Life in Pensacola

Spook · 07-15-2014, 10:40 AM

From what I've learned from my recruiter, A school can be a challenge but not too hard. C school is likely. As for liberty, Im pretty sure you'll have time to do that. I was told that there are plenty of things to do for recreation. For the first few weeks at A school lifestyle remains the same as bootcamp. After a while everyone gains freedom. So things like tattoos can be done. As for the wait, my recruiters have told me people go straight to A school after boot camp. I'm not sure if family can visit ON base, but I was told weekends are free to do with what you want

Hope that helped

Also a bit of advice for both you on this one.

DON'T BE THAT GUY/GIRL. Wait until you actually have some time in the fleet before you go get USN plastered on yourself somewhere. For someone who just graduated boot camp it looks a little ridiculous since you basically joined the Navy yesterday. So just keep in mind; yes, people will make fun of you if you get a tattoo immediately after boot.
