Boot Camp
What was the PT like? How hard physically was Navy Boot Camp? Were any people ASMOD for failing their PFA's?

@dascolbert I failed my first PFA bkuz of my situps (my tummy was sore from PT 2 days before) and I did 21 pushups and ran 14:05. I passed my 2nd PFA w. 47 pushups, 57 situps, and my run tine didn't change. I passed my 3rd PFA w. 80 situps, 51 pushups, and a 13:18 run. I was prepared, I just underestimated the situps. But better the situps than the run (trust me)
@OliviaJ Bootcamp PT is not hard whatsoever. If yu can run 20 minutes without stopping yu'll be okay. Getting beat isn't tht bad either. We didn't really get beat, but tht all depends on yur RDC. And yes, people did get ASMO'd for failing the PFA! We lost like... 4 girls bkuz ofit but one still got to graduate w. Us bkuz she was able to pass and still make it to Battlestations before PIR, but everyone isn't tht lucky. @Blasterion I gained 14 lbs. Does tht answer yur question? Lol Peanut butter will become yur best friend.. Trust me. |

That's quite a lot of improvement from your first PFA and your second. I'm guessing you're a female judging by passing with those run times. Good job on graduating.

Navy Female Hair Regulations
How did the African-American females in boot camp keep their hair? Did some have weave(sew-ins), cornrows, or did they cut their hair very short? * I am a Black female that ships 20130226 and I am just wondering how I should do my hair.*

OliviaJ I've been watching this girl's videos on youtube, she's african-american. she has a good amount of videos about bootcamp and everything and goes into the topic of how your hair should be A LOT. those parts didn't help me, since i'm a white dude, but i hope it helps you.

This was my experience personally, but all RDCs are different. |

I think i ask all recruits this because it varies.
Do you remember how many shots you got? Do you remember the ones you got? Did you bring your immunization records with you? If you did, were you excluded from any shots you had previously? |
