Feb 15th is my ship date from Boston. Anyone else shipping out this date?

Also, what's the temperature like at Cape May in April?

looks like I'll be a one man company!

Im with you. Im shipping from Los Angeles, see you there My name Jemal Davis,

Hey Jemal - I'm Scott. Glad to see there is someone else coming with me. What rate are you thinking about going for?

I went this last February. It was snowy as hell the first week, Rainy for 6 weeks and sunny for 4 days at the end during my stay in good ol' cape may. Also, be very careful about posting your names, your CC's will use that you are a blogger against you. I know mine did. Good luck guys! also, congrats on getting in.

My recruiter put in for me to go on the 15th of Feb. I'm suppose to find out for sure the first week of January.

nice, where you shipping from Milk?

coming from the Panama City, FL area. I'll ship from Montgomery, AL.

Milk, any word on your ship date?

6 weeks left... reality is setting in!

Yea I actually had a few things pop up on my credit report that I had to get fixed this week. Gotta fax some things and then request a new date, so Feb 15th will no longer be my date. I'm guessing it'll be sometime mid-March when I arrive as long as nothing else comes up. Goodluck to you guys.

Bummer, I am worried our company is going to be very small or that not many have discovered this forum! in which case they will be very ill informed. I need to work on my push ups...

Hey guys I ship Feb 15 as well from Los Angeles, can't to get there and get boot camp over with, what have you guys and girls been studying for our required knowledge.

thanks

7743, good to know there is someone else with me!

Hope you like cold weather haha.

As far as req. knowledge I've been studying my 11 general orders - not much else really. Chain of command we wont know until we arrive at BC. The nautical terminology I haven't really studied but it seems pretty straight forward

I wonder what would be our company name

I believe we are either going to be Quebec 184 or Romeo 184. We won't know for sure until we're a little closer to our date.

Hi, I would like to know more information about ship date? Which is the best place for shipping ?

The only place to ship from is MEPS. There really aren't options as far as that is concerned.

anybody got the general orders down without looking at the Helmsman

1-6 i've got no problem with. 7-11 i've got them all memorized but mix up the order.

Looks like we may be Romeo 184!

I found once you have them memorized, start trying to memorize just the verb with the number.
1 To take
2 To walk
3 To report
4 To repeat
5 To quit
6 To receive
7 To talk
8 To give
9 To call
10 To salute
11 To be

Normally if I can connect # with verb, the rest just naturally flows through aesthetic memory.

Roe,

That is incredibly helpful! thank you.

I'll be joining you guys too. Any other females? I feel like I'll be the only one :/

I don't think there are any other females on this forum shipping out this date but I highly doubt you'll be the ONLY one in our company. Aaaaand if you are.... i'm sure you'll do just fine.

hey everyone!! Lauren from San Diego here. just got my ship date changed from the 22nd to the 15th! i cannot decide if i am more excited or nervous at this point. i just purchased all my items yesterday and now im just waiting it out. its finally a reality now!

Awesome! That must be a crazy feeling to go from having 2 weeks straight to 1 with barely any notice! Looking forward to training with you.

Our last week as civilians now guys. get it out of your system now.

oh i am eating as much Mexican food as possible! and soaking up as much sunlight as i humanly can as well!!
