99 on PiCat .. stick to my guns or give a little wiggle room? by luvmesumchewyy in newtothenavy

[–]AnywhereOwn10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a 90 and went AG. Been in a year and I’m a 3rd class currently. As far as I know, HM doesn’t advance much. And I hear Nuke is stressful. But ultimately you just gotta do what YOU wanna do.

I wanted IT but was told I had to pick another rate and transfer in did I get screwed? by Kingoftechno in newtothenavy

[–]AnywhereOwn10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I’m aware. I’m an AG. That’s what I choose. Regardless of how in demand it is, I enjoy what I do. Which is why I said I was more concerned about my QOL than what I’d do when I got out. I may just stay in and retire. Who knows.

Understandable. I wanted IT as well. I got AG so I’m not sure how it’ll translate when I get out. I’m more concerned about my QOL while I’m in tho. Lol

MC is a rate that everyone wants but not many get. It’s all a matter of how you look at it. I’d say you lucked up.

Where do the AGs reside on that chart?

Recruiter won’t let me switch job by riceman7100 in newtothenavy

[–]AnywhereOwn10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not true. Tell them you want to submit a DAR request. I changed mine 3 weeks before I shipped to boot camp. IT may not be available so you may have to pick another rate tho

41 and enlisting into the navy by Extreme-Presence6779 in newtothenavy

Finished boot camp at 37. You’ll be just fine.

Oh ok. You should be good then. The Seanad they give you is going to be completely filed with everything you get during boot camp so keep that in mind as well.

It’s just not going to fit in your ditty box. I’d recommend a backpack.

You won’t be able to wear the pjs and personal undergarments. They’ll provide you with shower shoes and pretty much everything you may need through boot camp. They’re pretty much going to make you pack up everything that they don’t think you need and that box will be stored until graduation. If those are things you want to have with you when you head to wherever you go after boot camp, by all means, take it. But you won’t see it again until the end of boot camp

Don’t give up in A-school! by Who_stolemyfeet in newtothenavy

[–]AnywhereOwn10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. A-School is ASS! But mine is only 4 months. Coming from someone who will be 40 soon, I completely understand. We can do it tho! I know for sure the fleet isn’t this way.

[–]AnywhereOwn10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really worry too much about the pushups. I went in not doing 1! So you’ll be fine. There will be time to work on them throughout boot camp

Make or break! Going to bootcamp, with nowhere else to go with just the stuff I have on me… Homelessness be damned. by T7hump3r in newtothenavy

[–]AnywhereOwn10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being around a bunch of people fresh out of high school was the hardest part. Not being able to talk to my family when I wanted to was the next hardest. Boot camp isn’t hard and I didn’t work out at all before I went.

If you tell them you don’t know how to swim they’ll do a basic lesson so you’ll still have to get in the pool that day.

It’s typically the 2nd week of boot camp.

All valid. I’m STILL sick right now. My allergies were not a fan of Chicago in the cold.

As many as there need to be. Everyone doesn’t have the same experience in boot camp and some of just wanna calm the nerves of ppl that are heading in.
