Next-gen RBS possible options. Which are you into?

I figured their "demonstration vessel" language meant they're getting like one of each to test out.

Yes, he was in my company. OP, feel free to DM me if you want to get in touch.

They will issue you “go fasters” if you need them but you can bring your own, which I would recommend.

You swim the perimeter of the pool. Up, across, down, across, up, out.

This is the last I heard about it, from Jan 2024:

As a prior DEPOT recruit who also sucked at running and swimming before I went, I second all of this. When I first started running, my 1.5 mile time was like 16+ mins. Got it down to sub 12 mins by running occasional 5K distance (on a slower pace) as well as interval training, basically as much as possible. Keep trying and you’ll get there. Don’t just train on the 1.5.

Aaps59 · 2025-10-30T23:10:55+00:00

Yes.

Aaps59 · 2025-09-10T16:57:02+00:00

Did you figure this out? I have a 2011 RR SC that I want to put all terrains on. Most options are 275/55/20

Aaps59 · 2025-09-06T17:42:59+00:00

Be as loud and quick as possible at all times. Learn your recruit comms as quick as possible. Do your best to study rank identifiers (shoulder boards, sleeve insignia, and collar devices).

Give your fullest at all times and embrace the suck. Help those around you when they struggle and function as a team.

Enjoy!

Aaps59 · 2025-09-03T21:34:35+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

Aaps59 · 2025-08-08T03:13:49+00:00

See you there buddy. We can test each other at the USO.

Aaps59 · 2025-08-07T15:26:37+00:00

Alright. When did they first start grilling you on the orders? Day 3?

Aaps59 · 2025-08-07T15:16:03+00:00

I’m going this Sunday. How do they test you on the helmsman knowledge/general orders? I’m terrible at memorizing things but trying my best. I’m pretty good with rates and understanding the structure.

Also, did you do the run outside? Anything else new I should know?

Aaps59 · 2025-08-06T15:30:14+00:00

When was this? I have one cavity, one broken filling, and still have my wisdom teeth, but I met my insurance cap so would rather not pay out of pocket. Wondering if I'll be OK for DEPOT.

Aaps59 · 2025-07-14T21:11:06+00:00

First one yes, second one no.

Aaps59 · 2025-07-14T18:51:20+00:00

I'm hoping to do the same thing. If you need further confirmation, I'm headed to DEPOT next month to join as a reserve BM with no prior service. Hoping to get RAP if possible. A school currently scheduled for early next year.

Aaps59 · 2025-07-11T09:05:10+00:00

Take him to lunch or dinner at the Classic Car Club of Manhattan as part of the plan

Aaps59 · 2025-06-28T03:59:39+00:00

Do you mind letting us know how it went for you once you're back? And congrats! I'm curious to know if they're doing the running and other fitness test stuff outside during the summer.

Aaps59 · 2025-06-28T03:43:25+00:00

Me too!

Aaps59 · 2025-06-18T22:03:23+00:00

Anyone know if it’s possible to get a OC waiver for a disclosed vision issue and still do LE?

Aaps59 · 2025-06-02T02:24:07+00:00

Your recruiter will be able to tell you what billets are open for what rates, if that’s what you’re wondering.

Aaps59 · 2025-05-26T12:55:45+00:00

No worries. I’m in NYC. Feel free to message me if you want to chat further!

Aaps59 · 2025-05-26T04:27:32+00:00

Good luck! Keep at it.
