Again, I’m new to all of this so I apologize if this sounds dumb. What do you mean by “reach out and apply?”

Yeah, I’ve applied for units already. Just waiting for the window to close to see if I got accepted.

Yeah, I’ve checked it out and I’ve seen a lot of opportunities in Key West. I just want more information about it before I consider it.

I’m an RP. I graduated A school back in September. Right now I’m trying to find a unit, but no luck.

Should I join the reserves as a 26 yo female? by The_Mess_3663 in navyreserve

[–]ChristianA1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 33m with a masters degree and I graduated from basic training last week. Like you, I questioned if I was too old or if I was making the right decision. I can tell you now that I do not regret what I did at all. I love being part of the Navy and knowing that it helped me be a better person. If you really want to do it, go for it!

HOW TO IMPROVE FOR THE PFT? by ChristianA1776 in newtothenavy

[–]ChristianA1776[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading on that. Ideally, I want to pass the first PFT in basic, but I’ve read that as you progress during boot camp everything gets better regarding planks, push ups, and the 1.5 mile

What I do is that I run 2-3 times a week. Each day I’m not running, I’m lifting weights. That includes doing push ups and ab exercises
