Good luck, shipmate. The Navy is a proud service with a strong sense of history and tradition. Remember that boot camp will probably be the hardest thing you do in the military (unless you become a Corpsman with a Marine unit). If you get out to 29 Palms for some crazy reason, look me up--3rd Light Armored Reconaissance Bn. I'll be there in October, then to somewhere hotter and sandier in Feb--I'll be easy to spot, I'll have an acoustic bass with me.

Adopt the Navy's core values as your own, and you'll go far in life, in or out of the Navy.

Have you picked your rating yet? I am sure the recruiter talked you in to going in for some particular field. Be aware that you can sometimes change ratings (job training) after you are already in basic. My sons best friend went in to be a STS and became a PC in stead.

I went in and did ET school. THen ended up cross-rating over to HM and working with Marines and SEALs. It's a weird world, sometimes.

Best of luck to you.

Best of luck to you.

And not to hijack your thread or anything, but...

Gy. Zaehler, were you in Al Anbar province last fall? I was over there with 3/1 and seem to remember 3rd LAR running around doing their thing. Was also thinking we may have left 29 about the same time. We were there to uptrain as provisional truck drivers (Artillerymen originally) and stayed down by the 1st Tanks chow hall. Was thinking 3rd LAR staged in that parking lot saying bye to family and all. Could be wrong, but it's a small Marine Corps.

see you all! im leaving for Navy basic real soon for 9 weeks.

Oh dang! I just watched the Navy SEALS BUDS training series on the Military Channel last night. It was four hours long, and I could not believe the stuff those guys went through. 83 guys started, and 21 finished.

I hope you make it through the boot camp!

That's all you need to know.

Sorry to disappoint you folks but navy boot camp these days is watered down to accomodate the weakest of the weak and the dumbest of the dumb (just like everything else these days it seems).

I get sailors fresh out of recruit training who couldn't do double their age in push ups or run a mile and half in under 11:00

It is up to the individual to go beyond what the Navy expects. And I have a feeling that volumefiend will be one of those hard charging sailors.

All the best, man. Good luck, and remember that 9 weeks isn't really all that long. Where are you going to basic?

 

[john turner]

good luck dude and be careful.

 

[Marlat]

Good luck and keep safe. We'll spin this one for ya:
