it wasnt bad. You probably wont like it while you are there but once its all done with you will look back with good memories. You also wont think you are really learning much or adapting to the army life, but again when you look back you will see. Just do what you are supposed to do and keep your attitude in check. OH yeah, GO AIRBORNE!

It will be what you make of it. If you shut up and do what you are told than it will be easy. If you don't listen and speak out of turn than it will suck. It really is as simple as that.

Who said they are perfectly good? We all know who works on them . . . I'm Army Aviation and I can tell you that those birds aren't perfectly good either! lol
Edit: Jumping is a lot of fun. I had a few people go through with me that were afraid of heights, but when you are up in the plane and its time to go you don't think about it. Its like cattle being led to slaughter, you just move with the group. When you get to your AIT you can request to go Airborne if you wanted to. Maybe even while in basic, I'm not sure

they told you to memorise General Orders at recruiters office , the rest is just basic questions that they have to do...
but really in BCT they will give you something thats called "Smart Book" nd you have to carry it with you everywhere. You will have to learn The Soldiers Creed, Army Values, Army song and chain of command thats something that you will be asked for on daily basis during red phase.. ( Assumin that you already know General Orders )
P.S. I went Ft. Leonard Wood.

i was in d.c. for the inaug. and while up there took an overnight trip to nyc.
my eyes (i'm in the yellow) were closed in this pic, but it's about the staute. the other chic in the pic is air force
i don't know what the slabs are called, but i believe they list every service member who died in WWII, or it's that they served in WWII. lady liberty can be seen in the background.
