Boot Camp
One time, at boot camp, when I was doing push-ups, I thought of my friends and family. Certainly, they were doing something better. And as I was doing these push-ups, I realized that I missed my mom... doing my laundry. I also miss her cooking, her ironing, and her cleaning up after me. And for those of you who like to speak in symbols, here's the phoenetic alphabet: Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot

Recruit Training Command: 12.20.2000 to 03.01.2001
- March 1, 2001: FN Wang leaves RTC and arrives to his new command...NNPTC.
- February 23, 2001: Fireman Wang graduates with the Honor division, 096 along with the CNO flag. How you like that? Liberty commences until the 25 and he buys a lot of food and makes a lot of calls. Also, he goes with a couple of shipmates to visit Chicago, where they eat at an Italian restaurant, visit an aquarium, and check out Michael Jordan's front gate. And get this... his cross-streets are named Point Ln and Center Ct. Cool, huh?
- February 19-20, 2001: SR Wang goes through "Battlestations!" with Division 096, hoorah!
- February 12, 2001: SR Wang gets to make his second phone call!
- February 1, 2001: First day of Service Week. SR Wang gets stuck with Deep Sink. However, his bud SR Leszczynski hooks him up with Head Watch for five of the seven days. However, smelling feces twelve hours a day stunk as well. As you can probably tell, it was a lose-lose situation.
- January 17, 2001: SR Wang gets to make his first phone call!
- January 1, 2001: A new year... and another day William Wang misses home.
- December 24, 2000: Seaman Recruit Wang (although he gets paid E-3 because he's a "Nuke") sheds a tear or two thinking about his friends and family while he is in bed with the rest of his division awaiting Christmas morning.
- December 21, 2000: William Bao Wang leaves for RTC of the United States Navy.
- December 20, 2000: William gets to stay at the 4-Star Sheraton an extra night because of the heavy snow at Great Lakes, Illinois.
- December 19, 2000: William leaves his goodbyes and gets picked up by his recruiter.
