I've been in DEP for about two weeks now, and can't wait to be off on my way to bootcamp. Make no mistakes, I know I won't like basic, but I'm excited about it none the less, because its something I want to do. Same thing with NNPS.. I've always been an underachiever in school, doing just what I need to to get by, despite having the abilities to get to much better (I'm a senior now, and my classes valedectorian is a good friend of mine who has been yelling at me routinely since 7th grade about how I should rank higher than him), and I know the time to change that is now. The tremendous amount of school work for whatever reason sounds like an exciting idea to me. I look forward to changing my life around. Part of my decision to join the navy was because of the level of organization and discipline, that I know I could never achieve just on my own.
But now that I've given you my mini-bio, on to my actual questions. What kind of things can I bring with me to Charleston, as far as personal effects go? My laptop? A car? I have a pet rabbit, and a rat. Would I have the option to live off base, so that I can bring them with me?
Also, quite unrelated, but I'm curious. I've seen lots of information on here about what a typical day while in the pipeline is like, and lots of information as far as what actually being deployed is like. However, I still wonder, what will my typical schedule for basic look like? Like what can I expect as far as a typical day goes?
