What do you do during the wait?

I'm just an SNA hopeful, so I know it doesn't relate to me, but I was wondering... I've been reading about long waits for IFS and then API. The way some people write on here, it sounds like the Navy doesn't make you do anything. Surely you have to do something navy related during the wait... right?:confused:

Pretty much. Doesn't hurt to at least familiarize yourself with the API books, but don't go overboard.

Oh, and on the whole keeping khaki's in the car... they've done away with PT gear mustering. Saddest day of my life. :eek:

The only time you should be familiarizing yourself with the pubs are when youre sittin on the crapper. Period. End of discussion.

Drink, sleep, eat, crap, repeat. Enjoy A-pool now bc there wont be anything like it once you start.

Sounds to me like you're not quite ready to be an SNA yet. You should know this and only this, when the Navy does what it does best......makes you hurry up and wait, you drink and you drink hard. API is spoon fed, no need to look at books prior, study prior, etc. I'm older but I'm not that many years out of the loop. Always enjoy your time off, in the future, you may not always have that luxury.

Can't tell you how many other experienced guys I've heard that from; therefore, I plan to follow your advice. :D

Oh say it ain't so!!! Oh well, its not like everyone was staggering from muster to the gym to PT anyway.

Yeah, the command got tired of a few nasties going UA, telling the CO they didn't have SDB's, etc. The crackdown has begun.

I guess if they're quoting DQ and Kirbs, then it's not that bad, but I would generally run the other way if the press wanted to quote me.
