I'm sure the RDCs have an idea about each recruit....however, there is a formula they use for all the recruits---beat them down mentally for about 2 1/2 weeks and then start to build them up again like the Navy wants.  The only have 8 weeks and it is not a summer camp...all the recruits will do it the same way.........the motivation is simple...do it the Navy way

QUESTION -  How much do RDC's examine the personnel files of those in their division and how much do they know about the SR's backgrounds? Just curious as to how they go about the job and how much they know about these kids when working with them?

There are funny things that happen.  In our daughter's PIR a couple years back, they showed short video/glimpse at what the recruits went through from picking up their gear the first night to things in the barracks, training, etc., and there was one young man precisely - PRECISELY - folding a shirt on the floor before storing it under his bunk.  Suddenly this female voice rang out, "Why Jeremiah, you never folded a thing in your life!"  Great laughter in the hall.  Our daughter learned to take six-minute showers, too.

on a more serious note, it is a test of his leadership abilities.....think Eric learned that yelling at someone is not the best way to modify behavior....or to keep the head clean!!!

His mother says it is poetic justice that our Max is now in charge of making sure the bathroom is clean. A lot of yelling at home to get him to clean his own.

yeah....my son was master at arms for his division....had his mom and I rolling on the floor with laughter recounting his yelling at the other recruits about their bathroom habits!!!!  Don't know if Chili's in Gurnee will let us in the restaurant again!!!

Thank you! Any personal info/experience? Our SR was made Master at Arms.
