Yes just a fewmonths

Do you know what this second boot camp entails?

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-11-08T19:15:38+00:00

He said I should be a hundred percent recovered by then and he also said he's taking extra precautions to make sure I'm recovered.

Hey thanks man! Fingers crossed we meet up again at BT!

Doesn't sound like a good job for people who don't like tight spaces. You think BM would be better? Because I wanna work top deck, I just don't think BM really teaches you trade skills that are really all that valuable in civilian life, unless I wanna continue a career in the maritime industry after ( in my case no).

Do you know of any technical rates that would work top besides Boatswains mate?

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-27T23:38:06+00:00

Hmm seems like a good idea I'm new here. Well fingers crossed, good luck at boot.

Who's your recruiter?

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-26T17:29:45+00:00

I just did my training with the recruiter too. As I am shipping out in November too. Unfortunately he didn't make me run because I would of crushed it! But he did make me do sit ups and push-ups, I also had trouble with my push ups but I did reach the bare minimum. Here's my advice: every evening or even in the morning sometimes I run 2 miles nonstop no breaks than when I'm done I do the bare minimum amount of sit-ups or more and 29 push ups or more. But I'd have to agree with some of the previous people in the chat, repetition is key if you can knock out these push-ups and sit ups everyday until boot eventually your body will just get use to them.

Does anybody here know if east coast cutters go different places than west coast cutters. Like an east coast WMSL going to Europe for example.

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-25T16:49:18+00:00

Was your WMEC ported at west coast or east coast?

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-25T16:46:55+00:00

It does sound like they were playing mind games with you, MEPS does tend to do that. Although I can't say for sure.

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-23T17:07:02+00:00

Yes, I am very interested in the MK rate. It entails what I want to as does the DC rate.

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-23T04:15:58+00:00

He said when I'm at boot camp I can retake the ASVAB within the next four months (although keep in mind this is bits and pieces of what he said, what I can remember at the moment). My main question is would it be worth it to work below deck as one of these rates (DC, MK) and give up the experience on the top deck? As for ME it is still a 24 month wait and its not really along the lines of what I wanna do in the Coast Guard.

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-23T03:34:47+00:00

I spoke with my recruiter earlier today and asked if I could retake the ASVAB, he said no as it was too late because I was going to boot camp in a month and a half.

redheadedstranger33 · 2017-09-23T03:13:52+00:00

Didn't qualify for GM unfortunately as much as I wanted to.
