I'm enlisting tomorrow. IDK when I'll ship, but I wanted to hear the OT's advice on basic.

It only sucks while you're doing it.
You'll look back on everything and realize it wasn't that bad.

Be in shape. Get a copy of your General Orders, and anything else you're supposed to memorize, and start memorizing them. It'll give you a head start.
If you attract attention, make sure it's for something you've done well, not for screwing up.

1. Thank you for your service.
2. Insure to the best of your ability that your recruiter fills out all of your paperwork properly.
3. Pay attention and come home alive.

After seeing your post on the weightlifting thread, you need to start running and doing calisthenics. You won't be hitting the weights in Basic, and too much muscle mass will be a hindrance. Sucks, but it is what it is. Train for what you're going to be expected to do.

Have clean socks. And don't do anything stupid like going and getting yourself killed.

Lieutenant Dan, is that you?

Join the Air Force. And don't drop the soap.

Don't be first.
Don't be last.
Don't do anything to draw attention to yourself.
Start doing pushups and running right away (if you haven't already started). I would at least try to have the endurance to knock out 50 pushups without much thought and run 3 miles in around 20 to 21 minutes (23 would be the absolute minimum) before arriving - if you can do that, you'll be ahead of the game the whole time.

1. Thank you for your service. Welcome to the brotherhood!
2. Remember, its all a game. Millions of men have done it before you, its not personal.
3. Be quiet, don't make yourself a target.
4. Dont be the guy that bitches about everything, you're joing the Army!
5. Pay attention in your Basic Training classes (Navigation, Weapons, First Aide), it may seem boring, but that shite could save your life one day!

Realize that you didn't join the Marines so it can't be that hard

Don't let anyone beat you in anything! You need to get into the mindset now that the only way you are going to get to do what you want and make it to the top is by being the best at whatever your doing.
