Week 1

Hello everyone, I have a question for anyone who may know. The question is, does the navy have zero week? I know when I went in the army back in 1993 I spent 2 weeks in reception then my first week in basic training was zero week so didn't count. My 8 weeks actually started after zero week. I have not received a letter from my son yet as to what division he is in or when the graduation date is. His mother and I need to make plans a head of time so we can be there. I don't even know if he is actually in boot camp yet or really how the navy operates. Before he left I was told he will be mailing me his cell phone, I got a box in the mail with his clothes but no phone, hope they kept it there and didn't get lost. Also when he arrived in great lakes I got a 2 second phone call saying he was there and that I would get a letter in a couple day but no letter and he got there last Monday. Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me?

  • Did you check all the pockets & inside his shoes? Sometimes they will put it there to keep it safe!
  • My son's phone was in his box with his clothes, so that's odd. Also their first week is processing then the second week actually starts the 1st week of training. We got a phone call after his second week there and he finally got to write on his second Sunday there. If he did write I should have a letter in the mail today. My son is at the end of his 3rd week there and second week of training. Good luck!
