Navy DEP program | Storytime

[@obamacare9396]

Very inspiring! Planning on joining the navy after graduation, but the closest naval base is 193mi away

[@Blailock1659]

Go to meps not the base. In joining in a month or so to be in the DEP and I'll leave after graduation.

[@brianmiller8551]

I went to meps and signed my contract and did the oath, I’m currently in the DEP program now and was wondering if I can still back out?

[@DevoneGorum]

Yes, you can back out anytime unless you go back to Maps for the second time to be shipped out.

[@oliveapope1073]

Do you get to decide if you ship out the next day or go into the dep program?

[@DevoneGorum]

Olivea Pope it depends on your job. There are different ship out dates for different jobs. However the ship out date can change any moment so you gotta be ready to leave anyday.

Great video

[@mirnamarroquin4717]

How do you greet to the recruiters when you first come in the meeting?

[@DevoneGorum]

You have to salute you didn’t have to ask for permission from the highest ranking officer in the room once you have permission you may enter. The same thing when you leave but you also have to salute the flag

[@mirnamarroquin4717]

@@DevoneGorum okay, but i am asking how, like how do I say it?

[@DevoneGorum]

@@mirnamarroquin4717 stand at attention then salute then say ‘petty office, recruit marroquin requesting permission to come aboard’ wait until you hear “granted” then take a step in the. Salute the flag then you are done.

[@DevoneGorum]

@@mirnamarroquin4717 you do the same thing to exit but you say “permission to go ashore”
