My 'boot camp' commenced Jan 1st 74. 12 months later I was shipped across the continent. 12 months as a 15 to 16 old taught me a lot. There being several hundred of the like age to me progressing through the training establishment at various intervals at the time. 12 months of spit polish. Learnt to dodge bullying and shut the F up.
Can't complain though. Saw my fair share of the world as a young bloke. Did the full 9 years then gave the navy the flick.
Looking back the 12 months of boot camp and my sea time was the most memorable. Wasn't fond of shore establishments.
Anyway. The OP brought back memories.
Cheers,
