Boot camp

Is it possible to fail at boot camp and not graduate? If so, how do people fail at boot camp and why? What are some ways to not fail boot camp?

Yes. You can fail the physical or academics. Or you can be medically disqualified.

For some things you will just be rolled back to a later class.

There are three ways you can leave your division at RTC... by graduating, by being ASMO'D, or by being Seperated (SEP'd):

- ASMO: This is when you're put into another division... it could be a division on the same day of training as you (Lateral ASMO), or it would be a division weeks behind you. Reasons for being ASMO'd can be as big as failing Battle Stations or getting caught having sex in the laundry room, or as small as passing a note or making a joke about your RDC.

- Seperated: This is when you are being kicked out of the Navy... it can be due to medical, legal, or psychological reasons. Sometimes they find a condition that MEPS missed, sometimes they find a criminal record that MEPS missed or recruits show up on drugs, and sometimes recruits just go nuts and run down the hallways of the USS Pearl Harbor shouting their 8th General Order and pulling every fire alarm in the building!

If you get Seperated, you go to the SEPS Unit in Ship 05... if you're a danger to yourself or others, they put you on RSQ status, where you're locked in a glass room and have two sailors watch you 24/7 until they can get you out of there... if you're not dangerous, you live in a bootcamp compartment and sit around all day until they review your case and deem you fit to be sent home... the general rule is they don't review your case until your division graduates, so your RDCs won't be lying when they tell you, "the fastest way out of here is to graduate"!
