how long is boot camp for navy
On average it's in between 8-9 weeks. The first week is just processing (medical, dental, uniform issue, etc.) and is followed by about 8 weeks of training. Times can fluctuate due to holidays but it usually stays within that range. Typically, Navy boot camp is 7-9 weeks long. The first week is all in-processing. Individuals get drug tested again, they must pass a physical and of course get their pretty little heads shaved. Honestly, in my experience the first week was the worst. We are uncomfortable, bored and bald. Once everyone is FFD (Fit for Duty) the games begin.
