Alright....bringing the topic back to the top about the whole drinking thing at NNPTC--Im here right now sitting in my barrack...NO, NO WAY, NO HOW, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!! Even if you are 21...dont bring any alcohol on the site!! Lately...there have been some "problems" with A.) Underage drinking and B.) Out of phase drinking-- If youre underage and you get caught, youre gonna lose money...if youre underage and get caught and have an integrity issue...youre gonna lose money and most likely get deranked down to an E-2 or E-1 or worse go to the brig--oh and get sent out to the fleet as an undesignated sailor--so just dont do it. And if you really think about it--youre not just losing the 500 $ fine for the underage thing...if you get down ranked, you lose all the money you COULD have been making while everybody else is pulling E-4 pay--and it will go on your record as an NJP infraction, and you CANNOT re-enlist unless you have at least 3 years with a clean record...so that means you lose star re-enlistment bonus money. Its just a downward spiral...dont ya just love how the UCMJ works?? HA!!
They hold mastings every week here...theres one coming up for quite a few underages and out of phasers. The CMC, CO, and DOS are really coming down on all of that crap hard....
and yes there are single rooms--the Petty Officer suites are the same as the jr. sailor rooms...only instead of 2 of everything...theres one. The closets are about 4' wide and 2.5' deep...its plenty of room for EVERYTHING you will ever need...the only thing that hangs on my hanger rod are my uniforms...all my civies are in my drawers under my bed (yes you have a nice set of drawers under the bed...no coffin lockers) its a pretty sweet setup.
