the Navy. Could any of you give me advice on how to prepare, what to expect, and most importantly how to "survive" boot camp.
I'm nervous I'll get there and won't last, && thats a waste of time.

From a guy who's "been there, done that" on both sides...Navy boot camp is all mind games. Do what you're told, when you're told to do it, HOW you're told to do it, and you'll have zero problems. If you're even in mediocre physical shape, you'll be fine. The PT is a joke. Just say "Aye, aye, Petty Officer," and it will all be gravy. No worries.

Do exactly what you're told, when you're told to do it, how you're told to do it.
Ping's been in a lot longer than me. I've been in a year and I just made it to my first ship, which we're currently deployed. What you'll learn in boot camp is very applicable out here in the fleet.

Any other questions, feel free to PM me. Might take a while to reply because of my watch schedule but I'll reply.
