Graduated friday (7 Nov 2014)

THanks for the write up man. I leave the 1st of December. Where's your A school?

It's very, very windy. It wasn't extremely cold when I got there. I think the uniform of the day before I graduated had us wearing the ball cap not the watch cap with gloves. And my. School is at Corry station in Florida. It's been pretty badass so far.

Another important tip is appearance. Keep your shit on spot. Their perception is your reality. You look stupid they will think you are stupid. It's something I'm still fighting today actually. I would always forget a boot strap or something small.

Another thing I would like to mention. People wonder if push divisions exists. And yes they do. I was one. My bootcamp was 54 days long. What happens is that they need x amount of divisions to graduate on a Friday. It's called a training group. If you get to Rtc and the last training group just finished grouping up and you are the start of a new division of a new training group, then you will be there the longest. You will end up doing battle stations first and have like a week of doing nothing. I say nothing loosely because I didn't experience it so I have no clue what they actually do. If you get there and you are part of the last div to group up in your training group, then you will be the last to do battle stations and will end up having less "free" days.

Yes, yes it is haha

Just don't get too caught up in the after-work fun or Corry Love and you'll be fine.

What rate are you there for again?

I'm gonna be a CTR. And I'm not 100% sure what you mean by Corry love, but I was working on my roving quals and caught someone making in the car. And I was with the chief when it happened so I know not to do that lol.

"Corry Love" refers to all the Sailors who get out of Boot and get married or in some kind of overly serious relationship as soon as they get to Corry.

To add, "A School marriages" (meeting and marrying another sailor in A school) rarely work.
