Buddy program

NavyPanther · 11-28-2014, 01:06 AM

I've heard about the buddy program. Is it something they still offer? A friend told me she is intetested in joining. We are both female so is it possible to go to RTC together?

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I heard..... nope. they do not. they an fill all their slots without having to go through the hassle of trying to accommodate a request like this.

But it is possible to get the same ship dates.. as my buddy and I have the same ship date. I would think going to meps to pick a rating at the same time would better the chances but I wouldn't count on it though.

No, the buddy system's still a thing, but I believe you have to pick rates that ship on the same day. That might limit your choices. It's also only for bootcamp and doesn't guarantee that neither of you will be asmoed.

Males who are PACT can sign up for a version that extends to the first duty station, but females aren't eligible (and I wouldn't generally recommend PACT anyway).

Is there a limit to how many people can do the buddy system together?
