I was talking to the Cpl. yesterday and there was no mention of a tie, just business casual. Course I guess I can hide one in my back pocket as required (though it will mean a different shirt). Smiles, Dugnut

I would have to assume some of the satelite pictures are rather old. I just checked out the Naval Yard in Oakland and found aircraft carrier 41 sitting there (Midway). Did a little research and found the following statement about this carrier. "On 30 September 2003, Midway began her journey...

That is a great clip, shows very little but says so much. Smiles, Dugnut

I asked the attire question, and the answer is business casual. So dress shoes and socks, (and not gym socks), nice pants and a shirt with a collar (tie is optional). Get in the habit of looking professional now, you will need to look that way for most of your life. Smiles, Dugnut

I am not sure who owns the rights to that short video, but it might be a great for Navy recruiting. While watching it I thought "Wow that looks so cool". Course with the right camera angles, and good track.... so can cutting my lawn.  ;D Ah the magic of media in the right hands. Smiles, Dugnut

To work with in the peer pressure of forum comments: I gave my notice... wait for it (have to look at a calendar), June 16? I told my boss the same day I got and accepted the offer from the Petty Officer (course I have no memory if he was 1st or 2nd class). My last day of work is August...

I am sure there will be a couple other fellows or ladies in the August 21st BMQ, but who knows... there is a big demand for 031 (and Army in general) not so much for Navy trades (or so what I have seen in the numbers). As for NCI-OP, I think the quota is 30ish for this fiscal year... so it might...

I wouldn't worry about being a target, if you wear camouflage, dye your hair green and carry two fist fulls of leaves, you can pretend to be a tree. Course in the photos of Afghanistan, I do not see any trees either... course what would I know... I am joining the Navy. On the Navy topic, I too...

I am pretty sure that the morning wakeup shouldn't be an issue, we all have enough time to prepare for an early wakeup time. Heck I wake up every morning between 5~5:50 AM and do not hit a pillow till almost midnight, plus I am nearly 30 (I work in a job designing/implementing/supporting call...

So following Sparkplugs lead, BMQ August 21 people (so far...): ArmyDave - INF  :cdn: Dugnut - NCI-OP  :cdn: PC1982 - INF  :cdn: Rory - INF  :cdn: Techie - LCIS-TECH  :cdn: Smiles, Dugnut

I we could do the same as Sparkplugs and create a list of who is going for the August 21 BMQ session. I guess I will set up such a list in a little while. Smiles, Dugnut

I am not going on the August 7 BMQ, but the 21st instead. I also do my swearing in on the 2nd at the Toronto Recruiting Centre (just like you ArmyDave). Though I am going in for NCI-OP, none of those combat trades (as per the recruiting Captain -  ??? - I guess Navy never gets to see combat -...

On the CFAT side of things, try to relax and make sure you can see the timer if you aren't using a computer (I cannot speak for the computer thing). Time will go so fast when you are doing the test and it can be over before you know it, so seeing where you are relative to the timer will allow...
