Best advice for basic training?

Get in great shape, and don't let the DS get the best of you.

Don't try to go above and beyond... that is the first advice (no sucking up, don't volunteer for everything...). Keep your head low, and keep pushing forward. Give your all, don't complain, and remember that the entire point of the training is to break you down in order to build you back up. As others have said, focus on following... the best leaders are followers first.

Buy wverything on the to biy list no matter how dumb it might sound. Mark your bags with your nametapes. And learn how to do a 90degree bed corner. As far from that just get in good shape and you should be fine

Try to focus on the 'team'. Being successful in the military takes a team mentality. So HELP your battle buddies.

Be at the right place at the right time in the right uniform with the right gear/equipment ready to train with open ears and eyes and a shut mouth.

If you do those two things, you will do great! Good luck.

Just remember to not dishonor your name, the military, or your country. The rest will take care of itself. Thank you for answering the call.

If you have to talk to the drill sergeant respond in one of two ways: yes drill sergeant or no drill sergeant

DISCIPLINED Service Members are needed. This is going down hill fast.

Keep your mouth shut and do as you are told.

Don't forget to stay out of the "kill zone." You'll figure this out once you get there.

Never volunteer for anything, do as you're told, stand still in formation, fly below the radar, and exceed the DI's expectations.
