I was wondering the same thing..

While this question is being asked -- What about absentee ballot while they are deployed also?

[Retired Navy Chief]

I never thought about voting during bootcamp ... Hmmmm. That would be a great question for the PAO in Great Lakes. There is probably a provision for it.

While on deployment the sailors will be solicited for absentee ballots. If your sailors haven't heard anything by now ... they need to speak to their Chief or possibly the Command Master Chief.

Voting is a big deal in the military ... and voting the right way ensures a healthy annual pay raise and enough money to leave the pier and do what sailors are supposed to do !! ;)

Great question....I never thought about it....I agree with Pistol....call the PAO and hopefully they can answer your question 847-688-2405

that number didnt seem to work.. (although i may have put it into my phone wrong, I gave my HRIC a call and he said they distribute absentee ballods the day of voting... so yea
