My son just got to the Navy boot camp and I haven't heard from him. Is anyone having this issue? I'm pretty nervous

You will hear from him soon be patient they don't allow them to make phone call's right off hand. You got this mama 💪🏽

This is normal process for Naval (and other military) recruits. It takes some time for them to adapted to change, barracks assignments, uniform issuing, medical check ups ect. All recruits are required to call home at set intervals and the first call can take a week or two based on when they came into post and how long they take to some of the other things done. If any were wrong, you would be notified. Best way to handle military life (which you are now part of, since you have a family member in) NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. Hard but true. Take from from a military member and family member for a whole lifetime. Fair winds and following sea.

All is well Mom, it part of the process.... please stay strong. Thanks to your Son for his services.

I have the same worries. Glad to know I’m not alone.

Remember once your son or in my case daughter gets to boot camp the military doesn't worry about the families at home they are only worried about the recruit. The navy will get around to letting them call on there time trust me I did 8 years and there moto was if they don't give it to you then you don't need it or matter. So we as parents have to be strong and wait out for the times they are allowed to can. But once they get out of boot camp and go to A school things will be a lot easier. Just the first 8 weeks will be hell and I know because my daughter just left to arrive in great lakes today

It was the same 60 plus years ago

I'm glad to hear parent's ask and answer questions my son is here in Illinois just 1week and some days and I'm getting nervous too. but thanks to the chati know he will be calling soon .😚

Your call will come,but it will be short,like .....mom I'm here,I'm alive,talk when I can bye

.I miss my wife I don't like this feeling one bit 😞

You'll get a letter in the mail soon. Cherish it. Man or woman hood. Priceless. Who can ask for anything more. Next will be emails from around the world. NAVY STRONG.

Your son is in boot camp, their rules are followed to the letter, I'd say give him a month and you'll hear from him, I know it's hard but he's becoming a man, but that's what mother's do, they worry, and you're like a million other mother's out there and it's what mother's do!

He will call within 3 weeks of boot camp and the first day for like 60 seconds!

They're allowed one minute to attempt to make a collect call on a payphone. Some people don't manage it 😂 I was one of them. First time I ever used a payphone 🤷‍♂️

Not to worry mom/dad, that is part of the training.

No worries. I went through boot camp there. Boot camp is a separate base from the main base. Your kids safe. About a mile from what's happening

It’s boot camp. Smh. 🧐

Dont feel bad because my sister leave out tomorrow and I'm already nervous about it

Don't worry, it's normal

My son is a Navy Recruit. He went in on December 14th. Who can i call to find out his graduation date

I'm in the same boat. It's been 3 weeks. When I went to boot camp in 1978 we were instructed to write a letter home the day we got our drill instructors. That was 3 days after my arrival. So yeah I'm getting concerned as well

No worries your kids are in Great Mistakes now
