You say you are married, be the wife your husband expects and go see him! He has made money while in boot, I am sure if you write him he will pay for it!

I was told by my husband's recruiter that my husband could get up to two weeks to come home after bootcamp.

Unless he graduates right at Christmas, that's extremely unlikely... the only people I've heard of coming home after bootcamp were ones who checked into their "A" School during holiday stand-down in December and were allowed to check out on leave.

Semantics, but AW technically no longer exists as a rating... it used to be Aviation Anti-Submarine Warfare Operator, then Electronic Systems Warfare Operator, and now is Naval Aircrewman (Operator) under the AWO rating. According to the Navy, we're sensor operators... according to CNN, we're spy plane pilots, and according to Alex Jones, we're domestic surveillance operatives. AW has always been the only rating that only exists inside an airplane... AWF, AWV, and AWS were previously ground maintenance ratings who volunteered to fly. While they merged all flying jobs under an AWx ratings in 2008, the "AW Shop" in a squadron is still the AWO workspace... and when a Pilot of AWF refers to "those f**king AW's!", he's talking about an AWO.

As far as the difference between Aircrew and A-PACT, A-PACT are undesignated Airmen who work different aviation ground jobs while trying to get assigned a maintenance rating like AE, AM, AT, etc. Aircrew are Zipper-Suited Sun Gods who walk around with undeserved senses of entitlement, leave work early because of "crew rest requirements", and generally try their best to look like Maverick and/or Goose from Top Gun.



(That's all sarcasm... unless you ask maintenance; then it's 100% factual, lol)

Yes, he said he would be coming home for 1-2 weeks.

Most recruits go home for about 10 days after A school, not after bootcamp.

Under stand this...after boot camp he wouldn't even have that many days of leave accrued on the books...yes he could go in the hole so to speak...but that is the reason they don't usually let those go on leave right after boot, but after A school when they have the time to use.
