START guide, and the test you take at RTC

Beau.B · 08-11-2011, 11:50 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm nearly done memorizing everything in the start guide for the PQS at the end of it. I just have a couple of questions.

Under topic 2 of the PQS, Navy Core Values, it just says:

a. Define Honor.
b. Define Courage.
c. Define Commitment.

Now do they want the multi-bullet paragraph long definition of each that appears in the start guide, or do they want a definition of each in your own words?

What answer do they look for on the test at RTC?

I just want to make sure that I am focusing on the right things. I have no problem memorizing the long definitions, I'm just curious.

Thanks everyone!

Beau - In you own words. You can't be expected to memorize that whole paragraph(s).

What is the START guide? And is there a list or book of things we're supposed to memorize before we get to RTC? I think I saw something a while back on a website but my recruiter hasn't given me anything since I depped and we've only had one dep meeting so far and we just at around waiting 2 1/2 hours for a chief that never showed up???

Yep the Start guide is a book that you should've gotten at MEPS or your recruiter. It has a bunch of information in it that you need to memorize and have your recruiter sign off on. You can get a PDF version of it here:

Hope that helps!

If you have a smartphone there's also a mobile version available that has the most important information condensed. It can be viewed at:

You should get an actual booklet from your recruiter, or at least a copy of one. I'd ask him about it, it's some important and interesting stuff!
