My husband wasn't your age when he went through boot, but he was older and much more mature than a lot of the guys in his division were. However, the positions are usually voluntary to begin with, after that (he said most of the first guys got fired), keep your head down, and do what you're told. Don't stand out - that's one of his biggest things of advice for boot camp. Make sure you don't stand out, and keep in mind that it's all one big mind f***. (those are the two things he tells me to tell anyone going through boot camp).
