He's just asking for a Christian perspective on things and I think that's a valid and interesting thing to ask. But Whalebite, you are a very funny man. This site is absolutey great and I'm sure somebody can help him out.

Your real test of keeping you Christian values will be when you get commissioned and in the Fleet.
No, I'm not talking about the responsibilities, leadership and the thought of the lives of the men and women in your hands. Dealing with your fellow officers, Christian or otherwise in a bureacracy and seeing if you can maintain your Christian values while doing so.

PLC Jrs 1st Inc. Kilo-3
I'm a Christian that just got back from PLC Jrs a couple of weeks ago, and can say that religion was very respected there. Every night we had a lay reader pray for us, and there were religous services offered on sunday and one week night during the week called prayer and praise.
It is always nice to have a video camera while you are the designated driver on TAD's, then you will really laugh you a$$ off. I mean you will see guys just act stupid, it is fun. Married men trying to pick up women, while their wives think they are resting from the long days work. TAD is always a blast. Then the next morning when they all watch the video, it is laughter in the whole shop. You can only imgaine what people say when they are drunk. I love the few times i did DD as an E-2.
I can help. If you're Christian, you will be treated like s--t at Navy OCS. If you are NOT Christian, you will be treated like s--t at Navy OCS.
I realize that this doesn't answer the question. I am a Christian, and I went through Navy OCS. All I can say is, it's tough. My Bible (the only non-OCS and non-contraband reading there) was a big help. It was the only way I could get away from the OCS environment until we were able to take liberty. A great help, but by no means necessary.
If your question goes deeper, as Michael alluded to, then you'llnot find the answer at OCS; and perhaps you should find it elsewhere before agreeing to go...

Wow, what awesome responses! :icon_smil
Sabre170~ it looks like we'll be at OCS at the same time, look foward to seeing you there.
Micheal W~ LOL! Actually, my former church was an Assembly of God, went there 10 years. Such a random question! Why do you ask? Have I been exposed to some radiational bioagent? I always like to double check. :watching3
Dunedan~Actually, though, I think you've answered my question pretty well, thank you. and... this recruit knows her determination to become a Naval Officer is strong and her faith is stronger.
