I leave for boot in a few days, and ive been contemplating if i should go for RPOC or not. My recruiter who is a chief says i should because its a leadership role that will help me get noticed, it will also look good toward me being special forces because it shows leadership ability. BUT on the other hand, friends in the navy and people i meet tell me not to take any staff positions and just keep my mouth shut and disappear. I know what a RPOC does and whats required of him...im just trying to figure out if its worth it...

Same situation here (except Submarines). The bottom line is that once you get to your first duty station, boot camp means nothing (hell, once you get to A School it means nothing). Doing what it takes to receive strong Evaluations and doing well on Advancement Tests are what you'll need to worry about.

RPOC will get you noticed.... but in my opinion, that makes boot camp more stressful than it needs to be.

---- On a side note, boot camp is a breeze. It's 90% mental and 10% physical.
