Stress cards LOL what a bunch of pussies.
Do you still believe these things still exist? That was like a few cycles in a few BCT battalions then gotten rid of years ago.
OP, nobody here can tell you what to really expect, BCT has been completely overhauled and Sill was one of the last to switch over beginning with training cycles since August. I was cadre with a cycle last May at one of the BCT batteries at Sill, your son's biggest concern is lower limb injury, far and away the biggest thing keeping even good trainees from graduating.

I’ll repeat words of wisdom from my Drill Sgt when I was there..... if you get an off post pass, don’t stick your dick in any of the locals.

I went to Ft. Knox in Aug. 1980. I didn't find it that bad. Had a great, tough but fair (and smart - Stanford degree) DI; thanks, Sgt. Grider.
From a physical standpoint, high school football practice was way harder. I enjoyed it and learned alot. Combat Medic (back then Field Medic, I think) AIT in San Antonio was a breeze in comparison.

Tell him thanks for his future service.

Those were killer, but we only had one guy (the big mouth karate expert from Cali.) get driven slowly up in the ambulance, so we all got a good look at the dude who pussed out.

Is Ft Sill coed? Shouldn't be too bad, if so, other than the weather.

Maybe we just like making fun of the things

Also, real advice for the future Private
And this is the top advice that anyone can give you. Do your damnest to make sure the DIs don't know your name without looking at your name tag. Good or bad. If you do well in basic , you don't want to look like a show off or the other guys will hate, but of course if you are a shite bird who the DIs are constantly yelling at so they know your name like they know their own, you are going to have an unpleasant 9 weeks.

On the dirt road we rucked on deer would join the column and walk with us.
We were doing our final ruck at Benning and a deer came crashing out of the wood line at full speed and absolutely trucked a private and knocked him halfway across the road. The drill sergeant was ahead of him and didn't see it but he turned around and saw the private laying in the road and lit him up. "WHAT THE frick ARE YOU DOING? TAKING A NAP? GET YOUR arse UP!" and what-not. The private didn't even defend himself. Just stood up and got back into the column. Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

An off post pass wasn't even in our wildest dreams back in my basic days. In week 7 our XO brought some beer and pizza to the rec room one night, was like manna from heaven, two slices of pizza and one beer apiece never tasted so good.

Ears open...mouth shut...never walk always run
I'd rather be at Ft Sill in winter, instead of 100 and 75% humidity

Definitely write this on a care package to him
Posted on 11/6/18 at 1:57 pm to lowhound
Damn. And the worst part is that the private didn't get anything out of that care package until he graduated.

This is gold
My dad sent me a box kind of like this. It had copenhagen and noodie mags... I ended up getting destroyed and pops thought it was hilarious... so he sent another box two weeks later.

Fort Lost in the Woods, MO and Fort Silly, OK are where most of your non combat MOS soldiers go.
Still have combat engineers & SAPPER school at Leonard Wood. It was hot as balls and cold as a well digger's arse in the course of a few months. I stayed there 8 1/2 months between basic & AIT in '99. Running those hills with black ice is real fun, but so is FTX in August.

Drill Sargent Edwards told us day 1, care packages are taxed at 100 pushups per pound and all goodies are split ammong the entire platoon. So before I can tell her no my mom sends me 3 lbs of chocolate chip cookies. I got like 4 cookies, cost me 300 pushups. When I talk to her , I tell he, so she sends me another package , Sarge lifts it and says "feels like about 6 lbs Private, your momma mad at you" Open it up and its the same ammount of cookies and two bricks. Not two bricks of cocaine, two actual fricking bricks.
She did that shite like 4 or 5 times through basic. Edwards and my parents had a pretty laugh at that at graduation.

Nice guys. Ours just ate a few in front of us and threw the rest away.
On our last day they did share the box full of naked Polaroids (this was back in those days) that wives and girlfriends had sent over the years so they weren't all bad.
