For some reason that knowledge just got drilled in my head and got stuck. You'll defininitely remember them pretty quick.
"RECRUIT! What is your eleventh general order!?"
"Chief, I...uh. I will find out, Chief!"
"BACK OF THE CHOW LINE, RECRUIT!"
Something about my meal being put in jeopardy that makes me learn things quicker.
Shelby, you've already got a foot in the door with JROTC! Make sure you stay sharp on your military knowledge and you'll be good as gold come I-Day at NAPS! Knowing the ranking systems of all the branches will be very beneficial, especially since you'll be serving in close quarters with Marines both at NAPS and USNA.
Again, all of this will be presented to you in due time at Prep. The program (as is any basic training program) is designed for a person with the least amount of military knowledge, so don't worry if you can't get everything. As mentioned above, the military is really good at finding ways to make things stick in your mind....
The best thing you can do is prepare yourself mentally for the exhilarating journey you are about to embark upon. If you're ready for change and ready to adapt, everything else will fall into place.
I look forward to serving with you at NAPS!
