What Can Get You Sent Home From Bootcamp

jzhaun · 11-29-2013, 10:54 PM

Realistically speaking, it's pretty much obvious to anyone who's been into the drying room/on laundry crew that it's the logical place to do anything you're not supposed to be doing, because the walls are thicker to contain the heat, which muffles noise.

I'm fairly certain my drying room was never used for that while I was LPO, but it was used for various other activities that didn't necessarily have to do with laundry.

Intensive Training. Just extra PT for being stupid.

So I know I need to start running for the test I have a month until my ship date so I'll be fine but if you exceed on everything in pt will they let you stay until you pass the run?

They put a whole lot of money into getting you there, so yeah, they're going to want to keep and train you a little bit more to get you to pass the run. But believe me, it'll be a lot easier on you mentally and physically to pass it the first go around, so train before leaving (which you probably already have). But the place that the people who can't pass the PFA (FIT) runs you so hard like a PFA twice a day, that they sometimes end up breaking you. Especially with the shoes they issue you. I got shin splints from them.

A lot of people went to medical for one reason (fractured hip) and came out diagnosed with asthma and were sent home. So, if you don't actually have asthma, don't complain about chest pain because they love giving that diagnosis.

IT sucked, but ITE is worse. I'm pretty sure that's built into the schedule so no avoiding it. I was sweating so badly that my pants were sticking to my legs and I couldn't 'get there' for the next exercise in time.

But back to topic, breaking any of the CO's Top Six, any psychological disorders, any physical issues you're already asked about at MEPS, failing a drug test, any legal things you didn't disclose, or injuries that won't heal in time will get you sent home.

I hope I don't get sent home THAT WOULD SUCK... i would literally cry my eyes out and feel so embarrassed to tell my parents or friends what happened. it would mean all this time i spent in DEP would be a waste; i wanna be in part of the navy team SO BADLY.

It's not... ITE is actually hard to schedule due to rules and regulations; your RDC needs to route a chit through the ship's chain-of-command, there have to be witnesses from other divisions, usually the Ship's LCPO monitors, the compartment doors must remain open, etc. I asked my RDC when we were roving together a few weeks after graduation why she never ITE'd our division... she said the chit took too long to get approved and, in her opinion, it would've been like punishing a dog hours after it crapped on the carpet. She preferred to IT us as soon as we f**ked up, because it got the message across. There was a division on the floor above us though that was getting ITE'd at least once a week... we knew because they had to announce it over the ship's 1MC (PA System).

At this point in time, you honestly have to go out of your way to get sent home... messing up instructions or being too tired to do more push-ups during IT will get you yelled at, but not sent home... going to medical repeatedly to try to get out of doing anything... psychological breakdowns... suicide attempts... touching another recruit in ANY way... those are the sort of things that get you sent home.

As other's have advised above... spend your time in DEP memorizing your START Guide and working out. If you can show up to RTC able to pass your PFA and already knowing 90% of the stuff in your guide, the hardest part of bootcamp will be fighting boredom and annoyance at the people around you who are messing up because they didn't prepare.
