Since you have a Sailor, you can change "At Boot Camp now" above to “Enlisted.”
If you get an error message, then look at the area/s in the error message and unclick all of the choices in the area/s and make choices closer to the question/s. Some choices may have changed since you joined.

Just saw your post and wanted to answer any questions you have. My Sailor just graduated this weekend. Make sure you attend Sarge's Meet and Greet as you will sit with other families of your Sailor's ship. He does a fabulous job, plays music, people dance (or not) take group photos holding your sailor's flag, and then eat! He stands in the line and shakes absolutely everybody's hand and has a brief conversation. He is the real deal. We stayed at Navy Lodge and hung up the anchor we made. The Lodge is very close to the PIR, clean, comfortable and affordable $75 per night.
All sailors ship the very next day. The buses roll early (think midnight) and will leave from either O'Hare (20 minutes or so from GL) or Midway (and hour or so). Ours was interesting as there was a huge snow storm that stranded everyone.
Any questions, please let me know... Go Navy!!! You will be thrilled beyond belief. Congratulations Mom!
