Simple Way to Prepare for Coast Guard Boot Camp

[michaelnicoletta]

I got my first letter back today and noticed this right away. He never slashed zeros before and every single zero was slashed

PREACH! I made the mistake of forgetting to do that, my CC taped a piece of graph paper on the Quarter deck of the 3rd deck and one on the quarter deck of 1st deck in James Hall. Had to run up and downstairs and on every graph box, write a slashed zero until both sheets were full. Took me 2 hours and 19 years later, I still slash my zeros.

You’ll never forget it either. 8 years later and I still do it every time, at work or not

[tylerevans]

Yup lol. Especially in the yeoman book 🫠

What does slashing zeros signify in the coast guard or military in general?

[kylebalcon]

I was a yeoman and a watch coordinator I get visibly angry at a unslashed 0

A little translation for those not Uscg will be helpul

Do you mean when writing 0 or like getting your stats up so there's no 0's?
