To be honest, if you're going to lie to begin with don't get there and start wanting to tell the truth. You should've just done it all to begin with lol but it's whatever you want and what you feel is best/right for you I suppose.
It was super easy. The only difficult part was being away from my family, honestly. It was a little tough mentally I suppose because I just don't do well with lack of sleep and stuff but I made it just fine. Just keep your mouth shut, do what is asked of you and you'll be fine. PT was stupid easy, and I was really disappointed. Push yourself as hard as you can every PT though because a lot of people didn't pass. If you can't swim, start practicing now because that was another big thing. Just follow directions, study, and be smart. Don't say stupid things and HAVE MILITARY BEARING AT ALL TIMES. Jesus. Please have military bearing. I don't have much of a sentence but I would have to say bootcamp was juuuuuust an experience. Lol it's hard to sum it up into just one sentence because bootcamp is so many different things all at once. |

I'm very curious, but if you're told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it,yet you aren't sure about one teeny-tiny detail or have forgotten it, would it hurt if you asked them to repeat again so that you can clarify and then do it right the first time perfectly?
I guess that's my perfectionism type-A personality kicking in that I'd need to let loose. |

Also you run into the really fun problem of different RDCs wanting you to do a certain thing different ways and you can never please anyone. Tons of fun.

In our divisions case, pretty much anything petty officer said went. Our chief was like "oh, petty officer said it? Okay. Then that's what you do." Lol it was confusing sometimes since chief is supposed to be all knowing and always right lol

But yeah...those conversations usually would just end in 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,7,8,7,8,7,8,7.......8,9,10  Note to all Future Sailors....always agree with Chief, even when you know he's as far out in left field as you can get! Makes life much more bearable haha
