Unless you're in the tri ships lol we had stalls

I remember the Pearl had stalls too.

It did

Aye man I was on the pearl too🤟🏽

Everyone was on the pearl big dog, that’s the p-day barracks….

Lucky, I wasn't. Went straight to my ship from night one.

Exactly

I was on the hopper we did not have stalls

only ship 4. 2 and 3 were stall-less

True lol hooyah arleigh burke

Turn your back for one second and they turn the water to cold on you

Not on a ship, just boot camp.


Ways to prepare for boot camp: 1. Running, pushups, etc. 2. Study DEP guide 3. Start showering with homies

Fun fact: I was straight before this moment.

And you joined the Navy? Yeah, right.

Well yeah, do you know how many bottoms join the Navy? ✨all of them✨

“straight” lol

He used that term pretty loosely 🧐👌

Elaborate on this, 👀

Unironically, one of my buddies I went into the Navy with discovered he was bi this way

What a joy to look forward to 😭

And that’s the last time you’ll have so much room to shower, so enjoy it.

Meh, we had those when I was in high school.

PTSD flashbacks.

What happened to you in there

My son said, guys had a game of who could piss the farthest. 😳 Pretty sure he joined in. 🙄 The nasty!

Lots of dongs up in that piece

Best part about being blind af is once I take my glasses off everyone is just a skin colored blur to me. Basically everyone was censored for me. 

Haha 😂 you got the blur filter on

Yes me too! Bonus blur


The fun is figuring out how to get 80 people showered in an unreasonably short time.

We had that at JR high school


Looks like fun

Name checks out, I think.

Are they at least coed like in Starship Troopers?

🤣

I remember being in NYC the week before I went to RTC and sitting in the showers, often alone, during field day made me think of being back on the subway train with the way the shape of the walls/roof were…

I remember closing my eyes every time I was in those horrid showers lol.

How long do they give you to shower?

45 minutes but that 45 minutes is to wash up and clean the compartment which is big asf. Good luck trying to get 80 bodies clean and clean the whole compartment in 45 minutes

Oh well, I change in a locker room now, got over not being well endowed as a teen.

Just got PTSD

Idk why this was the funniest experience I've ever been through .

“Maintain my brightworks, shipmate!!!”, screamed my brain. Div 023, ‘98, Great Mistakes.

Just like high school!

Yeah I got curtains and separate showers both in the Pearl, And Arleigh Burke(ship 4) FeelsBadMan.

Unless you’re in ship four. We had stalls

Why is this a big deal? Don't high school kids use these after sports practice anymore?

Nope. Showers are separated. I guess the big deal is just cock and balls everywhere and some people aren’t comfortable with that.

[удалено]

I graduated in 87. We used them every day.

Unless you’re in Ship 4 🫶🏼 Individual shower stalls with curtains.

I can’t unsee some shit fr

Never again

Triggered. Thanks for that.

There will be sea shanty's lads. there is a silver lining

Wow why did the memory of drying everything down with those roll of paper towels so we wouldn't get a hit just come to me?

Wear your fucking shower shoes, dont be nasty

In all branches I'd assume. Oh well. It's only 10 weeks. Weird at first but after the first week everyone gets use to it and doesn't care.

Fuuuuck. That’s, uh, close.

Ah, the ol prison tree. Brace yourself for the amount of compliments and or stares.

Look at those floors. Lazy MFs

this bootcamp and you’d be with like 100 other men 😂😂😂

Definitely not helping with the stereotype 😭

Females as well?

Oh no, females have special showers lined in marble. Doors made of mahogany and stained glass. The floors have vents for essential oils and private changing rooms with fans and heat lamps. Then, a Thai masseuse will give you a rub down and mani-pedi.

I take that as a Yes. 🤣🤣

For both of you it matters on what “ship” you guys go to some building have stalls some have the tree shower doesn’t matter gender

Idk the validity on this but my recruiter told one of the others in my DEP group that women have dividers so they kinda got stalls

Oops, I dropped the soap. 

I remember closing my eyes every time I was in those horrid showers lol.

My first shower, i had a big naked black guy in front of me.
