I’m leaving in a week for Navy Boot Camp and then A school for MA. How do I go about doing the Harbor Patrol Unit?

you need to take your second class swim test, but even then, it’s really randomized when you get orders in A-school.

You can’t choose your orders for harbor patrol but you can sure as hell hope to get them lmao. They are stationing a lot of MA’s in Bahrain and silver dale Washington wish you the best of luck

A school doesn't let you pick your orders it's all chance

Your orders out of a school are random

It’s all about luck, come to prp in kingsbay and you’ll probably drop into a hbu unit

When you test close to weapons week best test scores choose first for orders. They will tell you if there is hpu orders I was hpu for four years remember for your career best to know the whole rate don’t focus on one unit. Boats are cool and you get lots of quals but won’t help you for other commands if you go somewhere without boats. Best of luck and remember for boot camp just shut up and do your job lol

You won’t get a say for that, just graduated A school few weeks ago, they give you what they have, best I can tell you is take and pass your second class swim qual when you can but it won’t give you a better shot than anyone else

You just kinda have to hope and pray for it, A school doesn’t let people pick which orders they want anymore

When you go to A School you'll be sat down and pick your next set of orders. If HPU is available youll request those orders when you're asked

The comments below are spot on. Focus on boot and do your best at A school. When it comes to orders its really a toss up you might get it out of A school and but dont worry if you dont just focus on graduating ship mate.
