Good for you! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and start some daily PT now. Have they given you any sort of guaranteed rating, or are you just going with "needs of the service"?

Good on you Whales! I intentend to be joining up as an SWO (Surface warfare officer) once I get out of College. Hopefully I'll be able to get into the Navy academy or ROTC.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I didn't know "former" Marines existed. Every Marine I've ever met insisted "Once a Marine, always a Marine.". ;)

The term refers to one who is no longer active. Just for clarification, while there are many former Marines, there is only one Ex-Marine, and his name is Oswald.

My advice is to hope your commanding officer is nothing like me.

As in job? Yeah, I am an AE/CF(Advanced Electronic/ Computer Field). Which is basically the guy who fixes the sonar/computers/weaspons computer systems. Etc. I'm sure you can find a better description online if anyone bothered to look.

I am :D not to mention my recruiter's office has a list of near 20 or 30-something peoples in DEP (Delayed entry, basically waiting to ship to basic) who all do PT together tuesdays and thursdays. My first day with them is Tomorrow, and I plan to come close to dying at some point.

I can attempt to ;) Funny story I heard from some marines while at MEPS, as one of them was reenlisting, one of them got ahold of a Navy sailors cap (The white one) and they all used it as an ash tray.

The advice I got from a Lt at a meeting nearby was to relax, attention to detail, and hide in the numbers for as long as possible.

Wonderful news. You are going to love it. I spent 4 years in the Navy what rate are you going to school for? Nevermind, read the previous post closer.

I was a sonar technician on the USS Nevada SSBN 733.
