Default Achievements, Awards, Accomplishments you can receive in Bootcamp?

I am wondering what achievements you can earn while in bootcamp whether its academic, physical awards, motivated and helping the team, and so on..

Would be great to provide a list of achievements you can receive and how to earn them when at bootcamp?

(P.S. on a side note, for someone who is on the quiet side can they achieve this?)

Really it's just honor grad and your shooting ribbons. Although none of those things will really do anything for you except give you an extra ribbon to wear. That's about it.

Weapons quals can usually be redone depending on your rate/duty station. Honor Grad just gets you this ribbon now (which most of the Fleet finds ridiculous), but outside of that not much.

Boot Camp isn't designed for you to stand out as an individual; you've got your whole career for that. Boot is most importantly about transitioning from a civilian and into a Sailor. Learning the skills they're teaching and coming together as a team will go much farther for you that just some random ribbon on a uniform.

Once you get to the fleet, no one will really care if you were honor grad or if you had to repeat weeks - as long as you graduated.
