Boot Camp Knowledge Question

Brainiac · 06-28-2013, 01:30 PM

What all information do I need to have memorized for boot camp?

Thanks,

God Bless

chain of command from president down to your rdcs, rank and recognition, 11 general orders

Sailor Creed too! Maybe even aircraft/ship names (F/A-18, CVN, those types of names)

Chain of Command is that just titles or actual names?
Would it be President of the US or President Obama?

It's Commander in Chief. You can look that up in your START Guide.

so do they ever ask any other questions like the ones in the back of the start guide

No they ask you about your chain of command and what they wear as a collar device and on the sleeve of your dress blue uniform. Learning the start guide is to help e nothings advance to e2. The aircrafts will not help you. There is a chapter in your trainee guide that will cover what you need to know about aircrafts and ships.

i'll be going in as an E3. will learning the start guide ahead of time be all that important for me?

FutureIC · 07-08-2013, 09:45 PM

Sorry if this is a dumb question but does anyone know where I can find a current chain of command?

Yes. You should know it even better than most, in fact, since you are being paid more.

Yes. It's actually information you need to know as a sailor, not just to pass a bootcamp test.

The chain of command is the one thing you're usually better off waiting to learn until you get there, because the bottom half frequently changes.

once it starts to actually get closer to my ship date, i plan on really studying my start guide. at this point i still have 5 months to learn all of that stuff.

You just need to have everything in your start guide memorized

Nope. Nope.

Study now. Sections at a time.
Your recruiter will be testing you periodically throughout DEP.

Ask him or her what section you need to learn for you PQS that week/month and focus on that.
