No they ask you about your chain of command and what they wear as a collar device and on the sleeve of your dress blue uniform. Learning the start guide is to help e nothings advance to e2. The aircrafts will not help you. There is a chapter in your trainee guide that will cover what you need to know about aircrafts and ships.

i'll be going in as an E3. will learning the start guide ahead of time be all that important for me?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but does anyone know where I can find a current chain of command?

The chain of command is the one thing you're usually better off waiting to learn until you get there, because the bottom half frequently changes.

once it starts to actually get closer to my ship date, i plan on really studying my start guide. at this point i still have 5 months to learn all of that stuff.

Nope. Nope.

Study now. Sections at a time.
Your recruiter will be testing you periodically throughout DEP.

Ask him or her what section you need to learn for you PQS that week/month and focus on that.

Yes. You should know it even better than most, in fact, since you are being paid more.

Yes. It's actually information you need to know as a sailor, not just to pass a bootcamp test.
