Same for me. Well that is good insight to have on the date. Why did you recruiter say to expect that?

I'm not sure of the details on where they got that date, they just told me to expect it, with the caveat that it's not final until I get the FINSEL.

Fair enough.

How is everyone keeping themselves occupied? I moved back home and I am starting to become a little stir crazy. Only so many hours in a a day that I can workout.

 

[RGONZA14]

I've been hitting the gym a lot, studying Appendix B, and basically trying not to go crazy. I moved back home too. As much as I love my parents, they're driving me crazy. I was living on my own in NYC before this so it's quite the change.

 

[Shamgar]

Ha. I was living in the Bay Area. Now I am back in a farm town, so I feel you.

Lol same here. Lived in Chicago, now back in the suburbs... literally in the basement.

Dallas ---> tiny hometown with parents. Working out and studying, and substitute teaching for $$$, trying not to kill children.....or my parents.

I feel y'all. Went from living in New Orleans by myself to shacking up with my parents in a sleepy small town. So ready for Newport.
Y'all know where you wanna be stationed/what kinda boats you want? Anyone read any interesting books recently?
I've been reading some of stuff from here: http://www.navy.mil/ah_online/CNO-ReadingProgram/canon.html

San Diego and a Destoryer.

Read this book called Stealing Fire. Part of it went through all the neural science that SEAL Team Six has been doing to optimize performance. Really fascinating.

Ironically, you should totally read The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson. It's not specific to the military, just a good life book! Lol. @crimsonhaze14

Los Angeles to a rural PA town of less than two thousand. At least there's a grocery store and a gym here.

Anyone else thinking of heading out early to Newport a few days before we (eventually) start OCS to explore/acclimate to the area?

I'm planning to get there at least by Saturday mid-morning/early afternoon. Not sure if I'll want to show up too much sooner than that, maybe one day earlier, if anything. What about you?

 

[Shamgar]

Didn't see this coming. I have to do a PRT on September 30th. Apparently I have been waiting to ship that long...
