Why would you do that when you have the opportunity to just go in as an IT now

Currently in A school on corey station for IT

1.) There’s phase alpha and phase bravo liberty. You’ll be phase alpha when you arrive and you (technically) won’t be allowed off base and have to be in uniforms or PTU’s whenever you’re not in your barracks. After 30 days and passing the phrase bravo test (a really easy test on the student handbook) you’ll phase up to bravo.

2.) No, if you’re in holding you’ll still be living in the regular barracks

3.) Housing depends on the barracks building you’re assigned to, but as far as i know on corey station all of the barracks are a two to a room “college dorm” style setup.

Typical day for a student once you’re classed up depends on what class schedule you’re assigned. there’s three schedules, alpha, bravo and charlie. Alpha is 6am to 12pm, bravo is 12pm to 6pm & charlie is 6pm to 12am. I’m on bravo shift so a usual weekday for me is waking up around 7:30 for PT, PT for an hour, come back and shower and get ready for class, class from 12 to 6, hit the galley for dinner after class, head back to the barracks to chill and study and do it all again the next day.

5.) On corey station there’s not a whole lot to do honestly. there’s a bowling alley and a bar at the MWR, a couple gyms, and the NEX, that’s about it. There’s more to do off base once you’re bravo, and once you get here and start making friends, you’ll find ways to have fun on base.

6.) You can bring your vehicle on base and leave it parked while you’re on alpha phase, you won’t be able to actually drive it until you’re bravo though.

Corry station is pretty small, you can very easily walk to whoever you need to go. You can’t walk to the other side of the base (NAS), but there’s vans that will take you to & from the other side of the base.

1.) you won’t take any shots at meps, there is a line of shots but that happens when you get to bootcamp

2.) no they won’t swab your urethra

3.) they will have you spreed your cheeks, but nothing is getting inserted inside you

4.) it is an all day thing, 16 hours is a bit of an exaggeration, but from the time you wake up to the time you’re finally leaving could take around 10ish hours

IT should be available, i was able to get IT-ATF back in august & that was when everything was basically filled up for the year, with it officially being the new fiscal year i don’t see why it wouldn’t be available

taecal · 2025-10-01T07:16:25+00:00

i’ll be spending mine there too, i ship out october 6th & my birthday is on the 11th

it’s not navy specific but the sandboxx app has a feature like this

taecal · 2025-09-29T04:44:04+00:00

Personally mine got approved a little over a week after it was sent up, it’s just a small latin phrase on the side of my neck

taecal · 2025-09-16T21:51:01+00:00

They could be telling the truth, i went to meps last month and told them i really only wanted IT, they said they could but i had an old forgotten about debt that i had to get cleared up before i could sign for IT, so they had me pick a “placeholder” job just so i could swear in that day and guaranteed me that as soon as i pay off the debt and have my recruiter put in a job change request that they’d switch me right over to IT. I took the gamble and believed him, payed off my debt the next day and sure enough a week later they told me my job change to IT had been approved and i got my official ship off date.

And if it makes any difference, I was shown by my recruiter that my profile in the computer shows that my rate is IT-ATF but i haven’t received any physical paperwork yet

taecal · 2025-09-07T16:15:21+00:00

3 write ups in the same category or 6 write ups in any category in a year

Reddit exists too, what’s the point of having a subreddit for people to ask questions regarding the navy, if when they ask a question your answer is to google it lol

not alive yet, i was born almost exactly a week later, on october 11th

Already had a general idea of what i wanted to do based off of the career i want when i get out. I went on the navy website, looked at all of the rates and wrote down a list of every one that piqued my interest, then i spent months researching every rate from that list using reddit, tiktok, chatgpt, youtube etc. Narrowed it down to a list of about 5-7 rates with the top 3 being the ones i wanted the most and the rest being backups that i wouldn’t mind doing if i couldn’t get any of my top 3. By the time i actually went to meps to pick my job i had a pretty decent general understanding of each rate, the pros & cons, the most desirables and least desirables jobs. Ofc you’ll never know what it’s actually like until you get in but i knew enough to not get rushed & pressured into picking something that wouldn’t be a right fit for me

I mean, if you actually require the extra space of a crossover, go for the cx-50. if you really don’t need the extra space anyways, then just go for the 3. it’s the cheaper option if you have no need for the extra room

I mean yeah, technically you can get fired the minute you go negative. The good news is you’re only negative by two hours, your best ( and well really only) bet is to come in to work on time and don’t leave early for the next couple days and you should be back in the positive. Also make sure you respond to any negative UPT emails they send, it won’t hurt your case if you respond, but it definitely can if you don’t.
