If you haven't been preparing, two days isn't quite enough....my husband went to boot camp for the Air Force and he practiced his running a lot before he went. The Navy probably has different requirements, so check out this site to give you a heads up on what to excpect:

Good luck and thank you for your service.

The hardest thing for me in boot camp was all the running and sleep deprivation. If you are a good runner now, I would suggest studying your general orders, phonetic alphabet, and military time because you have to memorize those things in boot camp anyway. You will have a much easier time than others if you already know them. If you have a recruiter that is willing to help you, I would also ask him to show you the basic marching maneuvers (if you don't already know them) because that is something you will learn right away and will do for hours almost every day. Other than that, if you think you can pass all of the physical fitness tests, everything else you will learn as you go. Good luck, boot camp was pretty hard for me so I will be hoping it goes well for you!

You should have memorized your general orders, but it's way too late for that now. You're going to get mashed every time you can't remember them.
1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert, and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guard house than my own.
5. To quit my post only when properly relieved.
6. To receive, obey and pass on to the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the Commanding Officer, Command Duty Officer, Officer of the Deck, and Officers and Petty Officers of the Watch only.
7. To talk to no one except in the line of duty.
8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
9. To call the Officer of the Deck in any case not covered by instructions.
10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11. To be especially watchful at night, and, during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.

well it depends on how active you are naturally,i was always running and working out so it was a breeze. you have like 12 mins to run 1.5 miles and you have to do like 30 push-ups and 20 sit-ups its really not that bad and when you get to your sub it will get easier cuz you wont have much time to work out so they will go easy on you,im on a carrier so i get to tun in a hangar bay,fun!

Smoke a joint and realize that for the next four years you'll be brainwashed by the most sophisticated killing machine this world has ever seen. May the peace be with you...
