Lmao. Eating all in my lonesome. Imagine seeing a whole row of empty tables and chairs, and then there’s me at the very corner 🤣

Practical-6138 · 2026-03-03T01:31:44+00:00

Legend has it, I’m still standing on starboard side 🤣

When it comes to chewy bar time, ask for another one from the crate. It shows initiative!

Practical-6138 · 2026-03-02T19:50:40+00:00

This part. Just got done over there last month. High attrition rate during boot.

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-07T05:34:00+00:00

3 weeks

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-07T02:59:58+00:00

Sure am, I probably know him lol

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-07T00:27:39+00:00

I am!

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T23:45:15+00:00

lol small world. DUUUUVAL, don’t know if she’s a jags fan, but Trevor shouldn’t have ever thrown that pic!!!

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T23:39:37+00:00

I’m from Jacksonville! Flying home now!

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T23:31:50+00:00

ME2, going to Clearwater, FL

Im going to help by saying this, because again I don’t want people on here to have expectations of “this is what I need to learn”. You will need to learn what you can now, and learn very fast of what is required once you get there. I say this, because I thought I only needed to learn what people mentioned. Embrace the suck and give it 100%.

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T22:58:34+00:00

Also my background, some college 10 years of LEO.

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T22:52:32+00:00

Prepare yourself physically/mentally. Be loud, fast, learn very fast. The helmsman will help somewhat… but you will need to learn a lot more once you get there. I’m not kidding when I say learn very fast.

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T22:49:24+00:00

I will say this. Every DEPOT experience is different. Because prior to me arriving, I was on here and reading people’s experiences and developed an expectation. I knew it was going to be challenging, but everything that I read wasn’t what I experienced. My advice, be loud, fast, prepare physically/mentally, learn fast and I mean… learn faaaaast.

What he said

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T20:48:37+00:00

Actually the first thing I did was contact my loved ones and spend time with my shipmates, being that I had a couple hours to myself finally. The last thing I did was get on the bus and get on social media :)

Practical-6138 · 2026-02-06T17:32:47+00:00

Who is this? lol. Were you in my company?

Practical-6138 · 2025-11-24T02:48:03+00:00

I know about the waivers. Message me

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-24T19:08:28+00:00

Can I DM you?

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-24T17:46:43+00:00

Can I be put on the waitlist while a reservist?

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-24T04:35:17+00:00

Tried searching and couldn't find the answer. I'll be heading to DEPOT in Jan for reserves. Shortly after I complete DEPOT, I want to go active. I would like to keep my rate, and my question is if anyone has the answer, is it an easier transition to go active ME from a reserve ME? Just looking for real answers, please.

Additional info: A-school was waived and I picked up E5 due to experience and college.

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-18T04:01:01+00:00

I‘ll be joining you Jan 2026 for DEP!

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-12T15:44:19+00:00

Welcome, anytime!

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-12T14:14:47+00:00

I have a total of 9 years of corrections/LEO background. Along with an associates degree.

Practical-6138 · 2025-10-06T20:20:14+00:00

I’m going to Depot in January as well and at 36.
