Shipping out tomorrow

[nirvana]

Counting down the days, it's amazing that tomorrow is the day I ship off to Cape May, New Jersey for 8 weeks of glorious PT, screaming, and class.  I want to thank Hornet33 especially for allowing me to bug him incessantly for about a month or so with questions.  I couldn't have thought I'd join the military two years ago, and I definitely wouldn't have thought of joining 3 years ago, but now here I am with one full day of being a civilian left.  I thought I was jittery going to MEPS for the first time but that's nothing compared to right now.

I want to thank you all for allowing me to play with you firstly, and secondly for not blowing my pixels out of the sky more than you did.  I've made some great friends on here, wasted a ton of time, and even learned a few things.  Hope to see you all in 2 months but if not then my best wishes to everyone

Good luck bro! I remember back when you decided about the military. The butterflies will go away. I remember how bad mine were. Hit me up with a pm and I'll give you my email and cell number. Remember at boot to keep your mouth shut and stay under the radar. I want to be the first to thankyou for your service.

 Stay focused and one step ahead of the mindgames.

Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.

And for god sakes, stay away from anyone who thinks they're a medic.

Nirvana.....no reason to be nervous. Boot camp isn't going to be fun because it's not supposed to be. Just remember it doesn't last forever. When I first joined the Navy 18 years ago I was TERRIBLY nervous and boot camp was not fun at all. I spent alot of nights wondering what the hell I was doing there. I could never Imagine finishing my 4 year obligation if the military was going to be like that. But, I soon found out after boot camp that the military wasn't going to be so bad. In fact after I finally got to my first duty station-USS Nimitz and actually started doing my job I really enjoyed it. Sure, you have BS to put up with as you do anywhere else but it isn't all that bad.

-Don't volunteer for anything
-Don't draw attention to yourself
-Don't try to be "cool" around the "guys"
-Don't be a @zz kisser

You will do fine:aok

for your service:D

Good Luck !

Good Luck Buddy, Your going to love Cape May.....LOL....I went through Cape May in 1984. The Coast Guard is an Awesome Service, you will love the job.

As long as you like cold water and seasickness...

I know a couple of Guardsmen locally (they work out on Lake Ontario), you have got to be NUTS to take that job voluntarily.

But don't get me wrong, best of luck and have fun. Just saying... you're insane

[Bucky73]

I was lucky I never got seasick but I was on a Carrier so the size alone minimized the rolling and pitching compared to most. Watching some of those little supply ships get tossed about during underway replenishment was about enough to make you sick.

Weird thing about seasickness was....There was a fella I knew that had been in 17 years and spend alot of that time out to sea and he never got sick until the last cruise I was on with him. I guess I was always under the impression that either you were the kind of guy that got seasick or you weren't.
