I have been told that people come to Bootcamp to ask if you want to volunteer for various programs including SWCC. Does anyone know which week this is? Also while in SWCC school, do you get weekend liberty or are you kept pretty well locked down? Any help would be appreciated :)

I'll ask my son when I talk to him over the weekend. I believe that SWCC Training and time off is pretty much like BUD/s. They have the weekends "off". They do have to do things over the weekend to get ready for the next weeks class, but otherwise they do have it off. I'll let you know more after I talk to my son.

SWCC stands for Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman..............They support the Navy SEALs among other things.

Just talked to my son.............He says yes they do ask for volunteers during boot camp, but he can't remember for sure what week it is. He THINKS it is during the 2nd or 3rd week. He also confirmed what I had said earlier about having weekends off. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try to get them answered for you. Once side note...........My son did say that if you wanted to go SWCC, you should have that contract BEFORE you head to BC and not wait until you get there.

Not too bad..............He is on roll back and awaiting the class to reach 2nd phase so he can class up with them. That is supposed to be on the 26th of this month, I believe. BUT, when I talked to him earlier, he was going to medical. Seems he fell last night and hurt his wrist. He says the swelling is up to his elbow this morning and he couldn't move it at all. Says he didn't get much sleep last night because of it. So now I'm waiting to hear back from him as to what medical has to say. He will be REALLY bummed if he can't class up with this class!

Yup, guess you better step your workouts up!!!!! Good luck to you!
