I have two kids who both left on 9/30 they are both on ship 11 div 390. They graduate on 12/12. I'm so excited for them. They both seem to enjoy it. They love the 3 meals a day like clockwork lol my daughter is a YM. I could hear the transformation in their voices already 🙌🏾 I braided her hair before she left and asked her how’s her hair holding up. She said she met two nice Jamaican girls, and they do each other’s hair every Sunday. I thought that was nice. My son, was a bit shy initially and now I’m hearing he’s opening up a lot. He said the confidence chamber wasn’t so bad. I remember before he left I would send him pictures when he and his siblings were younger and he told me” enough with the pictures mother.” I was a little apprehensive on sending him pictures while in there via the Sandbox App. I asked him if there any pictures he didn’t want? He responded with “Mother you can send me any pictures you want.”lol he requested for me to send him the Maze Runner series. He did say he was tired of people being sick in there. Ohh and when they got their first call my daughter was crying, because she misses home. I told her to tighten up, and don’t let them see you sweat and that I was super proud of her. I was crying in the inside, but I didn’t want her to hear me crying because I didn’t want her to worry about me. The second call was she and my son were very spry 😁

This video honestly deserve more views

[@everythingtonii]

@@mysterylegeend thank you! Remember to share 💕

[@roystervi]

Please do not choose an undesignated rate. The only reason to select undesignated is if you have a low score, as undesignated personnel do not have a choice in where they go. Do not leave until you have a school contract. Once you get to your ship, if a division is short one person, they will assign you to that position. If you are an E1, you will be stuck in that job until you advance to E4. For example, if you are a Seaman, you will be sent to Deck. Make sure to learn what people in Deck do. In short, secure a school contract before you leave for boot camp.

[@diego-eu7gq]

I met a six year Chief with this route. Mfk made Chief in one contract pretty much, & started off by chipping paint as undesignated. Everyone got their own path success is up to you

[@roystervi]

​@@diego-eu7gq Clarification needed:.....Are you saying you met a guy who made BMC in 6 years? Wow, that’s fast! The advancement from E-6 (BM1) to E-7 often requires a minimum of 3 years as a First Class before the board even considers you. That means he would have had to go from E-1 to E-6 in just 3 years while being undesignated. This is impossible if he started as undesignated. Please clarify and help educate others here who are looking for accurate information. There is only one reason why a person would enter the Navy undesignated: their score on the ASVAB test was very low. I’ve never met anyone who worked under me who scored high enough to qualify for an A-School but chose not to sign a contract. Instead, they’d rather chip paint, paint, and wash salt off the ship. Can you imagine a nuke saying, "I’d rather be undesignated"? Just two weeks ago at bowling, I met a guy who said he’d been a BM1 for 22 years, and he sounded happy about it. I was so amazed that I had to apologize to him the next day if my amazement came across the wrong way.

[@niyahboo5954]

Also how was the gas chamber?

[@yvnginvy]

Honestly its alright to be nervous about this. My best advice is to score your best on the asvab and find the rates best for you and ask about bonuses. The actual bootcamp experience is not hard, right now just focus on setting yourself up for the future for when u do complete bootcamp. My best advice: 1. Don’t volunteer for anything 2. Don’t trust anyone (maybe like 1 or 2 people 3. Stay to yourself 4. Do what you supposed to do And lastly. Bootcamp is a stressful environment. You will most likely always be getting yelled at and making mistakes casually. But the thing is to learn from everything and not take anything to heart.
