Well, that is partly true. Don't be a kiss ass, and don't be a dirt bag. Soak up all you can, stay fairly quiet, but speak up when you see something or someone that needs correcting.
While everyone else is fukkin off, be either cleaning your weapon, studying your handbook, or doing PT.
The Drills may fuk with you a bit for being high speed, but that is their job. Just say roger and drive on.
And remember, they can't smoke you forever, and it only hurts for a little while. You will only get stronger, smarter, and faster.
Drill sergeants are people just like us, and they were buck privates too.
You will see that everything is an act, like a play. You are supposed to fail at everything at first, that is how they break you down. Then you learn and succeed at stuff, that is how they 'build' you into a soldier.
I wish i could do it all over again!
Really appreciate all the tips! I got a call from an old friend of my moms she just got this big promotion and she works for ICE. Told me when I get back from basic to get a resume together and send it to her that she might be able to hook me up with a job in there. I went from nervous and anxious to super stoked now.
