My wife grew up a navy brat and she and her family were stationed in japan, ( Misawa Japan) for two tours out of many as her father served 22 years, she is currently fulfilling her life long goal to also serve her country as a united states sailor as so many of her role models did before her, just like the men and woman did when she was a little girl, now it is her turn and when I spoke with her just this last weekend she told me that it was everything she had been expecting so far except it was not as physical as she had hoped but she is still expecting it to come in the upcoming weeks, I sure do miss my lady bug,

The physical training will soon start for them. The first few weeks is spent folding, learning, dental exams and dental work, eye exams, bloodwork, uniform fittings, first aid, grooming, studying, learning commands, seamanship, marlinspike, and some PT etc. As the weeks progress the PT and IT starts happening more and more.

Good Morning All!! I know this question was answered before but I don't remember. I'm trying to get my sons phone line suspended while at boot camp but in order for Verizon to suspend his line they will need the following information -Those anyone know who the commanding officer is(name), his rank and home base I'm assuming that should be Great Lakes. Correct?
-
-
-
lkn33990, The Commanding Officers name is Captain John T Dye, and Great Lakes would be his base.
