I volunteered to do CLS & was just curious as to other people's experience with the course.
This is will my first time doing something Army-related since I graduated from AIT. I'm hella excited and want to do great. How should I prepare?

It’s going to be crawl, walk, run. Your instructor will teach you as if you know nothing at all, because you probably don’t. Do not stress over the course. Pay close attention, take the training serious and most importantly, enjoy it!
