Good Luck to you Sir and wish you every success with your endeveour

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 01-07-08, 11:47 AM

Thanks, it has been great beening here and seeing so many improvements to SH3.

Been there, done that, and had a blast! Just remember this, no matter how rough it might get (depending on your RDC's) it's all just a game to them. Tough it out and you'll be glad you did.

It's easy as hell, just keep yourself looking sharp and you'll do fine

If I can leave you one last hint for success, I hope you pick a squadron, not a ship, cause it's so much better living on dry land and not in a berthing, especially as an airman - you get so much more personal liberty.

Good luck, beware of U-boats once you're out of basic :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Take care!

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 01-07-08, 03:25 PM

Well with any luck I'll get sent to Europe first since I've never been there in person before. If not well my options are stay here in the US, or go to the Pacific.

Doh, im an idiot. Your talking about the real deal, not a game.

Good luck.

Best piece of advice ive heard, (and wish i heard before i went to baisc)

"Don't be first, don't be last, and don't volunteer for anything"

Good luck to you sir...March will be the 35th anniversary of when my old bones 1st graced Great Lakes Navel Base

Damn that was a long time ago:rotfl:

ronbrewer · 01-07-08, 04:24 PM

That advice is right on. Just keep a low profile. I remember a couple of guys coming into basic with their heads already shaved and that proved to be a very bad mistake. I figured they just had a bad recruiter that didn't spend any time with them before their departure date.

The advice I got was to remove any picture of a girlfriend or wife from the wallet. During shakedown it gives them one less thing to rag about. Also, don't take a lot of money with you. The ones that did had to write down the serial number of each bill so as to prevent stealing.

The first few days you may feel like you've made a mistake but like the other poster said, it's just a game. The one yelling at you all really wants everyone to graduate. It's a pressure game to make sure you can handle it.

After a few days when you hear the yelling you will no longer tense up. Instead, you'll just think "Looks like someone is getting chewed out."

Is that even valid these days? I went in back in the VietNam era, and when I pulled the "don't volunteer" line, my CC said "The Army has a draft; the Navy doesn't. When you signed on the dotted line you volunteered for everything!":rotfl:

Anyway, best of luck, Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg.
