Besides what SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth and SSG (Join to see) stated:
1. Don’t accumulate debt.
2. Fund a Thrift savings account.
3. Hit all available correspondence courses.
4. Work on your civilian education. Remember, one day you’ll take the uniform off for good.
5. Get a mentor. You’ll be able to recognize your units superb performers after a few months.
6. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions.
7. Do not, under any circumstances, compromise your integrity!!!!!

There is what your were told, then what they meant to say, and a third thing what will actually get the job done. If you can do all 3 at once it's performing magic.

Oh, gag, the comic Terminal Lance is very heavy handed about the creatures that try to marry you. I didn't experience it, but I worked off base. https://terminallance.com
The most popular military comic strip in the world! You can't spell disgruntled without grunt.

Remember you have two ears and one mouth; listen twice as much as you talk. I wish someone had given me this advise when a PV2.

All respondents have given good advise. You are an Infantryman which you have to prove yourself to your peers and NCOs. Stay fit and get fitter. Learn from your Team Leader and your Squad Leader. Learn everything about your job especially how to read a map, call for fire and communications. Train to better scores on your PT Test. Master your weapons. You are not going to have much time to better your education but you can do online courses on your free time. If you joined the army to go to college, you picked the wrong MOS. Associate with outstanding Soldiers and stay away from dudes with bad attitudes. Just remember the Infantryman is the Soldiers that conducts direct warfare with the enemy. You are the man on the ground that clears building and covers the ground the enemy seeks to hold. If you decide to make the army a career go airborne, ranger, SF or even the Unit. Welcome to the Brotherhood of War, the Infantry.

-It’s easy to be negative about everything. Don’t get in with the group that always has a gripe or complaint. Always look for the positive side of things!!
-Right place, right time, right uniform. It’s too easy.
-Don’t get complacent.
-And more importantly, don’t base your opinion of the military on your first duty station!!!

Ask if you will be assigned a unit host, and don't marry a stripper even if her name is Kandy Kane.
You will go to an in process unit where you will take care of administrative and gear requirements.

1. Don't quit and keep your sense of humor.
2. Don't start by complaining or for that matter take the complaints of others to heart.
3. Do your job - there's a whole bunch you don't know about the military or the equipment.
4. Read the technical manuals, especially read the warnings and cautions.
5. If you don't have a sense of humor - ask supply.
