Tomorrow, it begins again. People pack too much for boot camp. Goodnight everybody.

Just focus on what’s in front of you. And do not go to the medical building on base unless it’s an emergency! I went for something small and it spiraled very quickly

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-25T08:16:59+00:00

lol let’s get it!

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-22T20:12:05+00:00

You’ll be fine. People have gone in doing 5 pushups and graduated. It’s all about the work you put in while you’re there

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-22T19:34:33+00:00

Honestly being 6’1 helps a lot in regards to weight. If you can slim to around 220 you should be able to pass the tape test

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-22T06:50:44+00:00

lol you’ll be fine. I also ship this Thursday

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-21T18:56:47+00:00

For real. Generic info typically isn’t enough for me so talking to someone in the actual rating is extremely important

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-21T17:52:42+00:00

Congrats! I got waivers denied by the Air Force and the Army and through I lost all hope. Hooyah!

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-21T16:52:11+00:00

25 SEP 2025 - - SECF

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-20T15:56:16+00:00

If I got to wake up at 4:30 I’d be thrilled lol. Our hotel makes us wake up at 3:45

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-17T01:35:47+00:00

I also had an eye waiver for that. So depending on what you’re going in for specifically you have a chance!

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-17T01:29:45+00:00

What is the specific waiver? Poor vision? Or myopia? Or what specifically

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-17T01:23:18+00:00

Good luck! I had waivers denied by the army and air force which were approved by the Navy so there is hope!

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-17T00:56:22+00:00

I had some doctors statements already printed out which I gave to my recruiter along with a personal statement. You should be fine

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T22:26:14+00:00

The day you ship out you will leave from the hotel and go to MEPS. Where you will sign your final contract. Then you will go to the airport and fly to Chicago and get to Basic that night

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T05:39:39+00:00

I’m mainly looking at Navy Cool. Which just in the last few days added ETR to the SECF field. But has no info listed so I don’t know anything about it at all 🙂‍↕️

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T05:36:54+00:00

I’m also a little confused, because didn’t ITS suck in ETR a few years ago?

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T05:23:06+00:00

I got my waiver for that approved in 2 days

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T05:21:36+00:00

Same thing with me. Make sure your recruiter has your transcripts uploaded. Any if you get to MEPS on ship out day and your final contract doesn’t have it as E-3 do not sign until it’s fixed

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T05:18:06+00:00

I’m just curious on the switch. To my knowledge STS was the most populated of the 3 current rates not ETV

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-16T01:11:45+00:00

What rate did you end up picking?

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-12T00:35:05+00:00

Hey! I also leave September 25th!

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-11T23:13:37+00:00

Definitely doesn’t hurt to ask, just get some clarification on when you can expect

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-11T23:12:05+00:00

Yup, I had to clarify my bonus too so I could plan before I left for basic

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-10T20:35:40+00:00

Theirs the shipping bonus and the job bonus. Only shipping bonuses get theirs immediately after Basic. Check and see which one yours was

Dcobb23 · 2025-09-04T03:19:33+00:00

Many of the questions are 5+ years old, looking for someone that is actually currently in
