ok, so before navy boot camp, i go to the hotel a night before, then i wake up at 4am and go to MEPS. my question is, will i be sitting at MEPS waiting all day long until the bus comes to bring us to the airport?

The night before I leave for boot camp I’ll be staying at a hotel. Should I wear the same clothes for those last couple days, or change what do people regularly do.

I am going in april to my fiances graduation for boot camp and need a good hotel around the Training Base in Great Lakes! Any place you have been that is good or a place to stay away from! Thanks!!!!

I heard that there are a lot of rules after Navy boot camp during liberty and I was wondering if anyone knew what these were? My boyfriend is graduating soon and I was told that they are not able to consume any alcohol, be out of uniform, they need to be back at base by 8-10PM and they are not able to go to a hotel. Can anyone confirm these rules for me and let me know what other rules there may be and if there is a listing of these rules online. Also, what are the rules governing leave. Do those who will be going to Coronado for SEAL BUD/S training have 2 weeks off prior. Thanks.

He is stationed in camp foster and the hotels on base are all booked up for the dates i can visit. Is there any hotels near by that i can stay @ that aren’t too expensive??? Im going for 2 weeks.

I am a Navy civilian soon to be sent to Djibouti. We are told we will be staying on base (because there are no hotels nearby?), and we’re guessing this means Camp Lemonier. We have heard that they live in tents or container living units. What are these like? Do the CLUs have bathrooms? Is the area very dangerous? They say we’ll be very safe, but we are reading otherwise on the Internet! Any information from anyone stationed there would be appreciated!

My boyfriend is going to graduate from Marine boot camp in July, and I’m the one who’s trying to coordinate everything because his mom doesn’t have internet access or a credit card.

We’re from Michigan, so I’m wondering if anyone knew the best way to go about this. Also, my boyfriend wrote that his Senior Drill Sergeant mentioned that hotels on base are a lot cheaper, but I can’t find much information about this, or if there is actually any. I’m assuming that if they’re on base, they’d be a lot closer to him as well, so I (and his family) would prefer that. I’m also not sure what place I should go to try to arrange flights, or if I can buy his ticket back and send it to him so he’d be on the same flight as us.

Any suggestions on anything? Thank you if you can help!

what is P.O.V?
