Things to know before bootcamp

Barbazu · 08-06-2016, 03:58 PM

Know how to properly address a petty officer. In boot camp this is ridiculously important, but outside of boot camp you'll be looked at like an idiot. It's always, "Yes (or no) petty officer." And know the difference between a Po and a chief. Calling a chief "petty officer" is a great way to get on the chief's bad side. Also... Learn to freaking march and do facing movements. We had a girl that couldn't do an about face until the last week of boot. And I counted how many time the person behind me in formation stepped on my heels while marching one day... 27 times... She could NOT march. Don't be that person.
