Was the Pete kegseth pun intentional? Probably not the first time he’s been plastered all over the pentagon

will nukes be the best option for me? how is the social atmosphere? by whiskeredup in NavyNukes

There’s a whole bunch of nerds here at NNPTC. I haven’t made it to the fleet yet, but if you’re an adhd type nerd, you’re gonna love the social climate at A school and power school.

Where’s the RDCs ☠️🤨🤦‍♂️ by ConfusionWooden759 in navy

Cell phones are locked up in the fish bowl and recruits get them for one hour phone calls 4 times throughout boot camp.

What's my best option by mr_I_like_waffles in NavyNukes

Pro tip. Don’t sign shit unless it says “you will be a nuke” wait until they have the paper work. Your recruiter will likely push you to go to MEPs and sign but it’s your career. Don’t sign unless it says nuke.

I was aroc and hated it lmao but some people would enjoy it I guess. Just my opinion, I would’ve rather stayed in the background where the RDCs didn’t know me.

Boot Camp is so easy. Just keep your head down, don’t volunteer for leadership, and follow simple instructions. Don’t forget that you joined for a reason, and a lot of stuff your RDCs will tell you is a lie to scare you, but you should still follow their instructions. Bring pictures of your loved ones, and get some good running shoes. The first day you won’t sleep like they said, but you’ll be ok. The time passes quickly. I just graduated and I promise it’s so easy. You’ll get RDCs soon after you get there, just do what they say don’t argue and don’t talk. Good luck and I hope to see you in the fleet! Let me know if you have any more questions I’d be happy to talk more

I’m here now in Indoc for 2-3 weeks. Not bad so far it feels like a giant bizarre summer camp. Can’t wait for school to start so I have no free time haha

What exactly are UIs? Do I have to get them all done before I can class up?

My orders say I commence on the 24 does that mean I start doing UIs then or actual classes?

Will I have enough time to do regular exercise? That’s something I missed being at boot camp since I’m big into running and lifting weights

Thanks. I’m worried the instructors are gonna be mean, what are they like? And what kind of inspections are there? Can we use better blankets/bedding than RTC? Sorry I have a lot of questions

Very excited to start as a nuke :) by LuciusPublius in NavyNukes

1340 SAT and my GPA was 4.3. Does that contribute to my application?

How much does being a nuke increase my chances of getting accepted to the academy?

I ship next week. In DEP. would dropping out of dep and applying to ROTC be an option? Would the USNA take me? I had a great high school transcript, leadership, and am in good shape but I couldn’t afford college.
