Woah hooyahsuzy be careful not to assume and jump to conclusions. When she booked the navy lodge she had nooo idea that it was off limits to him. She assumed all was well since she and him stayed there just a month prior during PIR weekend.She enjoyed the lodge and it was inexpensive which was important to her. If she was aware of that rule she wouldn't have done it. Relax.

I hate to say this but everyone is right. Follow the rules look out for your husband boyfriend or whoever that is in there. Just remember the military can punish you and when he gets transferred to his base your name will not be on his orders and you will be left behind. A good friend of mine had that happen to him. His wife broke the rules kept sending cookies and books at the lodge. When he got his orders he was sent to Japan and being a e1-e3 you can't take family. You can bet that was done on purpose. His wife was pissed and told his husband follow the rules next time. Just follow the damm rules. Like anti m says this is a open page anyone can read this and if you don't think people from the military does not read this you are In fairy tale world. Just like in my job being a cop. My department looks at my Facebook Twitter or whatever. You are now being paid by tax payers and everything you say and do are held in a higher light and your expected to follow the rules plain and simple.

So glad to hear that NavyGF! In a strange way I liked bootcamp because it made my sailor realize how important it was to him, distance really does make the heart grow fonder! Letters are seriously the best aren't they? Now you have nothing to worry about and you can attend the graduation with no worries :) you don't have to but are you going to talk to his mom and explain that the 4 people he listed are the only 4 allowed in the ceremony? It might be awkward for her and the rest of the fam to figure that out the day of.

Good Afternoon Everyone! I am on such a wonderful mood today. Found out that I got an 85 on an exam and I got a letter from my recruit. In the letter he said and I quote "they gave us the form to fill out for the access list for graduation; your name is first on the list"!!! He just don't know how happy reading that made me. Jeez I love that guy!!! Hope you all are having a wonderful day as well.

I'm not picking on you Bronco, just remember, anyone in the world can read everything on this group.  It matters more over on the boot camp group, but you never know who is going to stumble across this place with a google search.

I have heard of chits for girlfriends to be liberty buddies, but that is hit or miss for getting approved.  Yes, there is supposed to be a buddy, and they are supposed to be together the entire day.  The trick to getting away with it is never admit it, never talk about it, and never post it anywhere.  Only takes one disgruntled person to see your post and bitch about it to the wrong ears.  The Navy is a small world that way.  

That is probably how the wives got away with Gateway Suites.  No one noticed, and no one was given a reason to notice.  

LOL, the Navy knows what sailors get up to, that's why there are liberty buddies.  I never had any, and I am amazed I never got into trouble; had plenty of opportunity!!!

Thank you @bronco14 and @AnitaM for the quick responses! I thought I read that but he thought it was okay to stay there because his friends wives stayed there, but they might have just got lucky. I wouldn't want to take the chance! And yes, we are not expecting any chit to be approved like overnight because one messed it up for the whole group. He's in Phase 2 and still will be when I visit. Will he still need Liberty Buddies at this point?

Great Lakes Gateway Suites are specifically off limits to A school students.  He cannot book a room there.  Off base is your only choice.

Question: Do sailors have to put in a chit or request to have us stay on base? I don't have a military ID so he would need to be my "escort." Someone in his group got them in trouble last week and the instructors said they will not be allowed to put in any "paperwork" for anyone visiting them. Just trying to figure out if he should look into Navy Gateway or just somewhere off base because of this. He's in Great Lakes. Thanks guys!

Hey! My husband didn't want to buy his pics they took in bootcamp, and said he can just get them done somewhere else. I know he probably won't do that so I'm just wondering if I could still buy them. I know I read somewhere that you can call the nex photo lab, but I don't remember how long they actually keep them. Can anyone help me out?
