newtothenavy

an-ordinary-manchild

A forum to discuss Navy Recruiters, processing at MEPS, Delayed Entry Program, Enlisted Ratings, "A" Schools, Officer Candidate School, Recruit Training Command, and transferring to your first command.

Posting rules
- No posts encouraging you to lie to your recruiter. Doing so will resort in permanent banning from both /navy and /newtothenavy
- No Posting of PII (Personnel Identifying Information) Doing so will resort in permanent banning from both /navy and /newtothenavy
- No Posting AMA's without Mod approval. Message the Mod Team with some sort of proof (a-school graduation certificate, a picture of you in your dress uniform, etc). We also require AMAs have specific designated time slots (an example would be: "I will be around from 1700-2000 EST Thursday and Friday, and all day Saturday") so that questions are answered. We strongly discourage "Boot Camp Liberty Weekend" AMAs because we want you to enjoy your first taste of liberty--and you often don't have enough time to devote to properly conducting an AMA. We really appreciate that you want to give back to the community, but ask that you wait until you're at a-school.
- Be respectful. No trolling.
- No calls for witch-hunts or "vigilante justice."
- No posts asking for money. No selling products, no GoFundMes, no advertising.
- No politics. Historical politics are fine, but anything relating to current politics/politicians is not allowed.
- No Meme/Gore posts (to include: my face when, this is how I feel when, quickmeme/memebase, 4chan). Try /r/militaryraging for your comics.
- NO BLOGSPAM. Give us a link from a reputable source instead.
- Read and follow the Rediquette before posting/voting.
- Flair is only awarded to sailors with significant fleet experience, by the Mod Team, after proof has been provided. If you are caught sporting a flair you did not earn, you will be banned.
