| pretty damn nervous!!! |
| Other than good luck, my only piece of advise is don't stick out. Meaning, don't be the guy who always f's up, just blend in, stay stealth and you'll be fine. The day I graduated boot, none of my instructors knew who I was and didn't believe I was there the whole time. Worked out wonderfully for me, unlike some of the other guys who had them camping out in their asses. |

The day I graduated boot, none of my instructors knew who I was and didn't believe I was there the whole time. Worked out wonderfully for me, unlike some of the other guys who had them camping out in their asses. Same thing happened to me. "Who the f––- are you? Are you in my platoon?" Didn't make it to quite the end though; I was OCS bound and was 'discovered' because of that. |
| Good luck.....its what you make of it...your gonna be asked to do some stupid shit, that makes no sense,....some of it has a purpose...some of it doesnt......suck it up and drive on...........dont be "That" guy.....(the guy that fucks up all the time and gets his team a smoking in the sawdust pit)..... |
Ill hoist a glass of whiskey in your honor tomorrow night when im out camping at Mt Ranier! No matter how bad it gets just remember that it WILL be over one day soon. Stick it out.....you will be glad you did many years down the road! Good luck! Now beat your face  |

Don't forget your suntan lotion and board shorts.
It's hard to get chicks on the weekend at the beach when you're sun burnt. I almost forgot, don't let them brainwash you. You are an individual and special and important, no matter what they tell you. Pay no attention to all the blustering, they're not gonna hurt you. |

Make sure you meet your PT requirements (don't fall out of runs) don't let the platoon down do your part.
Don't become one of the fuck ups. Coach those in need.. Pass your studies Keep your kit organized and clean Shower every chance you get be the first in.Stay clean , smell clean Get sleep when your able too,even if its just for a couple of minutes. Don't bitch moan or complain Resist the urge to get loaded on your earned leaves,don't drink period. PT when your drunk or hung over is brutal IF.your allowed to take/keep vitamins in your kit get a multi, and a B complex for daily supplement Ibuprofen is beneficial also Good Luck thanks for serving |
) but it worked for him.

Good Luck 
All you need to know is "Yes Sergeant" "No Sergeant" and "ComingMoving Sergeant"  Don't listen to this guy, refer to your DI's as "Sir" they feel they've earned that title and thus will treat you well when you recognize this, extra time alone in the showers in the morning with your loofa, higher quality shit tickets in the head just for you, turndown service on your bunk, trust me, life will be good. Goodluck and godspeed! |
