Short answer: No.
Long answer: If you don't think you can stand to be yelled at, told what to do, where to go, how to stand, how to speak, or how to move on a daily basis for two months, then you will probably not like it very much at the least.
Becoming acclimated is the most difficult. People who have never been away from home will probably find the change in routine shocking. Recruits wake up every morning at 6AM, 0r sometimes 4-5AM during your first week when you're processing, and go to bed every night at 10PM; most lose weight due to physical activity and eating three balanced meals a day. Training starts after breakfast and doesn't quit except for meals. After dinner more training is conducted in the barracks until bed time.
It is best to be able to swim at least well enough to stay afloat and move forward in water, however, if you can't swim they will teach you (this is a pain in the butt and not recommended).
The easiest way out of boot camp once you hit the "what have I done?" stage is to graduate. If you really just cannot adjust to the military lifestyle it is possible to get out of your contract, but that will not happen during boot camp and more likely not until the end of your first year.
If you go into it with the right attitude--which is "do whatever they tell me to"--then you can actually have a lot of fun. Keep your mouth shut and listen very closely to instructions. When in doubt about instructions, it is best to do what everybody around you is doing. Just step back for a minute and realize the ridiculousness of the situation you've put yourself in and understand that it will end eventually.
It is supposed to be the hardest boot camp in the U.S. military. You have to be able to pass physical exams and the drill sargeants test your mental stability. you also have to go into a gas chamber with a gas mask on, and then you have to take it off. it's pretty hardcore.
It all depends on how you view it. If you look at it as a negative worthless 8 weeks, then it will be more difficult, but if you view it as a challenge and enjoy the workout then you will make it easily.
It's the longest, hardest and most stressful out of all the branches. a side from Special Operations training.
Very . They want only the best to survive and overcome boot camp.
If you made it through High School and played any football or other similar team sports, you'll make it just fine.
Navy boot camp isn't as diffcult as the Marines, or Army boot camps. It is tougher than the Air Force boot camp though.
yes, yes it is
Navy boot camp is quite hard and results in many dropouts. It is purposely designed to be difficult to weed out those who will not perform well at their duties.
Navy Boot Camp lasts for eight weeks followed by an "A school" after graduation.
Only through Navy Boot Camp.
"There was a Navy boot camp at one point in California, but it closed down in the early 1990's when the bases were reduced. The only Navy boot camp in existence is in Great Lakes, Illinois."
No. You can come straight from Boot Camp.
Boot camp workouts are workouts that are supposed to be very difficult and rough. Although most are no where near a military boot camp, these workouts will get you into excellent shape.
The truth of the matter is that boot camp will not be "easy" no matter what branch of the military you decide to go. Of course, the Army and Marines endure the most grueling boot camps, while the Navy and Air Force have the least harsh boot camps, but the degree of difficult will vary depending on what area of service you plan to offer in the military. For example, aspiring Navy nurses will not be put through such a rigorous training program as that of a future Naval seamen.
From personal experience I found that Army boot camp was quite physically challenging. It was just as tough mentally however.
No, but why would you want to?
SR is the designation of a Seaman Recruit, E-1. This means that they are in boot camp. On completion of boot camp they would be promoted to Seaman Apprentice, or SA.
after boot camp...hence the RECRUIT part of Seaman Recruit...idiot.
"The process of becoming a soldier, sailor, Marine or airman begins with a lot of paperwork, a lot of hurrying up to wait, and then the big step: boot camp."
