I'm shipping 20110705 myself. It's good to see I'm not the only one concerned enough about my future to research it. Seems like everyone else in my DEP doesn't care, they're just "going with the flow". I'm the currently the DEP RCPO so I'm trying to get through to them, but they just don't get it. I'm sure they'll regret it eventually    :D

A year after you are in the military, you will realize just how important this is. Go spend time with your family and friends, not on this website (or any other for that matter) unless you have a SPECIFIC question pertaining to your entry. No one can really tell you whats going to happen one way or the other, so worrying about it useless.

It won't even take a whole year to truly realize how important time with family is. While at RTC, you won't have a ton of time to think about it but when you get to Goose Creek and your busy schedule suddenly isn't so busy (during indoc), it will hit you. Cherish every moment with family now for they will be fewer and further apart in the future than you can comprehend at this point in your journey. That being said, three more days until I get to see my son and parents!!!!!!!!

I DEPed in on 20110202 and I don't ship to boot until Sept 20. I just have a few questions for anyone who has been through the "A" school about the level of difficulty of the courses. I attended NYU for 2 years where I was a Neural Science major before I decided to do something more exciting and meaningful with the best years of my life, and it seems that, being a science major, I have already taken most of the classes. Are they college level, or more difficult than that? Will it be more of a review for someone like myself who has had previous experience with the subject matter? And is there a ranking system, with benifits and/or promotions for higher scoring sailors, or is it just a kind of "pass/fail" system? Thank you for any advice in advance.

Why don't you use the search function as this is more than adequately covered under various topics. You've already failed the first test Mr NYU.

I just cast a level 5 flame shield for you, thank me later.

PS. Good luck in school, if you get there... I'm nearly finished at NPS, it is really not that bad ;)

I would say something about being  [OT] but this seems to be a Seinfeld thread, it's about nothing it's but entertaining anyway.

Hello,  I dep'd in at the end of Feb.   I ship out 2010/12/13

Thought I'd give a little update. I wanted to thank all the active posters on this forum for providing insight into their experiences in the navy, I remember many long nights before shipping to boot camp reading as much information about what I was getting myself into; wondering if I was making the right decision. So far, I think it is probably one of the best decisions of my life.

I made it to boot and graduated at the beginning of the year.  Was a hell of a ride, fun as hell but wouldn't want to do it again.  To all of the future shippers, don't let the RDCs get into your head.  Remember that it is a mind game, and it is their job to break you down!  When you finally finish up, and are putting on that Navy Cap for the first time.  Stand tall, never lose your military bearing, and be proud of who you have become and what you have accomplished; however, always keep in mind there is harder work ahead.

I have also managed to make my way through the majority A school (EM) with a 3.5GPA, set to graduate here real soon.  I've seen many good men come and go, some for discipline reasons and many more because they just didn't know how to study the material quick enough to digest it.  If I had any words of advice for A school, make sure you work hard enough on your academics that you are not forced to work hard on your academics.  0-0 or 10-0 are a whole lot nicer than 20-3 or the worst case I have seen yet 29-4.

If any future shippers have questions about boot camp or A school feel free to contact me, and I'll do my best to provide a recent insight into what is ahead.

Tell Talbot to suck it when you get to power school ;)

Good luck, A school is the "joke", power school is when it gets "fun". Dont lose focus because you did well in A school.  Remember, its only 6 months of hell, and hopefully you continue to do well!

Also remember, people that arent in your position yet wont have a clue what "0-0" means yet lol

This thread seems as good a place as any to make a first post.

Really, I just want to thank the community here for providing me with more information than I could possibly have asked for when making the decision to go into the Nuclear field.  I entered DEP on the 1st of August and ship February 16th.  I was rather unmotivated in High School but having decided on the Navy I've got a bit more fervor in accomplishing something in life.  I know Nuke school isn't something to play around with and I'm not going to pass this opportunity up.

Again, I just want to thank you guys for providing a community so well equipped for those as green as myself.  Hope to be able to post here in about two years time and say I'm not just reaching for the heady heights most of you have already realized, but have instead found myself among you.

Good Luck!  When things are going crappy (and they will go crappy at some point) remember the reasons you joined and the life goals completing the training pipeline will help you reach.  Remember that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and nothing is ever as good as it seems.  Do not let inertia affect important decisions.

Swore in October 18, 2011. I ship on July 10, 2012. Long wait, but I'm excited about it nonetheless.

I'm looking at the process of joining the military as a transitional period in my life (I first submitted my OCS application in December 2010; not selected). Even though I still have a while to wait, it's nice for the end to be in sight.
