i'm not sure about the navy's basic training, so i can't help you much there.
all i can say is WASH YOUR HANDS EVERY CHANCE YOU GET
you will be surrounded by dirty, nasty, sick people who will cough, sneeze, and spit all over everything.
basic is a pain in the ass as it is, but having to do everything sick is even worse.

don't be a spotlighter, either.
just be another face in the crowd in basic. you don't want those asshole DI's knowing shit about you or who you are. even if you are a pt stud and do your shit like you're supposed to, they will still make your life hell.
oh y eah, you will be surrounded by a bunch of degenerate pieces of shit, who should probably be in jail, but somehow managed to get in the military.
if you have a decent MOS (job), that requires you to have half of a brain, you should be ok. don't lose hope.

he got that in basic? you must have one dirty bird for a son.
No, his foot problems started in basic, then he caught a case of skin fungus later. Smart guy like you should know skin fungus has nothing to do with dirt, he showers every day. I've had ringworm myself, you gonna call me dirty?p0ink said:
Caught the ringworm from my mother in laws cat.

most foot problems i saw in basic were from the nasty people who wore dirty shit, didn't change their socks, slept in their boots during FTX, etc.
and if he doesn't wear shower shoes....that's on him. the showers in the barracks are like baskin robbins with 60+ different flavors of semen on the floor.

HT is hull Technican; Basically shipboard welders, however a majority of the time they spend as plumbers.
A deck Seaman is an able-bodied man who spends most of his time as a laborer, in shipboard preservation. A fireman does the same thing for the Engineering plant, an Airman for aircraft, and a Constructionman for the SeaBees.

lol I'm not that dumb.. Sorry for the delay was outside shaving my mo hawk off lol.. I thought about keeping it for Boot but decided against it.. No my rate is SEAL - HM.. I've been in DEP since July and was real gung ho about it but these last 6 months I got lazy and put it in the back of mind.. Since in not so great shape for SEAL, I'll probably still work out with the SEAL motivators but will not try and go to BUD's directly after boot camp and request a chit after 6 months or so..

That sucks sorry to hear about that.. What is a P-3 Squadron though? They tried to jew me at MEPs and tell me if I didn't sign this they wouldn't ever let me in the NAVY and all this bull shit.. I told him to go shove it lol.. My recruiter drove down to MEPs and settled it.. The prick ass Yeoman who was a reservist for like 18 years and just got active less than a year or two before stormed out of the office all pissed because my recruiter went over him and got me the job I wanted..
Ya I'll probably be a doc with the jarheads until I get a slot in BUD's. Should be some fun shit I'd imagine.

Wear thong sandals in the shower.
It's a damn good way to learn what you don't like, that's the jokep0ink said:
Seriously, you get back what you put into it, you know that, chance to see some shit, collect some cash, get some training.
Having corresponded with young men in the service since I was 16 I can tell you honestly, it's cool if you have a good base, but if you have a shitty base it's hell and then some. My son has just left a shit base (McGuire) supposedly gone to a good one (Kadena) to finish his time out. All I can do is pray that it is as good as it's reputation

sealpup, are you nervous?
oh yeah, have as little contact with home as possible. no distractions is the way to go...
make sure suzie rottencrotch isnt trying to start all sorts of shit while you are gone. she will be getting tossed up by atleast 6 inmates. that is a fact of life, and you should accept it now, so you don't get all emotional during basic.
you don't want to be that guy wearing a pink vest, because you tried to drown your sorrows in a bottle of clorox, or have no shoe laces because you tried to fasten one end to your bunk and the other to your neck.
do not be that guy, ok?
promise me.

I have a long background in the service, and have known a lot of guys in the service, in addition to having had a bit of a stint myself ages ago, I told him before he went to basic:1. Do not fall in love son, you're too young anyway (he was only 18, he went right out of high school).
2. DO NOT, AT ALL, CONSIDER MARRIAGE! IF YOU THINK YOU WANT TO CONSIDER MARRIAGE, REMEMBER THAT THE DIVORCE RATE IS OVER 90%.
No need to swear, my son is my first born
Of course, the offshoot of this is that my son is essentially a male slut
*sigh*

My mom would keel over if she knew my sexual history.

lol washing your hands isn't going to keep you clean - it's freaking basic training! Expect to get dirty filthy nasty - and enjoy it!
Good luck bro!
p0ink said:
lol trust me I won't be that guy.. I'm not real nervous. Starting to get a little bit more nervous though since I only started thinking about it really today.. Stuff like this doesn't bother me too much since I don't think about it lol.. It comes when it comes and goes when its gone.. And I like the no distractions but if I don't right my mom I think boot camp will be the least of my problems because she will murder me lol..
Thanks everyone for the advice and kind words..
Be back soon.

you know, i have been to some hard military schools...but i would rather do them all over again than basic. the whole being treated like a child thing about made me lose my mind.
sealpup, get your hands on the bible, the koran, and/or whatever religious texts they allow you to have. there will be lots of down time, and you will want something to keep your mind occupied.

I don't know how much I'll write letters.. I think I will enjoy parts of just getting away from everything and not worry about anything going on back home.. I sort of like the idea of being unhooked from outside world.. We'll see though maybe I'll cry like a baby to momma back on home on letters.. lol.. Naaaa
