I personally would wait until right after OCS or when you get to Charleston. You won't really drive much during OCS (unless you end up in med pool or something crazy). When you get liberty you can take an uber/taxi/ride with your shipmates. I don't know if you are coming from L.A. or Louisiana...

I would suggest slathering on the gel. Some frizz is expected during PT (you may still get flack from it...an inch may be too much), but you won't have long to fix your hair after PT so you want to make it as easy as possible to fix.

Welcome aboard!

I have never heard of anyone having to put in their two week notice because they receive their FINSEL. I received my FINSEL around 15JUL15 (OCS start date: 27SEP15)...I just left my job this yesterday. I could have stayed longer but I wanted to take some time off before OCS. I know someone who...

Awesome...feel free to join the Facebook group.

And the truth comes out...you are trying to scope out who to pick on lol jk. Thanks for all the tips. So to be clear you are saying we need two pair of running shoes for actual running? Not one for running and one for inspections. Also, is there anything you didn't bring that you wished you had?

Welcome aboard! Feel free to join the FB group.

Be careful what you ask for *insert evil laugh* lol

Welcome to the class!

That is my understanding.

I would definitely tell your recruiter. There is a good chance s/he and the Navy will find out anyway. You don't want to get to run the risk of fraudulent enlistment.

I have never seen that movie lol

I need both of y'all to slow down...sheesh lol.

We will totally be an Honor Class :D

I totally am lol. I am more so worried about the failing the IST and rolling within like that first week. I'm exercising...it still just worries me that I will have a bad day lol.

Here is an early welcome aboard!

Boo lol. I guess seeing isn't necessary to pass the swim qual lol.

Don't know if anyone can answer this, but can we wear contacts during the swimming qualification? I know generally we can only wear glasses, except like right before we graduate.

Welcome aboard! Excited that you are joining the class!
