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

Unless you are already in peak physical condition, be ABSOLUTELY AVERAGE AT EVERYTHING! The less you stand out, the easier your time will be from a punishment standpoint. Everyone else will get you in enough trouble as it is.

If you ARE in peak physical condition, do everything to the best of your ability TO stand out. Being smart AND in the best shape in your platoon will get you excellent recognition, but by God don't make it about yourself.

Regardless, if someone needs help, you help your brothers out. Be a good man, and you will make it through just fine!

BTW, from a USAF SSgt., thanks for volunteering to serve! Trying times right now for military members, and you joining in the midst of all the cuts shows your individual quality.
