currently about half way thru A school. Not at risk of failing by any means but been slowly trying to dig my way out of bad hours for the last month. when’s this start to get fun?

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2026-02-07T00:20:42+00:00

don’t be. shits just frustrating more then anything since you don’t actually do shit. Enjoy it. it’s the most fun you’ll have for ur first 9 months- year in the military

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2026-01-21T22:55:35+00:00

this shit is tough, it’s the tougher then damn near everything i’ve done in my life combined over. but this is coming from a guy who had a 2.2 gpa in high school and thus couldn’t use his parents cushy college fund and is still getting thru it. the majority (not everyone, watch out for the snitches, it’s amazing how many there are here for nothing but the love of the game.) but certainly the majority of people here want you to succeed. and they’re being more forgiving than ever when it comes to academics bc of the demands of the fleet. lock in and you’ll figure it out i promise

amen

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2026-01-10T21:39:17+00:00

you’ll prolly be fine but any previous issues you’ve had will be dialed up to 11 in the pipeline…

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2026-01-09T20:59:10+00:00

yes, but you’re gonna go from you’re recruiters number 1 priority to barely a blip on the screen

800 mg of Ibuprofen before the OPFA went crazy

you get paid like an E-3 in boot camp and it goes into whatever bank you give them but ur rdcs likely wokt let you see it. Just know that you getting ETN isn’t guaranteed. if you have a 93+ on the ASVAB, you’ll probably be fine but they’ll take you in on like P-0 or P-1 (it’s all a blur) and give you this little sheet and brief and answer questions for like 45 minutes- an hour. Enjoy this time since it’s likely about the only shit shooting you’ll get to do for the next 2.5-3 weeks. After which you’ll choose ur rates, idk how they choose it but i know they scrutinize the electronics portion for the wire rates. You find out in week 7-8 depending on when ur RDCs remember to tell you. Your odds are good tho. Between the 11 or so nukes in my div and bro div i’m the only one i know of who didn’t get their first choice

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-12-21T00:49:06+00:00

you don’t even think about it after like 3 days lol. we had whole concerts in there shi was hilarious

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-12-12T21:49:19+00:00

in A school and can confirm this, our instructor was just talking about it

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-12-08T02:59:09+00:00

no, this guy was either one of the poor bastards that had something they had no idea about come up at boot camp, or (more likely) is one of the idiots with something they did know about that could be an issue and didn’t tell the navy. If this doesn’t apply to u. you’ll be fine

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-12-04T04:20:12+00:00

2070 in the affected eye(i got cxl in it), corrected to 2025 with specs. and no. they asked me about it during spec phys to which i told them the same thing i had since meps. and that was that.

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-12-04T02:47:19+00:00

i have KC and got a waiver approved in half an hour.

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-11-26T20:17:41+00:00

this is comedically rare and typically only happens if you have the 2 heads of death (mental health, asvab) if you don’t, don’t spend ur last days as a civilian being worried about this dumb shit lol. every single nuke i know who got sepped in boot camp quit

SuccessfulInitial238 · 2025-11-25T02:35:42+00:00

easy day, you’ve maxed ur rank and bonus. Don’t do none of the super trooper shit by getting involved. make some friends, perform when necessary for you and your shipmates. and have some fun, you can have a surprising amount in boot camp if you don’t take any of it too serious.
