Advice: Mentally prepare to have absolutely no privacy for the next 2 months. You will sleep, shower, eat, and train with 90+ other people, and it's constant. Just listen. That's the biggest thing you can do to help yourself. Your RDCs will give you *literally* everything you need to be successful. Remember that no matter how much they yell and get on your or your division that they are doing it to help you. They want you to do well because it looks better on them.

I can guarantee that the thing your division will get yelled at all throughout boot camp for is talking, there isn't much you can do about that. Short of that, just try to do everything right the first time. Follow instructions. Pay attention to the little details.

Also, SLEEP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Especially right before you leave. Sleep at the hotel at MEPS. Sleep on the airplane to Chicago. Take every opportunity you can to get sleep, because you will wish you did later, I promise you. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask
