Fun facts about bootcamp
 
Just some random info about bootcamp. I'll add more as I think of it
Eating healthy- whether you like it or not,most of the food you'll eat are healthy. Including turkey/chicken/fish with very little beef/pork, the only sodas they have are the "zero" versions, lots of fruits of vegetables, everything baked instead of fried
Straight lines/angles- in bootcamp, circles and rounded corners do not exist. You walk in straight lines, pivot at angles, fold at angles(lots of things involve 45 degrees)
Recruit handwriting- also in bootcamp lowercase letters do not exist and there are very specific ways to write letters and numbers so as not to "double stroke"(go over the same area twice).
Studying- there is so much time to study its not even funny, the only times you won't have your trainee guide within arms reach are in the head and at chapel.
ASMO Train- to be ASMOed is to be set back in training and there is a specific day towards the end of training where a magical train comes and takes many people backwards in training because of PFA failure, test 3 failure, or failure to pass swim qual.
Bluejackets manual- even though you will very rarely if ever be told to read it by RDCs(some even get mad if they catch you),A LOT of the info you need to know for tests and training evolutions comes straight from there. So starting early read a little every night after taps to get ahead

Didn't they just change the handwriting in the Navy? I thought that I read somewhere that they changed it to allow lowercase letters.

That's in official messages only.

What would qualify as an official message? An announcement from command?

They're actually called "Naval Messages". It's the way a whole bunch of information is distributed.

I don't think there is a difference

Yeah we had a few guys ride the Asmo train along with one guy everyone affectionately referred to as the conductor because he had been on LLD since p days and therefore had missed out on a lot of the mandatory events/training
