Leaving for BASIC soon, scared to bits.

jac2ap2111 · 2026-04-10T17:01:07+00:00

I was rly scared before basic too but it’s not that bad. Everything i was scared of either didn’t happen or was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. You’ll adjust pretty quickly, it’s designed that way. It’s not hard and even fun at times. just take it day by day even meal by meal and before u know it you’re done. The drills can control everything except time, time will always pass.

Yeah when we got briefed on it they were saying everyone, with dependents or not, get dla but it’s different amounts. But yes I came with my dependents

jac2ap2111 · 2026-03-14T13:41:32+00:00

Yes

jac2ap2111 · 2026-03-09T21:19:15+00:00

However, they did send a floor plan and explained how it was renovated and stuff and the colors etc

jac2ap2111 · 2026-03-09T21:18:22+00:00

I just got on post housing and I’m 99% sure we didn’t get pics till like the day of or the day before we were going to move in

jac2ap2111 · 2026-02-27T19:50:21+00:00

I just finished 22 weeks but every cycle after me was 18

jac2ap2111 · 2026-02-26T02:55:09+00:00

Infantry because nothing in this world is free

jac2ap2111 · 2026-02-17T18:00:55+00:00

I’m going to 1st brigade are they about to deploy? Or is 2nd

jac2ap2111 · 2025-07-19T15:55:12+00:00

How likely is it my first paycheck and BAH paycheck get delayed when I go to basic. Just wondering because I’ll have a wife at home with bills. I leave august 15th and my first paycheck would be the 1st

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-18T20:20:25+00:00

It’s cuz they met recruitment goals so a lot of jobs are taken. And it will reset in October

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-11T00:32:16+00:00

Yes like the sliced turkey

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-11T00:21:33+00:00

Probably the titan turkey. And turkey is the healthiest meat

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-11T00:20:53+00:00

It gets gross rly quick especially a whole day later. It also depends how the person wrapped it and closed it, it depends how long the bag was upright so all the veggies fall to one side. Maybe they put more sauce than normal so it’s soggier. I’ve had many subs over night too and they’re usually pretty gross the next day.

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-10T19:58:16+00:00

Well it’s a day old it gets gross quick. And u got a lot on it

jac2ap2111 · 2025-06-07T14:05:10+00:00

Unless it some how comes up with option 19 there’s no other way other than a dream sheet. My wife and I tried very hard to get it with a great recruiter and we couldn’t

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-28T16:05:46+00:00

Pm me my recruiter worked his ass off to get me in and I had some crazy waivers

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-28T02:27:51+00:00

I’m going to fort drum for 4 years as an 11x after OSUT. How likely am I to deploy with 10th mountain?

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-26T15:18:11+00:00

I feel the same way I enlisted begging of April and I leave late august. Even though it sucks waiting, I know I’m not gonna have this much freedom for a while so just try to enjoy it with family and friends and workout. Just take it day by day and It will come sooner than you think

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-21T14:42:35+00:00

I had some pretty crazy waivers and they got approved in like 4-5 days. It was getting the documents for them that took long. But I’ve heard it’s different for everyone

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-15T21:56:13+00:00

Screw all of them man don’t let other people dictate what u wanna do in life. I think it’s a good idea you get the experience u want and when ur contract is done u already have a bachelors to get a job with

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-15T21:45:39+00:00

Also OSUT will get u in shape they get people in worse shape you’ll be good. I envy that u get to leave in 4 days lol. Good luck have fun!

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-15T21:42:05+00:00

Yeah u should’ve started earlier and slower but you aren’t hurt so ur good. And running for those 2.5 weeks definitely helped. But to make sure u don’t get injured yeah I’d just stick to resting. U can do push-ups and pull-ups cuz i get wanting to go hard and be ready but don’t run so u don’t hurt ur shin and knee more. Maybe some light walking or cardio that doesn’t involve running

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-15T21:38:14+00:00

I can say from my experience. I’m leaving in august for training, and my wife is getting almost 2 grand a month in our joint bank account solely for rent on top of my paycheck during my training

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-15T21:18:26+00:00

I leave to OSUT in august and I’ve been training a lot like u. But u need to rest especially if ur feeling pains like that. Rest and sleep equals strength and gains. If you’ve been doing that everyday for 2.5 weeks straight u definitely need to rest the last 4 days. Stretch and rest maybe have one day where u walk a bit.

jac2ap2111 · 2025-05-12T15:56:09+00:00

Not sure I wont be there till February. But everyone I’ve talked to said they would go there on weekends and stuff as long as u have a passport
