I’m a poolees who has been in the DEP since August and I leave for boot camp on 4 days. Any last minute advice from Marines to help through?

Yeah Asher. Keep your head up and push forward no matter how hard it seems. What they do is push you so you can see just how far you can go. Always try to be first and in front. Dont let little things distract you and be ready, no other boot camp puts you through what Marine Boot camp does, no offense to my Army, Navy or Air Force brothers and sisters.

One last point when you graduate, and you will graduate, always remember you get out what you put in. If you go in with a crappy attitude your times gonna suck if your positive and mature and you do jot listen to the shit birds you’ll have a good time of it. Goid luck Pre Devil Dog. Semper Fi!

Keep your mouth shut, your eyes locked to the front, do EVERYTHING as fast and safely as you can. And NEVER, EVER give up. You aren’t doing anything hundreds of thousands haven’t successfully done before you. Graduation day will be worth it for the rest of your life.
Best of luck.

Don't pack like you're going on vacation, just go with the clothes on your back (it gets stored in a paper bag for 3 months anyways) and addresses for writing letters.
