Answer 1

Don't let your emotions control you. YOU control your emotions.

Answer 2

You will be fine. I was a little fat kid and had a problem with the PT. But it's basic stuff. Running, sit ups, push ups, and something fun on the weekends called Bases. (I liked it) It will feel a lot like summer camp, that's how I saw it. Take only your required papers, learn your rank and recognition, Sailor's Creed, 11 general orders, Anchor's Aweigh, military movement, basically everything in your dep manual. Know that thing back and forth. I would be honored to help any of you that need it. Just drop me an email. :)

Answer 3

I leave ship out 20081103.



I'm doing IT and going in as an E3.

As far as advice??? Go to your recruiter or ask other ship mates if possible.  I used to live in Norfolk VA so it was easy getting information.

Answer 4

Obviously you're not if you cant realize that boot camp is for Marines.

Answer 5

Pack light. All you really need is the clothes you are wearing, and those will be boxed up within about an hour. Last I checked, we still call it boot camp, you will be wearing boots for 8 weeks... Mail, ask everyone you are leaving to mail you often. It's lonely not getting mail when everyone else does. Make sure you bring any pg 13's reflecting you completed your DEP PQS if you have. Once you get... (there) it's difficult to get your recruiter to send another. Finally, bring a sense of humor, if you take the yelling at you seriously, the tears come and they win.

Answer 6

Boot camp is only for marines.

Everyone else goes to basic training.

Answer 7

The best advice is set your goals short term. If you look at you time in boot camp as a series of training events you need to tackle the time will pass quickly and give you a sense of accomplishment more often.
