Waking up

No alarm needed, the watch stander will wake everyone up. We woke up an hour before rev everyday.

Most RDCs are going to expect their divisions to be awake, shaved, dressed, and the compartment on-spot when they walk in at rev (0600 most mornings). For some, that might mean waking up at 0500... for others, 0555.

I'm glad that's not just allowed, but expected. I look like a slasher victim if I have to rush a shave.

Agreed, Auridan. I just get a stomach ache if I wake up really quickly...

lol OCS is so different

Our section leader for the day (who had a watch) would go door to door at 0445 to wake everyone up. Then at 0500, they would go through the hall saying "reveille, reveille, reveille" (once we had our cell phones, some people would play a recording of reveille) and everyone had to be out in front of their door in PT gear (what we slept in) and flipflops by about 0503. Then we would have 20 minutes for hygiene. And then chow between 0530 and 0630 depending on where we were in the chow rotation. On weekends, reveille was at 0615.

They're basically required by week 9 (we were on individual schedules, so the place runs on texting), some people earn them earlier, especially if they held jobs.
