I'm just wondering how much yelling there is in boot camp. The welcome to boot camp videos and what not and there's no yelling, and I assume there has to be some.

Depends on the RDCs. My 3rd RDC yelled a ton. He also got screwed over by hid COC when he got assigned to us. So needless to say he was a little salty

YEP. 2 training groups behind me is a "trial group" where they wear tennis shoes one week, boots next and they just rotate it. Supposedly helps with shin splints? I don't know it's BS. Lol but of course people with medical problems wear tennis shoes but my division did not wear tennis shoes with our NWUs!

Yeah they started doing that several divisions behind me last year. I guess it's still in trial if every division isn't doing it yet. I personally think it looks ridiculous.

It's stupid. They look so tacky and literally everyone looks like they're LLD or something. 😂

I was in an accident during my dep. Chipped my spine and gave me a concussion. Was in bed for weeks. I healed up just fine and went and got my screening from my doctor and asked her if she thought this would be a problem for my navy career. She said no. So I asked her to annotate that in her computer and have her print it out so I could bring it to my recruiters. They didn't want to deal with the paperwork. So the Navy didn't know about it. Got to the moment of truth and got guilt tripped into it. I thought I was going home.

But what they did was give me the option to file a report. They send you to medical and get out on LLD till you can have an appointment with an actual doctor. Which doesn't really matter anyways if you are LLD. No one does any physical activity during the first week. I went to my appointment a couple days later. And the doctor pulled up the exact document I had my doctor back home fill out. So yes they have access to your stuff. Do they look at every recruit that passes through. Probably not.

But after the doctor saw the note my previous doctor wrote down, he cleared me and put me back on for for full duty and sent me back to my division. Haven't heard anything of it since. I'm glad I did it. I have had screenings where they brought up stuff I truly didn't know about. Wasn't a big deal but if they saw something that was recent that I didn't release. I could have gotten in trouble.

So have some integrity and do the right thing.

Female hair program is still going! I could keep my hair long but a lot of females still opt to get their haircut anyways. Some had problems keeping it in regs so I suggest practicing if you want to have long hair in bootcamp.

Disclaimer, though. With long hair, washing your hair everyday is pretty much impossible. I literally only had time to wash/condition my hair every few days. Sometimes I would only be able to do it on a Sunday. gross, I know but seriously. Never had time.

YEP! Tons stand up. Some never come back. DO NOT stand up. They will guilt you into it, they will tell you they know stuff on you and you're so tired you'll believe it. They honestly had me believing they knew stuff about me and I didn't even do anything! You're just so tired by that point they start messing with your emotions and so a lot of people think it's better if they stand up but no. No it's not.
