is.

First, it will depend on how long his division goes through their processing stage. Mine lasted 2 and a half weeks, but other people that I knew had theirs done in around a week. Next, he will have an 8 week training schedule, but it may not be exactly 8 weeks. Week 6 (when I went through 8 years ago) was service week when everybody had to clean dishes and do other jobs. My service week lasted 4 days cuz my division was the last one out of the graduating class. The division that started as we were leaving were told that their service week would last nearly 2 weeks cuz they were the first division in the next graduating class. After graduating, the first division in my graduating class left a week before my division even though we graduated on the same day, so you'd have to take that into account as well.

Not only do you have these schedule possibilities to contend with, but there is also the possibility that he could screw something up/piss his division commanders off and get sent to another division in the next graduating classes (or possibly even later).

If you're planning on having a big wedding with your family and friends and what not, I wouldn't plan on having it until after he completes his training. So don't pick a date until he gets to his training command and they tell him when he should be graduating. He should hopefully get a week or two from the time that he graduates until he has to be at his permanent duty station. When I was in, this vacation/leave time was when most of my friends decided to have their weddings, so they showed up to their permanent duty station with their wives.

If you aren't looking to have a big wedding, you can get married on a weekend or something while your husband is going through training, but don't expect him to be allowed time off for a honeymoon or anything. Since its only a 3 month school, they may not have base housing for you guys, so you may experience problems with your living conditions during that time as well.

Answer 2

I am active duty Navy. I went to boot camp March 7th and graduated April 28th. I actually left boot camp May 4th. It's not exactly that cut and dry. It depends on a couple of different factors. For instance, how quickly he is processed into the Navy. The initial processing can take 3 days to 2 weeks. It also depends on the division that your fiance is assigned to. And, lastly. It depends on your fiance. If your fiance screws up in boot camp, he can be sent back in training. And, they will keep him there until he gets it right. I went to IT "A" school which was three months as well... I started my "A" school training May 5th and finished July 21st. My advice would be get married before he leaves or wait until he's done with training.

Answer 3

do not even TRY to plan a wedding until AFTER he reports to his duty station. Seriously. so many things could happen to change his graduation dates, and most of them would not be his to control.

Answer 4

properly, for remembering the order they pass in I only make a chant out of it for the reason that I constantly have been given them mixed up: To take, to stroll, To checklist, to repeat, To quit, To recieve, to talk, to furnish, to call, To salute, To be, those are the orders to the sentry.
