DEP-Leavin' for bootcamp in November
This group is for N4M members that have a loved one leaving for bootcamp in Nov...I will leave the year open so that even future Deppers leaving in the month of Nov of any year can join...Lets share stories, information, concerns, and questions
Studying for RTC
My son leaves 11/14 and just received the book he was supposed to be studying this whole time from his recruiter. We have struggled with getting any information from his recruiter and I'm a bit stressed that he won't be prepared when he gets to RTC. Does he need to spend the next few days studying like crazy?

It is very important that your future Sailor be physically fit prior to shipping to the RTC (these are new standards) and that he be able to pass an initial run test. See Navy Sets New Physical Fitness Standard to Start Boot Camp. "The initial run standard is evaluated on the 1.5 mile run of the first Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) at boot camp. The initial run standard for male recruits will be 16 minutes 10 seconds and 18 minutes seven seconds for female recruits."

My son just got his START book last week and he has been DEP since Sept 10th. I think they will learn on the plane and together. Recruiter didn't seem to think we should worry about it too much. Let him relax, sleep in, play video games and get it all in while he could.
