I will be shipping out in less than 2 months I already have a clear idea of the 2 rates that I want either CS or DC but more inclined to CS , I know someone that’s currently serving in the CS right now I was having an conversation with him this morning an he told me for the love of god no to go CS , he says that he has never ever met a CS that actually likes their job, that they are all miserable and they all did it because of the bonuses, any thought about this?

I will become a citizen during BC , I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge regarding this, and how is the process, do you still have to take the test and answer the question? My recruiter doesn’t have a lot of knowledge regarding this , he told me that I will be his first applicant doing this process

Any tips how to memorize this?? I already know pretty much all the required knowledge from the 11 general order, alphabet, rates , etc… but this is the one thing I am struggling to remember I just don’t get the pattern maybe someone can point me in the right direction, and when you get quiz during BC how is it that they go about? Do they show you something and you have to describe it?

I just signed up for some swimming lessons, I am really really bad my instructor wants to give me the best chance and prepare me the best way possible, what strokes are allowed?? And if you do ended up going to remedial swimming what strokes do they teach you there ??

I am signing my contract on Friday, my recruiter text me today that I should get an email in the next few hours and I need to complete it asap!!! regarding my security clearance and if I don’t do it my boot camp date will be canceled , I feel like he forgot to send me this awhile back because something this long and important shouldn’t be rush , is he lying or this is something standard to do 2 days before signing

How difficult is the swimming test ?? I am in really good shape run time on a good day 10:30 in a bad day 11:15 , 60 pushups , i can hold plank 5 minutes and overall good shape I know i can improve all this number before I go BC, but I don’t know how to swim, I have few friends that are in the coast guard and navy and they all keep telling me that at BC they have really good instructor and they will teach me in just few lessons, I am 34 and I want to sign up few swimming lessons but they are quite expensive I still have a little over 2 months before I go BC , so my question is if you guys think is worthy or just a waste of money, please let me know, thanks
