Woking EQ and Possible Answers

1. What is the most important thing to learn and or do during Navy BMT?
2. I am not going to revise my EQ at this time.
3. The answer to my EQ is as follows. It turns out that I have to learn many Navy customs, rules, and ranks. This is to make my time at BMT less stressful and more productive. I should also become a proficient swimmer and have an above average physical semblance to make the Physical Training Tests easier, and I'll have more time to focus on the mental aspect of BMT.

Introduction

Guide:

Good morning (or good afternoon), my name is Jaime Plascencia and today we'll be learning about what is needed to excel in Navy BMT. To help gain an understanding of what must be done to do well in BMT, we'll be going over what a recruit is expected to know as far as Navy customs and physical requirements go.

understanding)


Guide
● After hearing my objectives for this presentation, how many of you know anything of what is expected of a Navy Recruit, or anybody who is interested in joining the Navy?
● I will make sure everybody understands by making sure that any stereotype that anybody has about the Military is removed, or at the very least, make sure everybody's mind is open to what joining the military is really like.

Time:
3 minutes

Important Source: Recruit Training encyclopedia entry and Surviving Military Training research article.

Guide:
Literal: I've learned that there are many jobs in the Navy, other than combat related roles that can be obtained if you research well before visiting your  recruiter. There are many customs and ranks that need to be recognized that will help you from having your Division Instructors give you a hard time. Being physically fit will also make PT in BMT fun, and not tedious and stressful.
Interpretive: My brother-in-law was my most important source. Having been in the Navy for 4 years, coming out of SWCC training, being a pilot, and now in Intelligence, he has provided me with a trove of "insider" information. I know exactly on what to prepare for and how to do it thanks to him.
Applied: Everything I'm presenting on is a solid foundation for my EQ. It involves everything that on must know from the second you step in to your recruiters office, and up to the point of when you get out of the bus to arrive at the Great Lakes, Illinois to being BMT. All the educational and physical requirements will have been met.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1. For my independent component, I plan on continuing my mentorship my Navy Recruiter every Monday. We review topics that I need to know that will make my time easier in Navy Basic Military Training such as rank recognition, the Sailors Creed, and so forth. While at home, I will continue my physical training as soon as I can. It will consist of 2 mile runs every day, upper body, and abdominal workouts.
2. My plan will meet the 30 hour requirement because on top of the 1 hour meetings I'll have with my recruiter every Monday, my workouts will also be more than an hour long. This should already be sufficient. My DEP meetings which I have once a month that last 3 hours should also help.
3. My independent study component will help me answer my EQ. My EQ asks what it is that I need to learn and or do to help me succeed in BMT. Everything I am doing for my independent component is what every Navy recruit should do for BMT. I am doing everything I should be doing to prepare for BMT and to answer my EQ.
