Advice for boot camp
Hey everyone! I ship in just 5 days(20130226)! I can't believe that it has been 5 months since I depped in. Time goes by soo fast! Anyways, does anyone have any last minute advice or suggestions for boot camp? I think I'm in adequate shape and I'm generally a quiet person.

And most importantly, make sure you call your RDC "sir" or "maam"

Oh hell no! They don't do that anymore!
It's gonna be "Petty Officer" or "Chief"... only Sir/Ma'am an officer!

I've heard that the appropriate response when having put your foot in your mouth is 'belay my last' and to always say 'my apologies' instead of 'im sorry'
confirm/deny?

I kinda figured you were... just wanted to make it clear for the DEPpers, heh!
Just don't say "sorry, Chief/sorry, Petty Officer"... the response will always be "oh, so I'm a sorry Chief/PO, eh!? Push-up position! Get there!"
