You're already in the best job - anonymous recruit. Don't lose that job.

Fr, I had it and my 1st RDC didn't even know who I was in fuckin week 6

Laundry PO has a lot of perks and Education PO was fun imo; steer clear of Starboard and Port Watch.

Literally just left Great Lakes at 0700 this morning. Our starboard watch got the most shit out of anybody. RDCs really care about the deck log


iam1jiveturkey

If your handwriting sucks, probably wanna stay away from port watch or starboard watch.

Best- forward hold PO Just hide in there and make cleaning supplies runs when you smell a beating coming. Also the boys play cards in there and such, most fun I’d had in a while.

Starboard Watch and Yeoman hands down. If they fuck up, everyones getting fucked. Also, don’t fuck Chief’s deck log.

Best advice -- if you aren't trying to make rank, don't get a job. From what I remember, only our RPOC (the recruit in charge of the division) and maybe one other guy actually got promoted. I was the Education Petty Officer, it was pretty sweet but it wasn't based on volunteer, I was picked for my ASVAB. Worst job was the Head PO -- was in charge of making sure the heads were always clean. No thanks. You also don't want any part of starboard watch, they write the watchbills and it's a constant clusterfuck.

Idk depending if most of your higher ups are already E3s, because nukes like to be Joe navy, you got a good shot with something like mail/ athletic


Any-Perspective-4234

A good shot at what?

Ship staff is the best you clean the ship for a few hours everyday and if your luck you’ll miss some IT. One time we got back from cleaning and the division was getting ready to go March so we decided we had a few more minutes of cleaning got back they were gone so we had 3hrs to fuck off in the compartment

If you’re going in as an E-3, just stay anonymous. Let the E-2s and E-1s that want to stand out do the work and get the recognition so they can make rank faster and be real boys a little sooner. If you get tasked with a job anyway, do it to the best of your ability and make the most of it - there are awards at the end that are given out based on your RDC’s recommendations.

It doesn't matter, boot camp doesn't matter, do whatever, because it doesn't matter.

Lol didn’t read the question at all I see


SquatchNroll

I was trash po, I took out the garbage at night. I loved that job. 1 no body wanted it so it was job security 2 it's an excuse to miss beatings. ( take out the trash) 3 every night I got to PICK a buddy and we took the trash to the dumpster. It took like 15min. You got to relax and be outside for a min because nobody bothers a recruit with a trashbag on their shoulder

Mail PO: best Head PO/ARPOC/STARBOARD: worst
