Hi All,
This may sound hokey, but it's something to keep in mind. Do the best you can for both yourself and those you're working with, ALWAYS, be it in OCS, API, School, your first command, your last command, wherever. People are going to remember you as either being on top of things, or somewhere in the middle, or being a dirt bag.
This will, more than likely, be reflected in your FITREPS and in the minds of the people you work for and with. It's that reputation that's going to follow you in the Navy and, while there are a lot of people in the Navy, people know people, etc. and they'll remember you for being someone they want to work with or someone they want to sheeeetcan and send packing to places nobody else wants to go.
My advice is do the best that you can; that's what really counts.
