Since all of us are only a few days away from our R-Day's and I-Days, I thought it'd be good to have a thread to talk about pre-bootcamp jitters, issues of concern, and things that we're looking forward to!
The Coast Guard's R-Day is the 28th. When is your guys?

Tap Water
PVT: "Excuse me, Drill Sergeant?"
DS: "What is it?"
PVT: "Drill Sergeant, I cannot drink the tapwater."
DS: "Why not?"
PVT: "The impurities make me ill, Drill Sergeant."
DS: "Ill?"
PVT: "Yes, Drill Sergeant. I can only drink bottled water."
The Drill Sergeant paused a beat, unbelieving. Then he gestured at a nearby private.
DS: "Private XXX, go and help Private Tapwater fill up his canteen, and make sure that he drinks it. There's nothing wrong with that water!"
For the rest of the Basic Training, he was known as Private Tapwater. The other screwups like me were so glad to have him there, it saved us a lot of 'personal attention' from the Drill Sergeants. Thank you again, Pvt. Tapwater!
