Seaman Recruit.
In the US, all military recruits attend some form of "boot camp," otherwise known as recruit training or basic training. Air Force recruits attend training in San Antonio, TX, for 8.5 weeks. Navy recruits attend training at Naval Station Great Lakes for roughly 8 weeks.
BUD/S is the Navy acronym for Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL training. BUDS, is the first training step for SEAL recruits; though recruits can pass BUDS training, it doesn't mean they'll go on to become SEAL's, as SEAL training follows BUDS.
bsstc stands for basic survival situation training course. It is administered to navy recruits before they are field certified.
All recruits are ordered to write (not email) letters to family during Basic Training.
Recruits
The Royal Navy.
Yes, the Royal Navy is also referred to as the British Royal Navy or the Royal British Navy.
Recruits don't get any time off for traditional holidays, let alone Navy holidays. You'll get time to yourself and usually a break from the usual grind since everyone else on base is off (save for the cooks and those standing security watches) but the only leave you'll see is when you graduate. Spent Christmas myself in Boot Camp.

The aviation branch of the navy is called the Naval Aviation.
