For you Navy guys.

Be prepared for a maximum of 4-6 hours of sleep per night. That usually is the one thing most are not prepared for. Be prepared to be smoked(as a group) at moments notice for one recruits' screw up. Be prepared for the unexpected at all times. Go in thinking there is nothing that is going to stand in your way of succeeding. Listen and follow instructions exactly as you are told.

It'll seem like a long time while you're in the middle of it, but once you get to pass and review week you'll start realizing how close the finish line is. Last but not least, don't do anything stupid that could jeopardize your career, and keep your integrity about you at all times. Peer pressure WILL be a mf'er, so be on guard and make the right decisions when those situations present themselves.

Best of luck to you. I'm sure you'll do just fine. Keep us posted.

Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors aweigh!!!

Not sure when you were there, but like I said earlier, it's gotten pretty soft. When I went through 8 years ago they were required to give you 8 hours of sleep. So if they were getting you up at 4 am, you had to be in the rack by 8pm. Pretty lame IMO.

I know a few of you are either in the Navy or were in and I am about to sign my contract next week. Any advice for what to know before boot camp that they do not tell you would be much appreciated!

Don't forget to cup the balls and it is OK to be who you really are now ...

And here I thought it seemed like they were getting soft at the time I went through. 10pm-4am was the "allotted time" per the code at that time, but I don't ever recall hitting the rack that early or the lights coming on that late in the same night.

Yeah man, they were pretty strict to that when I went through.

Lol^^^

Hahaha^.

From what I have read the 800 division has to get up earlier for extra PT and conditioning so no telling how much sleep we are getting. BUD/s is going to be the true test of sleep deprivation so boot should not be an issue.
