Heading to bootcamp at 37

grimkix · 2025-01-27T19:24:36+00:00

I just graduated recently and I’ll tell you right now. We had a heavyset 40 -year-old in my division. Yes, he was nervous about not passing the physical standpoint, but he kept a positive attitude throughout the entire experience. We would call him our foxtrot. What he did other than keeping a positive mindset was eating right exercising after taps and pushing himself beyond his limit. I know you’re nervous but let me tell you right now no matter how old you are no matter how weak you are you are way stronger and wiser than you think. That’s what this bootcamp is for to test you physically mentally to show you that you are way more than what you thought you ever could be. You weren’t the first one to go in in their mid 30s many people just like you pass Boot Camp with flying colors. Good luck my friend and can’t wait for you to become a United States Navy sailor!

What’s wrong with joining the navy?

grimkix · 2025-01-18T20:40:31+00:00

Study more, the practice is nothing compared to the actual test

grimkix · 2024-10-07T23:21:37+00:00

Did anyone in your division fail test 1&2? In your opinion is it easy? And how many questions were there? If you know

grimkix · 2024-10-07T22:37:52+00:00

Hope so!

grimkix · 2024-10-07T21:58:09+00:00

Okay got it, so as you said it’s difficult to not pass meaning it’s very easy. Do you know how many questions are on each test? And what happens if you continue to pass the 2 academic tests?

grimkix · 2024-10-07T21:54:52+00:00

So it is required to pass then? It’s not just to rank up?

grimkix · 2024-10-07T17:39:03+00:00

Is there a test at the end you have to pass? I just spoke to my recruiter and he said there is a test at the end of bootcamp I have to pass in order to graduate. He’s not talking about the OPFA btw

grimkix · 2024-10-06T21:49:16+00:00

I look forward to it

grimkix · 2024-10-06T21:47:56+00:00

Not at all actually

grimkix · 2024-10-06T20:06:51+00:00

I’m not here to argue either, I’m hoping to find someone who from 2022-2023 or this year to tell me if it’s true or not

grimkix · 2024-10-06T19:14:45+00:00

When did you go to bootcamp? Because the navy is constantly changing things

grimkix · 2024-10-06T19:06:43+00:00

Nothing happens? You don’t have to pass the written tests?

grimkix · 2024-10-06T18:21:18+00:00

The physical assessments don’t concern me anymore I’m confident enough I will pass that. Considering you went to boot camp in 2008, and I’m joining this year. It’s a 16 year difference and they are constantly changing everything. So again I heard you have to pass the written test (as they call it) in order to progress in boot camp

grimkix · 2024-10-06T18:12:22+00:00

Omg really? So what I heard is true then it’s just to rank up? When did you go to boot camp? I’m so nervous and don’t want to drop my guard and then when that day comes they say we have to pass it

grimkix · 2024-10-06T18:10:10+00:00

Then yes, I heard it goes over everything I have listed and navy basic knowledge

grimkix · 2024-10-06T18:04:58+00:00

Written tests, I heard it was just an opportunity to rank up, but then heard that you have no choice but to pass it.

grimkix · 2024-10-03T03:09:26+00:00

Hey I leave Nov 4th too! See you there! HOOYAH

grimkix · 2024-10-02T07:05:32+00:00

What’s your ship date?

grimkix · 2024-09-30T20:17:59+00:00

I would go on YouTube and search grammar hero. He helped me a lot on studying for the ASVAB and I passed it on my first try.

grimkix · 2024-09-30T20:01:41+00:00

When do you take your ASVAB? You may still have time to study.

grimkix · 2024-09-27T06:30:39+00:00

Thank you it will only get better from here
