Going to EFMB in a couple of days. Any advice and tips?

Im doing it at Camp Buering

Look for a SGT Brandon Boutin 68W upon arrival. He will be an excellent resource for you. General advice: Get as much sleep as you can, stretch, and plenty of snacks to fuel the brain. Take each lane individually and stay focused on the task at hand. Don't worry about tomorrow until tomorrow. Attention to detail is key. Stay relaxed. Standards week is the time to ask questions, write down the answers (and the name of who said it).

At the end of the day, remember this. All you have to do is met the standards. Remain calm, quiet confidence goes a long way. My final advice is below, and it has served me well. Good luck, and remember that history favors the prepared mind.


“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”


― Theodore Roosevelt

Thank you sir! its my first time going so I'm very anxious. but I will use this advice to succeed.
