A Few Probably Common Navy Questions?
Question by Punanipikapikavroom: A few probably common Navy questions?
1. Boot camp, for the showers && bathrooms for females, is it all open area? Or do you have curtains? What happens with shaving?
2. I heard you get a wish list kinda deal, where you can let them know where you’d LIKE to be stationed, and if they can they’ll put you there. Is that true, and if so, how often do you get to go where you want? I was thinking San Deigo, CA, Jacksonville, FL, and somewhere in TX maybe, to put down if they have it.
3. I went to start to fill out paperwork and take my pre-asvab test, but it was decided I have to lose 20lbs, so I’m working on that, then I can take my real asvab test and get all situated. I took the pre test, but I didn’t fully fill out the form, I’ll be filling that out again when I go back, and on it I saw Drug History, say if you used to be a kinda big druggie as a teen && have lots of stories you tend to tell bout stupid shit you did, yay or nay to putting down the truth about what I’ve done? Or just don’t put it down && forget the past?

In boot camp females get curtains on the toilet stalls and open bay showers. The shower thing is only a big deal for your first shower with a herd of other females taking a shower in the same small space. After your first shower you will not care at all and you will be super happy just to be taking a shower at all because you are gross and sweaty most of the day especially if you go during the hot months. Don’t worry about it, you take a shower and don’t care about the other people in the shower with you.
Shaving you can shave your arm pits and legs once a week on Sunday during your Sunday routine which is a more relaxed morning where you can write letters and take a decent shower. You can’t shave anything else if that is what you are hinting to. You as a recruit get stuck cleaning the shower if you are on cleaning duty and you don’t want to clean up a bunch of female pubic hair so you won’t mind not shaving.
You won’t fill out a dream sheet until you are in “A” school and even then you get a choice of which coast more than anything else. East coast or west. Unless you are in some sort of aviation related job you probably won’t spend too much time in FL. TX totally totally sucks so skip it. We just spent two years there and it was the crappiest place on the planet. Your only choice is Corpus Christi or Kingsville, TX and you will only get that if you have a supply or admin job. NOTHING to do there and not much more than millions of illegal aliens. Food sucks and it is very expensive to live there with all their taxes and other crap. Normally your normal choices will be Norfolk, VA, San Diego, CA or Washington state. Any of those choices are great. Pick the coast closest to home if you want to make going home once in a while easier.
Using drugs is kind of common so talk to your recruiter about it. It depends on the type of job you want. Some it doesn’t matter others you can have any drug history. Best bet is to just tell them and get a waiver. That is easy. Lying will normally come back and get you especially if everyone you know knows your drug history. When they are doing your background investigation they could run into your neighbor or friend that will tell them everything about your prior drug use that you lied about and then you will get kicked out for lying about it. Just tell them and you will be fine. You can’t usually skip your past because you are not the only person who know you. Lots of people get kicked out when someone else discloses the stupid stuff that you could have still joined with if you would have just told them. Honesty is always the best even with the military if you are serious about changing your life.
