Yes I did have the 1.5 mile run test! You have an initial pfa, which is pretty similar to your final one with push-ups, planks, and run, and then you’ll have an RDC Assessment Week 4 to make sure you can pass the official, then week 6-7 you’ll have your final pfa!

Depends on your age but the youngest category is a 14:45, if you don’t make it you get rolled back in bootcamp so you stay until you can or they kick you out. Only way to really get better at running is to run and controlling your breathing

Hey Brianna! As of right now I am in DEP for the navy. I have signed a contract for nuc and I am suppose to leave March 15. I’m just curious as to how long it took for you to find out about your secret security clearance. It’s been like 2.5 months since I filled my paperwork out. It’s making me very anxious lmao
@briannawood2124 2 жыл бұрын
You’ll find out 100% once you get into A School! I was worried about mine so I understand. They’ll give you badges with your information on it, different color golds mean if you have your clearance. Can’t say too much but that’s my best way to explain. So counting when I started my paperwork to when I found out, was about 4ish months. Good luck FS!

I have some questions. After you finished your boot camp, how did you get your things which were already packed for a school? How much weight could you bring, like just a carry-on baggage or even a checked baggage? Could you go to your a school by your own plan or with other sailors, like military plan? When could your family start to ship things to you, to your A school?
@briannawood2124 2 жыл бұрын
So a lot of this stuff depends on your A-school and what your rate is, and I can only speak for my rate 😂 but I had some small things packed in my backpack that I took to bootcamp and a small carry-on suitcase that my parents sent to my A-school in a box. We were allowed to get things shipped pretty much as soon as we were processed in so like a week.
