bootcamp graduation ceremony info
My son recently left for bootcamp. I'm adjusting to the pain of missing him. My main question here though is regarding the letter I rec'd with info/website for ceremony information/tickets. They gave us a website of www.bootcamp.navy.mil and we can't seem to access this site at all. It goes to a page indicating not available. This seems to be the only way we can print our entry tickets to ceremony, etc. They did include a password when we do get on site, but as said, we can't access at all. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated. I also want to wish all of you out there a Happy 4th of July. My pain is eased by the proud feeling we are overwhelmed with. Best to you all!!

hm - I clicked on your link and it went right to it. You may have a setting on your computer blocking it.
Try another computer. Also, I remember a discussion about people having problem getting on it - so search this website and you might find how they resolved the issue.

Both the www.bootcamp.navy.mil and
http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/upcoming_grads.asp work.
IF switching computers don't do it, try downloading the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and install it as your browser. It is free. I am using Firefox right now. Here is the link:

We are able to get on the site with no problem now thanks to the advice of all you moms out there. Mozilla Firefox was the route to take. We had a block of some sort and that allowed us access. Good luck and thank you to all of you out there who helped. Best wishes to all!!

Hello...I am sorry for your pain. I really get it. My son has been gone for two and a half months. The pain doesn't get better, but keep writing him, letting him know how much you miss him. Prayer works! Prayer calms my fears and spirit and as a parent there is nothing scarier than a child going off and then having no contact with them. Believe me, they are busy! Don't take it personal. Trust God like you have never trusted before! Blind faith that all will be well will get you through this time.
The access to graduation parking pass doesn't work until 5 days before graduation. Relax. Pray for him and keep your loved one's close because thats the only way you will get through it!
