Shipping in 16 days
Hi figured id come here and ask the NavyDads for some advice being that I dont have one to goto for some...
im 26...I ship out in 16 days or so.... i do the 1.5 mile run in 12-13 minutes outdoors in the sun basically uphill lol...at my age i believe they need 14 out of me though
80+ pushups and situps in 2 minutes
got the creed the general orders...anchors away...all ships and aircraft...watchstanding...first aid and firefighting(firefighter emt school under my belt) ucmj articals...naval history ....full definitions for honor courage and commitment all verbatum...
im still nervous and feeling unsettled for some reason like im not prepared... any advice for a 26 yr old future sailor to succeed among these 18 yr old young bucks?
anything im missing? anything i should prepare extra for in the next few days before i ship?
( i also have managment experience managing over 100 people)
thanks in advance!

concentrate on details.....when they say a crease at 1" from so-and-so....they MEAN 1" from so-and-so......
the biggest thing to remember it's a mind game...do what your told....help your shipmates master their skills and enjoy the experience..............

Fleets are based on geographical locations...as a ship moves around the globe it moves from one fleet's area of responsibility to another fleets.....
