Take care boot, and thanks for puttin' on a uniform

I can't wait for boot stories...wanna see if it's anything like what it was when I went through

I remember those days. Best advice I can give you is this: you will be so glad you did it but you will never want to go through it again.

I really envy you being able to experience that unbelievable feeling of accomplishment that you feel when you're done. Thanks for your service and good luck.

 

[ArmyGirl88]

Thanks guys! I'm starting to get nervous now lol.

11 more days before I leave!!

I've got TONS of addresses too so that I can write them when I get there! So if any of you would like to write me while i'm in training..for encouragement [ cause it'll be tough ] send me a PM please. That'd be awesome to recieve letters from you guys!! And i'll write back and tell you what all is going on and what it's like haha

God bless you for serving our country in this way I'll say a prayer for you that you're able to stay focused and get through boot camp without any problems. Let us know how you are when you get a chance.

Good Luck! My step-brother was in Fort Jackson before he left like 2 weeks ago. He said it was very tiring and long days. Then again he is in the Navy and works a lot with guns. But yeah Good Luck and don't carry too many C-bags!

Just some general info... In the Army is Basic Combat Training or BCT not Boot Camp. Also I wouldn't plan on having a ton of time to write anyone you will be plenty busy.

Basics was great fun (in a nefarious sort of way) an unforgettable experience that no one else will ever believe (unless you have been through it yourself), but never again please ).

Time to write? Mmmm. Well that's an ethereal mystery that doesn't exist - you wake up in the dark and you go to bed in the dark - unless you are preparing for inspection (then bed is not on the cards). One is dog-tired. Two memories...

Memory one: One guy was so tired, went to bed very early (22:00). The guys cranked his alarm clock forward to 4:00 (roll call at 4:15), waking him saying, "Hey it's time to get up - roll call) ... Bit of a cruel trick, but it worked because you sleep tired, wake tired.

Memory two: In my day was still the last of metal helmets (with plasitic inner). They were as heavy as sin. Seated in a hot afternoon sun in a droaning lecture on eg. Military hygiene in a Temporary Base. A guy sitting at the back nods off, and head with helmet being off-centre, goes all the way to ground - boots and legs to follow!

Stay positive all the time. Do your best - the other guys will work with you. You will be amazed at the "before and after" of what you can't do, but will be able to do.

Very intense and something you will never forget
