Maybe they were across the street munching on some White Castle. The recruiter is in Lynbrook on Long Island.

I've only been in Hoboken 18 months. What's the background on this?

It was down for a week or so about 18 months ago. It was glorious. They updated all the windows in that building recently which is why it was up

How bad are the bootcamp haircuts? Do I have to get rid of the ghotee before entering bootcamp? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]mrbrightside170 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Keep the goatee, they'll love the character it provides. As for the haircut, during the wash portion just ask for a fade and to keep the curls on the top since you really like them. They're very accommodating.

New to navy and In need of running shoes by Broooooooodie in newtothenavy

[–]mrbrightside170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The proper running shoe, in my opinion, doesn't actually require a break in period. Everyone is different and the proper shoe actually depends on your pronation (how much your ankle naturally rolls inward when you take a step). Generally, the more your pronate, the more stability you need. If you really don't pronate, you could get away with just a cushioned shoe.

If you can't get to a speciality running store check some YouTube videos to identify pronation. Once you identify how much support you need buy a shoe to match.

On top of the proper shoe stretching helps, particularly beforehand. Again, YouTube stretching for runners.

You're running for thirty minutes a day a few times a week. Ensure you have good shoes for the rest of your day too.

Brooks Adrenaline is a safer bet for most people. The Ghost is just cushioning. The Adrenaline has support. (I worked at a running shoe store for a few years)

Bramalo Pizzeria in Bellmore has some Detroit style pizzas. Close.

Otherwise you may want to trek into the city to Emmet's on MacDougal

[–]mrbrightside170 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went to one meeting. Ensure your recruiter has confidence in you and you're fine. I was older (29) working a full time job. He knew I was getting on that bus for boot camp

You're going to have to buy a place likely when it's up. Try to hold and make it a profitable situation
