I'm leaving for bootcamp on Feb. 12, and have District 13 as my District when I get out. Any information or advice would be great.

Peruse all the links at the site above to get an idea of D13's offerings.

Well dog, you seem to be very procative with your profile. Already an active duty E3. Hopefully you'll work that fast during basic. And just where are you coming/joining from?

Cutterman-

Maybe once he arrives at the Cape you could wander on over and introduce yourself, eh?

ha ha... I'll fix that might wanna wait till after bootcamp Think the excitement has gotten to me!! I'm really looking forward to experience!!

Waterdog81, You may as well understand this now. The CG although all over the world is very small. By the time you get to Cape May you will be known.

Haha....better to be known than a fly on the wall that's gets discovered! I made it four weeks without being noticed....then one day I got stopped in the galley. My CC looked right at me and said "Who are you?" HAHA...trust me, they didn't have any trouble remembering me after that!

When I went through, before short-stop, they knew I was prior service but didn't know my name. I was just, "Hey you!"

And dog the answer is?

Coming from Texas.. Long ways from Cape May. Quick question about bootcamp I know we take a bus ride over there, but how long is that ride over to cape may?

Dog, you'll fly into Philadelphia Airport and then go to the USO there. The buses start running around dinner time and it's about a 2 hour ride, give or take a little for traffic.

Thanks appreciate the info sir

And it's the longest 2 hours of your life! haha

Actually it's the way the bus ride ends that's the longest few minutes of your life.
