Volunteering in boot camp
My friend told me if I volunteer for leadership position while in boot camp and do good then I will get promoted easily. I also have a friend who went from E-1 to E-3 in boot camp. My question is that if I'm already E-3 is it worth to do anything extra? I figured something like looking good on eval and such is likely.

You can if you want.
But after you graduate no one will care what you did in boot camp. Also, sometimes positions are voluntold not volunteer.

It could make life easier in bootcamp. theres a good chance to have some sour apples as leadership.
If you really want to lead, don't take a leadership position, just help your shipmates as much as possible, and try to minimize drama. Bootcamp is like having a bunch of middleschoolers in a prison.

What you do in bootcamp will pretty much have zero to do with what happens to you in the fleet. If you're E3 already there is literally nothing that's going to do anything for you by taking some kind of extra duty while you're at RTC. It won't go on your eval and nobody in the fleet is going to care.
Not to sound callous, sorry haha Just some reality ^_^ /r CTT1

There is a chance to advance in pay grade if you get a job and do it well. That being said, if you are already an E3, let someone else have it.
