Just graduated!

Congrats on your graduation! Are they still handing out backpacks and plastic water bottles?
By the way, any idea what ratings you're interested in? I could try to get you some information if you had any questions.

Congratulations Sailor!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! How was your overall experience at boot camp?

kdgriffin · 01-19-2014, 03:37 PM

Congratulations....Not extremely important, but wondering if they are still doing mandatory haircuts for females. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations sailor!

How often did you guys get IT'd?

Race · 01-19-2014, 09:44 PM

How soon did you get your uniforms?

LT Guppy · 01-19-2014, 09:51 PM

You get your uniforms throughout. You get your NWUs very early on. But your dress uniforms are issued later because they have to be hemmed and fitted.

Well, first off congrats on graduating bootcamp.

My question is did you rank up at RTC or do you know anyone that did? I'm going in as an E-1 so I'm really looking forward to passing any physical or written test. Is the written test just on Ranks, CoC, orders etc. ?

yeah youll wear sweats and boots for the first week or 2 and then youll get fitted for your nwus and youll have those pretty soon. dress uniforms are done like week 4 or 5 and youll get them in time for graduation.

Really? That's a sudden change. Did you see female recruits at boot camp with their hair in a bun?

becab2 · 01-21-2014, 10:46 PM

cool thanks for the info! However the chain of command...do you mean know the titles and the people in the titles or just know the titles? b/c we have know way of knowing who are in the titles now!!

Were there people that went in and couldn't do hardly any of the physical things?

its no problem i wanna help people out. i had tons of questions before i went too lol. yes you have to know the entire chain of command and the names. i will try to find my training guide and post the current chain of command. obviously you wont know the very bottom until you get there.

yes there were people that couldnt do the pfa. but no one from my division failed. we pushed everyone the last pfa and we all graduated.... but honestly if you just run and do some push up and sit ups before you leave and get in some kind of shape youll be fine. they start out small and work there way up as far as pt goes.
