yes im nervous about the weather. its gonna be cold. and im gioin to do AST but i looked @ BM too. i think they would both be interesting jobs to do.

hello everyone, just thought i would give you guys a chance to ask any questions you may have. Im a gunners mate and i have been in 3 years, if i can help you with any questions let me know.

Hey guys, Hit me up in a PM, will be pretty nice to know some of you before heading to cape may.

Hey guys, I am flying out of Los Angeles California! ready to go already and still deciding between AST and DC!

Finaly more people from the west coast. im looking @ AST too there are so many exciting jobs its hard to choose. and ya im getting restless waiting to go.

everyone wants to be an AST anybody going for MK?

I see alot of us want to be AST's haha. About a month ago I was on vacation and me and my family stopped at a CG station and talked with them for awhile. I was talking to a guy who had graduated three months ago from boot camp and he said that when he was there they had something going on where if you were interested in being an AST then you could go and try out the physical test. Pretty cool hopefully we could get a chance to do that.

Yeah I heard about the same test if you pass it its good if not they train you and come back twords the end of boot camp. I want to do AST but im really looking into MST now it seems really interesting.

one more week! see you all soon!

I'm a little late to this conversation, but I'll be shipping out on this date from Detroit, MI!

late is fine! welcome!

Anyone have any idea on what company we are going to be? Or what hall we will be in? I've tried to figure it out with no luck. I'm getting super excited to get this journey started! Hows everyone doing with the required knowledge and PT?

I need to figure that out too, Also what our address will be? So I can tell my wife, or we learn that after we get to boot camp? Are you guys nervous!!!??? I am, hehehehe

They get a letter in the mail telling them all that information. We won't get our Hall until we become an actual formed company.

A little nervous, but more excited. This has been a long time coming. Studying hard to remember all this stuff
