Have faith that what you’re being taught will make you a better person and Sailor.” #facesofbootcamp Seaman Recruit Melany Lopez Prospective Rate: Advanced Electronics/Computer Field US Navy US Fleet Forces Command U.S. Pacific Fleet Naval Education and Training Command Navy Recruiting Command Naval Service Training Command MyNavyHR

“The Navy has taught me to be on time, attention to detail and the importance of a routine. I hope the Navy takes me to places I have only dreamed of, preferably somewhere tropical.” #facesofbootcamp Seaman Recruit Jack Driver Prospective Rate: Nuclear Program Candidate

“My faith in boot camp has brought me hope, discipline and the drive to keep going. As the religious petty officer for my division, I enjoy going to church on Sundays and seeing the senior divisions wave their 8-point ball caps on their final Sunday.” #facesofbootcamp Seaman Recruit Nasir Waltz Prospective Rate: Undesignated

Meet Interior Communications Electrician First Class (IC1) Jomo Terry, a Recruit Division Commander (RDC) at Recruit Training Command (RTC) Great Lakes, the Navy’s only boot camp. Hailing from Staten Island, New York, Terry began his journey in the Navy 14 years ago, driven by a desire for a change of scenery. “After high school, I really didn’t have a plan,” Terry says. “A friend of mine had just passed away, and I realized I was headed down the wrong path. I knew I didn’t want to stay in New York, so I applied to a few colleges out of state. When I wasn’t accepted, I decided to talk to one of the recruiters who used to visit my school. He was a really good guy and would tell me lots of sea stories that kind of hooked me on the idea of becoming a Sailor. It was a chance to get away from where I was and try something new.” Naval Service Training Command Naval Education and Training Command Commander, Navy Recruiting Command To read more of this story, click the link below: https://lnkd.in/dkFifFe3
