ADVICE on when to go..

Yeah I agree with them. I'm leaving in a couple days and I'm not looking forward to the 20° weather. Trust me you're going to need the extra time to study and work out even though it will be annoying having to wait for the ship date. I think you should wait and make sure you're physically and mentally ready.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I am no stranger of cold weather though. I grew up in Minnesota (colder than Great Lakes) and currently live in NYC (which can also get pretty damn cold).

I have my sailor's creed and the first half of the general orders memorized. I am already going in as an E-3 from college credits so I am not trying to ace the PFA to get a promotion. I think I could get decently prepared in the next month.

I've read that the recruits shovel snow in the winter but as a trade off they don't do the confidence chamber; does anyone know if this is true?

I am definitely not itching to go early at all. But financially it is a tempting proposition. Hence my indecision haha.

Only thing you get out of for shoveling snow is not getting yelled at by RDC's. I would take the offer though if you know you'll be ready by then.

I say go for it judging by the name we got the same rate
