What excites you most about basic training? Share with us in the comments below! If you have a loved one at RTC Great Lakes, be sure to join our RTC Great Lakes Facebook group by clicking here! That way they’ll know exactly what you’re talking about once you start exchanging letters while you’re in boot camp! In the meantime, learn the lingo and pass this list along to family members and friends. Once you get a copy of The Bluejacket’s Manualat boot camp, you’ll also find an updated dictionary with military terms to refresh your memory. You may not use these Navy terms every day aboard the ship, but you’ll want to know titles and ranks quite well. You’ll want to start practicing this lingo long before you head to the Recruit Training Command Center in the Great Lakes.

General quarters (GQ) - full readiness for battle This community that he built has so much love and kindness in it that we’re probably closer than a family.Below - beneath (“lay below” means to go downstairs, for example)īillet - location where a sailor is assignedīridge - room from which a ship is commandedĬJCS - Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of StaffsĬMDCM - command master chief petty officerĬO - commanding officer AKA “Captain” of the shipĬolors - the national ensign the ceremony to lower and raise the ensignĭEERS - Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System He always returns the favor by thanking us, telling us how we mean the world to him and how without us he would not be here. He still stayed humble, his feet were planted firmly on the ground and he grew up into this incredible person that shows love for every little compliment he gets, whether it be fanart or messages of any kind. He never lost hope and never gave up, even at a time when his subscriber count just wasn’t rising, but as the years went on he noticed that number grow and grow. This young boy was only being himself, kind and appreciative, while sharing his love for video games to the world. He started this little family that grew to love and appreciate, not only themselves, but every new person that came along. He started YouTube as a way to escape, he was just so lonely and wanted someplace to belong, well he did more than he thought he would. If you told this kid that one day he would be making millions of people happy just by playing videos games, I don’t think he ever would have believed it.
