In the Military Schools:
Boot Camp is made for you to succeed, not to fail. You'll never be asked to do something you can't handle. Here are 7 tips to getting the most out of boot camp:
- Run, run, run. The better shape you are in the easier boot camp will be. Be in shape before you get there.
- Check your attitude. Drill sergeants and instructors want you to learn because it may save your life some day. Fighting the game wastes energy.
- Look out for your buddy. Nothing impresses people more than quietly taking care of the person next to you. Remember boot camp is a team sport.
- Bring your game face. Get up for it. It can be the greatest time of your life. Don't show emotion; it's part of the game. Don't be a wimp.
- It's only temporary.Basic training doesn't last forever. There's a goal and a future. You'll have down time and do things that are really fun. Your military career won't be like boot camp.
- Don't be a loner. Make friends because you are in it together. Keep in touch with family and friends at home too. Don't let others in your unit be loners.
- Study early. Know the phonetic alphabet and other military knowledge before you go. For the Army, know the Initial Entry Training book and the Army general orders.
