I had it rough in bootcamp. As in rough what I mean is personal life got in the way and ruined my experience. I could not control any of this by any chance. A week before my battle stations it was a Sunday afternoon right after holiday routine. Around 1630 (4:30) I received an American Red Cross Letter in the mail. I was brought down to the OOD office with the chaplain and the LCPO. My first RDC opened the letter and read it to me. It stated that my mother was requesting presence of Seaman Recuit (My name) of the death of my father. I just sat there froze and immediate hallucination. As if my world just shattered in front of me. I didn't cry or do much. I was in so much disbelief I don't remember much on what I said after that. I called my mom me stating the first thing how did he die? My dad died of a Heart attack in his sleep that early Sunday morning. I did not sleep that night. I knew I was going to get set back in training due to this. But I didn't care I received emergency leave by Senior chief and went home that following Monday. Had his funeral and buried him on a Thursday of that week. Friday rolls around and headed back to the RTC Great lakes to finish out the last 3 weeks of bootcamp. 26JAN24 I sit here in my room right now texting this. It was the hardest thing to go though. Most recruits don't make it or go to seps. What I'm saying is I did it. A death was not going to stop me from serving this country even tho shit happens in life. You can't control anything of what happens around you but you can control yourself and be the best you can be. My dad would be Damn proud of me for making the sacrifice to raise my right hand at MEPS. Unfortunately that was the last time I would see him but I had to move forward to make my life. I hope this was inspiring to someone reading this long paragraph lol

I hope you’d doing okay man, I remember my brother going to the recruit training to become a marine and always sending him letters but damn man when graduation came I was damn proud so was my mom but just letting you know I’m proud of you man and so is anyone in your life that’s a huge sacrifice to make. Your a tuff mf your dad is most definitely proud that you didn’t let those inconveniences stop you. I’m looking into joining the navy myself once I get my ged in a few months.

Navy has been great for my nephew. He came from a relatively poor US Family. He entered right from High School. He worked his butt off and was first in his Sonar tech A-school. He has been all over Asia. He got his dolphins on an LA Attack sub in Guam. He spent 3yrs as enlisted on subs. He tested for the NAPS program and got into the US Naval academy. Class of 26. He plans to get his PhD and wants to captain Virginal class subs. I believe he will too. The US Navy has been nothing but positively transformative for this young man. Being away from home and his crazy parents was the best thing for him. Made him independent and single minded in improving himself.

advice , if your going to join the military then join the airforce . atleast with the airforce you get your own room and best believe as a grown ass man that matters and you dont realzie how much of a luxury it is to have your own room with your own chair with your own desk with your own space in your own room until you have to in a room with 4 other dudes . yikes . join the air force , stay on land , get a cushy office job and get your own room . you have a certain amount of freedom and luxury that the other branches can not offer .

1.) Traveling is true. The amount of traveling also depends on your rate. If you're in an Air Rate then your traveling experience doubles. 2.) Housing/Living is basically free. You can get your own apartment, but that will depend on what's going on. Like if you're state side for example you may get an apartment. If you're married they'll find housing for you. 3.) Depending on what ship you're on will depend on the quality of food. I was on an aircraft carrier and the food was garbage, but if you're on a base and/or overseas the food will compell you to slap your mother. 4.) The GI bill is circumstantial. If you don't get an honorable you won't qualify so do yourself a solid, suck up the suck and just do your time and get out. 5.) Shooting is also depending on your rate too. 6.) Depending on your rate will determine the amount of work you do. I was an ABE and all we did was work, sometimes it was just dumb work too, if you're an RP, or a PR for example the amount of work will be low so be careful on what rate you pick. 7.) Make the best of it. 8.) There are groups so make friends if you can. Your quals mean nothing on the outside of the Navy but in the Navy it can also determine how much respect you get, and I'm only saying that as an Abe

Coast Guard bootcamp it was mentally demanding a lot of general knowledge to study and obtained. What the recruiter told me to study that was only for week one and there was a lot of more to study for time to come. I also felt intimidated by the company commanders. When they would refer to me i would panic and blindout, so i ended up quitting a long the way. Who knows if i would had the same Fate with Navy.
