Never jump from heights into very calm water, specially if you don't know how to break it properly with your feet (you really need to enter like a needle)

in navy boot camp they told us to cross our legs, cross our arms (hands on shoulders), tuck your chin and go in feet first.

That's not a bad position at all. The most important thing is to break the water with your feet and make yourself as narrow and uniform as possible so no part of you sticks out and receives a heavy impact.

The "tuck your chin" is probably because a whole lot of dumbasses tend to look up, which would cause them to break a bit of the water with the back of their heads (probably not a very heavy impact but it's avoidable). If you can keep your head in a neutral position (looking flat ahead), that should also be no problem.
