>>18416993sometimes you will get woken up in the middle of the night to do burpees and run around the area because the drill sergeant found a secret stash of food
Don't get frustrated, it will happen. Your stupid uneducated peers will do dumb shit and you will pay the price for it
Sometimes you guys will be doing good and the drill sergeant will think "hmmmm they haven't done anything stupid lately so I haven't had a reason to go ruin their sleep. Gonna go do that now real quick so they don't get soft on me"
See how that works, it's going to happen no matter what
If you are an infantryman, you will continue getting fucked with at your unit. If not, you will probably be home free after bct
Last but MOST IMPORTANT
Do not idolize your drill sergeants. When you see them wearing cool oakleys, wearing their patrol cap like a clown, drinking energy drinks, and throwing fat dips in, it's because they are degenerate losers. Don't let the stockholm syndrome kick in and convince you that's what cool people do.
When you get to your unit, do not buy a brand new pair of oakleys or start smoking cigarettes. If you need caffeine, drink coffee and tea, not energy drinks
Seriously, that was the ultimate test when I was in. The kids fresh out of basic who bought new expensive sunglasses and started abusing nicotine and alcohol were guaranteed fucked up losers. The people who just lived life how they liked it did pretty well for themselves whether they stayed in the army or left
