Wow, what an adventure. I must say that Recruit Training Command Great Lakes was quite possibly one of the best experiences I've had so far in my life. Our RDC's were very helpful teaching us everything such as teamwork, confidence not only in yourself but others, honor, courage, commitment, and skills such as firefighting, marching, marksmanship, and swimming. I spent a short 7 1/2 weeks at boot camp and it was something I'll never forget. There's not really a whole lot I can say about what we did, mainly because I'm not allowed to disclose that sort of information. One thing I can say though, if you ever decide to join the Navy, it's one of the easiest things you can ever do. Just do what you're told to, do it right, and give everything 110%.
I'm currently sitting back home in St. Louis, MO. on 10 days leave right now for Christmas with my parents. On January 3rd, 2009 I have to report back to NSTC (Naval Service Training Command) in Great Lakes, IL. right across the street from RTC Great Lakes, and spend a whole 211 days there for A-School training for my rate as an Electronics Technician (ET). While in boot camp, I made the rank of E-2 5 weeks into it. I haven't received my stripes or my collar devices yet, but I will as soon as I report to my A-School. If you ever have any questions about boot camp at RTC (NOT pertaining to Battle Stations), just e-mail me at thejmann07@gmail.com
