The only thing I really know about the buddy system though is that there is one. What are the other specifics and regulations?

From what I've read online up to 4 females can buddy up for boot camp only. Males have 2 buddy programs available to them, 1 is that same as for females, the other is to be buddies all the way to first duty station.

It is my understanding from my son's experience that you need to be in the same rate,,,my son and his BFF were nukes and were going to go together...HOWEVER, I put a stop to it...those two were a night mare in high school and I just knew they would cause or get into trouble if together! SO they went 2 months apart! lol Even when not together they seemed to cause the same trouble at boot! They couldn't stop laughing at some of the recruits when they couldn't do certain PT...my son's friend wrote me and told me that one of his RDC's even asked him if he knew my son as they acted alike! Nothing like having nukes that are actually jocks and all muscle!

Yeah the info is very helpful I just wasn't sure how current it really is hence why I made this thread. I figured someone here might have first hand knowledge on the subject

Yeah, i was glad to find this thread because I am doing the buddy system with 3 other people from my school, (there are 6 of us joining the navy out of a class of 41 students), and really needed some details as to how it worked.
