Congrats on your graduation! Are they still handing out backpacks and plastic water bottles?
By the way, any idea what ratings you're interested in? I could try to get you some information if you had any questions.

You get your uniforms throughout. You get your NWUs very early on. But your dress uniforms are issued later because they have to be hemmed and fitted.

Well, first off congrats on graduating bootcamp.
My question is did you rank up at RTC or do you know anyone that did? I'm going in as an E-1 so I'm really looking forward to passing any physical or written test. Is the written test just on Ranks, CoC, orders etc. ? |

Congrats!! I am going to Pensacola for my A school as well!!
What is boot camp really like, is it like the video they show you faces of boot camp 2014? How often did you really PT and get in trouble? Did you get a recruit job while there?? Oh, Also did you have to know the Chain of Command TItles or Titles with the people in the positions? We are getting mixed answers on that!!! Sorry for questions but I ship out in March and I'm just wanting to know as much as possible!! |

yes i did get promoted to E2 for passing the dep test and my pfa. that is the easiest way to get advanced in bootcamp so just try your best to be in good shape for your first pfa and study your start guide.

Really? That's a sudden change. Did you see female recruits at boot camp with their hair in a bun?

yes there were people that couldnt do the pfa. but no one from my division failed. we pushed everyone the last pfa and we all graduated.... but honestly if you just run and do some push up and sit ups before you leave and get in some kind of shape youll be fine. they start out small and work there way up as far as pt goes. |

The bottom half of the chain of command changes all the time, sometimes while you're in bootcamp.

You mentioned that you don't think haircuts are mandatory for female recruits as of the new year. Was an announcement made about this or did you see female recruits without their hair cut? Just curious.
