I can remember when I was in your shoes. Are they still doing DEP stuff? What would "DEP stuff" be? Delayed Entry Program ETA: You get a chance to prep for boot, that kind of stuff I did not participate in the DEP program, I worked until the night before I shipped. Do participate as much as you can, I ran a recruiting office, don't mistake what you see in a recruiting office for what the Navy is really like, recruiters are busy doing their mission - finding people to man the Navy. |

I was a CTT while stationed aboard the USS Long Beach. There was a group of guys on my ship that formed a band and played during the steelbeach picnics. They got in trouble for playing this.
...there's always that one Chief with zero sense of humor.

CTO = Operator. Basically the same job as a Radioman. Linguist weren't permanently assigned to my ship and only came along as riders. We even had a few Marines ride with us as a linguists. They caught a ton of shit from MarDet for living in our space, but their presence did wonders to ramp up the mysteries surrounding the spooks in the Land of OZ. lol |

<-Graduated from Great Lakes in 2006.
Get ready to freeze baby, that place is ICE cold in the winter. Lots of marching coming and be good at going from standing at attention and then transitioning to stand at ease every 10 minutes for 3 straight hours because someone did not fold their socks correctly. They will do this to you for about 3 straight hours, or until someone in your division passes out while standing up. You get to write home on Sunday's and the food is not bad. You will find yourself caring more than you have ever cared before about the most worthless simple task. You will care because you are sick of standing at attention or doing pushups or marching. Memorize ranks and the top chain of command from the potus all the way down to the CO of Great Lakes BEFORE you get there. I sure would have been in better shape if I would have done that. 
If I could go back to 2006, I would have gone AF and tried for a combat air controller. I think I could have wrote my ticket after my tie was up with that qual. ETA, I see that you have a summer ship date, so the cold won't be a worry. |

As an ET/FC, his basic tech course (Apprentice Technical Training, ~6wks) and A-school (3-4mos) will all be in Great Lakes, so he'll have the great pleasure of experiencing marching in single digit temps and brutal winds off the lake. I spent over a year there for ET A-school, often times there are lengthy hold times between the course schedule. OP, how old are you? Single or married? |
