I'm off to good ole Great Lakes for Navy Boot Camp Tuesday...tomorrow I go to MEPS and on Tuesday I go straight to Recruit Training Command...I have a couple questions on leaving...
My Chief gave me a list of what to bring...some overnight clothes and some other varied, important objects. It says on the list to pack them all in a "small gym bag" All I own however are measly backpacks from my school days...would this be acceptable at RTC or will I be rebuked?
Also...I passed the DEP PQS for advancement to E-2 and my Recruiter tells me I'll be taking an exam at boot camp...when exactly do I take the exam and how does it work? Set you in a quiet room to take it and if you pass you get those 2 stripes for E-2 if not you just stick to E-1...?
Also, if anybody has any last-minute advice that'd be appreciated...I'm a shaky, skinny guy standing at 5'8" been wanting a military lifestyle for the longest time so my dreams of donning that "Navy" cap look pretty vague...will I be alright?
I just took the fitness test a few weeks ago when I had Bronchitis (spelling?) I was a second off from passing the ACTUAL boot camp...12:29 and the designated time is 12:30 for a mile and a half...? Is this a bad or slow run?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm really just looking for experienced answers and opinions...
Thank you anybody who takes the time to read it
