The Top Ten Things to Expect When Preparing for Boot Camp

I have had hundreds of people asking me for Rosetta stone software
advice. Most of the questions are the same. Those questions have been the inspiration to this article. This article ranks the top 10 things you should expect when departing for basic training. I have attempted to put this top ten list in order, with number 1 being the most important thing you need to expect when you enlist in the military. So, without further hesitation, below are the:Top 10 Things to Expect When Preparing for Boot Camp10. Expect to get sick It's inevitable. Just about everyone gets sick at basic training. Whether it's a head cold or a sore throat, you will most likely not be at your physical best in boot camp. Basic training is too crowded and too fast paced for your body to get enough rest. Your body will be stressed for a long period of time, thus causing your immune system to break down. I personally had such a bad sore throat at boot camp; I was unable to swallow sometimes when I woke up. Further aggravating the sore throat was the Drill Sergeants relentless obsession with having their recruits yell everything they say at the top of their lungs. To reduce your chances of getting sick, drink lots of water and always wash your hands before you eat. Often you will be eating in the field, so always carry a wet nap in your pocket.9. Expect homesickness Everyone at basic training is missing his or her loved ones. Keep reminding yourself basic training is only a couple months long. Bring a few wallet-sized pictures with you and a notebook. To ease the homesickness, write letters often and encourage letters in return.8. Expect the worse. Every year Company A gave a $500 bonus to each of their employees. Jerry never expected any bonus and Randy counted on that $500 bonus as a part of his salary. This year, Company A had an unprofitable year so they gave Rosetta Stone Indian Levev 1-3
their employees $250 each. Jerry was very excited and Randy was very upset. The point of this story is that Jerry expected the worse, which was no bonus, so he was happier in the end. Basic training is the same way. Maybe you will be awarded a 2-hour pass, so you can go see a movie. Don't count on using that pass until you're at the movies, chances are your Drill Sergeants will revoke that pass because of someone else's poor performance.7. Expect drama. The Drill Sergeants will make a big deal about everything. You need to be punctual, fast, efficient, etc. To add to that drama you will be surrounded by scores of stressed recruits. Some of these recruits won't deal with the stress well. Observe how your fellow recruits deal with stress, you don't want to push one of them over the edge by saying the wrong thing.6. Expect friendship and enemies. Upon graduating basic training, it will be scary how well you know your fellow recruits. Most of them you will like, but I guarantee you there will always be one or two you wish you never met. You will need to rely on your fellow recruits often in basic training, so be as polite and helpful as Rosetta Stone Greek Levev 1-3
you can.5. Expect long days and short nights.
