Got confirmed today! Not as early as I had hoped, but right now I'm just psyched that I have a date on a calendar I can point to!
Seems like a long ways off, but at least I don't have to speculate anymore.
Now I just gotta find some more gainful emplyment than what I do now so I can pay those college loans when they rear their ugly heads in November.
Anyways, I'll be shipping out of Nashville, Tennessee.

my was confirmed today..ill be shipping out of los angles on Feb. 12.

My is Feb. 6 2012

Good to see I'm not the only one, it was getting a little lonely here! Where do you ship from?

Shipping out of Georgia feb 14...

shipping feb. 6 *

I suppose I should have listed this under Feb. 6
I did Feb 7 because I live so close to my recruiting office, MEPS, and the airport I'll be flying out of.  No hotel for me!

Feb 7th, as well!  I ship out of Albany, NY

feb.7th for me too. out of Tampa, Florida

100 days! Hope everyone has their Helmsman by now.

Im shipping out of Los Angels on Feb. 7th. According to my recruiter we should all be in the same comany.Is this right?

Yup that's right, unless something crazy happens we'll all be in the same company.

Have my Helmsman and have been studying, running, swimming, and working out non-stop! The only part about boot camp I'm worried about? Not being able to eat constantly throughout the day like I do now!

Im shipping out of Hampstead, NC and i leave Feb 7.  Im very excited and im studying all of my required knowledge 24/7.

where is everyone from?

Only 50 days left! Hope everyone us enjoying the holidays

you guys ready?!

been hitting the required knowledge on my phone (flashcard app). The hardest part for me has been replacing "non-commissioned officer" with "petty officer" and other such differences from my days in MCJROTC. I memorized those specific general orders for four years so trying to remember to change one or two words sucks.
Other than that, been running and getting my body used to calisthenic exercises again.
Think though guys, now that the beginning is getting so close, graduation is also that much closer.

Officially nervous. Anyone else?!

definitely getting nervous! I almost think it'll be a weird sort of relief once we all get there, no more time to be nervous!

It will be a relief! No time to stress and we'll finally know what is actually going on, rather than wondering/anticipating what is going to happen!

Jon i couldn't agree more...Looking forward to getting there and getting into business mode..But im really nervous/anxious. I have a good feeling about this tho

Well only a couple more day's I hope everyone works hard as well try to enjoy the experience. Coming out of GA, to New Jersey ! excited I will turn 24 in basics though but It will be the most unique b- day girft I have ever received. Let's do this shipmate's !!!!

question Mobettablues: on what day is your birthday?  I'm sure the rest of us are gonna have to celebrate alongside you, so I'd like to know which day to brace myself for 

Definitely going to have some "fun" on your birthday Mobettablues ..hah

Just make sure no one sends you food or a singing card, that'll definitely get us extra IT!!!

Is anyone bringing long johns? I know it's been a warm winter, but knowing my luck and my hatred for the cold, the temp will drop as soon as we get there...

I've been keeping up with the weather in Cape May and looking at the forecast for our first week or so there.
It's been consistently in the mid to low forties, which from my experience doesn't necessitate long underwear (I've been known to go hunting with temperatures in the teens). At night though, it seems to drop to freezing regularly. I bought myself a new set of white long underwear, top and bottom, four bucks each. It's two more things to worry about stowing correctly but I'm a skinny guy, so if it gets much colder there I want to be ready.
That and, I really just needed a new pair of non-underarmour long johns.

From what I've read on here, you don't really need the tops (because of the heavy jackets, etc); I think I'm just going to stick to a pair or two of long underwear bottoms. And I'd much rather have them with me if I need them and have to stow them correctly than not have them and freeze!

Master, I'm not completely sure... please check on the fact that those bad boys are white. I thought the standard was dark blue but I could very well be wrong! Please check before you take it and have to stow it with civilian gear because only dark blue is allowed. I really can't remember...
