I hope you're young enough to not care about the mind games. Good luck.

Was in the Navy for 6 years. Training camp was a breeze as long as you keep in mind that no matter how much they yell, degrade, punish you... it's all just an illusion. This is actually easier said than done. Keep in mind, this training was designed to break down adults who think they're grown enough to not fall for that shit. Did Special Warfare training on top of Boot Camp since I was going for Special Warfare Combat Crew at the time. Less sleep and more physical stress on top of the usual Boot Camp shenanigans. Also, remember that IT'S NOT TOO LATE to change your mind. They'll tell you all the BS they want to, but if at any time you ever change your mind, you can stop without any/very few consequences. Good luck to you friend...

Good Luck :). I don't know you, I don't know where you are from / who you will be serving for, but good for you for stepping up to serve (unless you were conscripted, but it doesn't sound like you were).

I know many of you won't even recognize my username, either due to the fact that I've only been here for 3 months or because I'm mostly a lurker rather than a poster (as evident by my total comments). I figure since this is the only forum I regularly get on, and sometimes even contribute to, I'd say bye for now to everyone. I'm going to be at Army basic training for the next 9 and a half weeks.
If anyone has ever served their country I'd like to know what training was like for you. I'll let you all know what my experience is like when I get back.
Edit: I just wanted to say thanks to everyone wishing me luck, I didn't expect to get as many positive responses as I did. You guys are all great!
