Shit it was as quiet as a pin drop when they came around. I remember i use to hate going alone to get chow or liquidate my smart card especially wearing a navy ball cap when a master chief would walk by you and begin to fuck with you because you were a sailor now.

    Damn waking up at 5:00-5:30?? You recruits are spoiled. I remember reveille was 0400 everyday no matter what back when I was in 2000. Shit I always had the balls to 0200 watch because I knew how to do the deck log and was promoted to E3 because of it but gosh damn that was rough getting only literally 4 hours a sleep just about every night. The hardest thing about bootcamp was the first couple of weeks there and that P-day week. I have nothing but the upmost respect for those who take off from their home town to go do this.

    Company 359, 23rd Division, October-November 1986. Recruit Division Commanders, as they are called today, were referred to as Company Commanders then. The most recent pictures of RTC today, suggest that the whole base was torn down and rebuilt. Also, in my time there, whenever a CC asked you anything, you would respond, "Yes Sir" or "No Sir".

With one lad Chief petty officer Katherine Scott we rocked it ended up coming in second best company i respect you all that train troops thank you fir your service but I can tell you she would have never accepted any of those push ups I’ve seen here..
