- >>>Hi! I am thinking of joining the Army and I have a few questions. I would like
- >>>opinions on what to expect in Basic training. I would also like so suggestions
-
- Well, it's no summer camp and within 2 minutes you wil wonder that the
- heck you got yourself into and within 3 minutes you'll wish you were
- any where else but there. 2 pieces of of advice, keep your mouth shut
- and your ears open. More advice keep the lowest profile that you can
- while you are there. If you are in reasonable physical shape and like
- to run you got it made. Because you are going to be running a lot and
- doing hundreds of pushups. The drill sargents are not going to shoot you
- and they'll call you names you never even heard of. Most of boot camp
- is mental. They'll mess with your mind all the time. Best thing to do
- is always remember it is only a mental game. Hope this helps!

- PS. I hated boot camp, then again everyone does. 8-)
