Accents
Weird question but I have been told I have a Florida accent(almost southern drawl but not quite). We Floridians say alot of things different than everybody else. I was wondering if RDCs will be mean and really personal and make fun of how I talk?

From what I've heard, they pick on you about anything and everything they can. I have a southern accent also and I've been told I will get hell for it. But you just gotta let it roll off your back and not take it personally.

I'm from N. of Orlando and also have been told by many people from up North that I have an accent. Idk. It's what it is. They'll most likely give you crap for it but what can you do? haha

Accent or no accent! They'll find something to pick on you for!

I'm from back woods GA and I didnt hear a comment on my accent. Just keep your head down, and keep yourself of their radar and you could go through boot without them even knowing your name.

Same here, I'm front Georgia and I've got an accent, but got nothing on it in bootcamp. Another girl had a really southern accent and the RDC's pointed it out everytime she spoke. We had a guy that came from Mexico and his english wasn't exactly perfect. The RDC's dogged him on it until graduation week. I think it'll depend on your RDC and how much you make yourself known in the Div.
