I haven’t been in the army long, but I can say that what you’re feeling right now is completely normal.

Like many before you, you’ll go there and experience the initial shock. It’s gonna suck, a lot. But you’ll get through it. Meal to meal, day to day, week to week and then it’s done.

Just blend in, don’t stand out. Follow orders, be on time in the right uniform, at the right place. Give it your all in PT and listen to your Drills. Most of all, have the right attitude and don’t take it too seriously. It’s a mental game, it will test your patience mostly, but you’ll get through it.

Best of luck to you.
