What will cause someone to get kicked out of boot camp?

Moment of truth, most definitely! Stand up there and never saw those guys ever again. Ever.

Amazes me that people get that far and then chose not to go through with it. Psychologically I can understand and even my own personal experience. But even with that it boggles my mind now.

Not related overmuch but my first time away from home to work at Mackinaw Island for the summer I gave up. The day I got there. Unexpected problems but nothing I couldn't have handled and overcame. It's one of the things I regret most. Having given up and not done it. Have since used that for strength and I don't give up anymore. Traveled a helluva lot farther than that in stranger places and overcome so much more. That desire to never again regret an opportunity lost.

Would suck for that lesson for others to be something as important and life changing as the military. To balk at that last step.

One thing to know, if you really tick off an RDC, they can have you medical-ed out as well...they will just label the recruit as ADD, ADHD,(claiming it was never disclosed) or even Intermittent Explosive Disorder(like if you show any signs of a temper)...I know of a few people that this has happened to and not just in the navy. The RDC's just write it up and send you to medical where they really dont have a clue on mental issues and just submit it....and with those types of claims, the re-entry code is usually RE4, which means they can NEVER go back into any military branch ever again. I only know of ONE person that got an RE3 and is now serving but went to a different branch of service after NUMEROUS waivers!
Another problem is not disclosing debts owed, when this is found out, your gone!
