I am set to PCS from Fort Gordon (AIT) to Fort Bragg this Tuesday and my chain of command has been helpful with guiding me and helping understand how different the “Big Army” is than TRADOC and I would just like to see if there is anyone that has some helpful tips or things to avoid doing at my first Duty Station?

Pay attention to the rank on the chest and beret. Do not walk past an officer without rendering military customs and couresties: "All the Way, Sir/Ma'am" and while saluting when they are 3 to 5 paces away from you. Stand "at ease" when speaking to an NCO and under no circumstances if outdoors during Reveille or Retreat, or Taps do anything other than stand at the position of attention, face the music and render a salute unless you like getting scuffed up and screamed at.

Many soldiers are young adult who have never had to move to a new place before. What are some things we can do to make a good transition from training (AIT), to our first duty station? And what are things we should avoid doing? And what are things we should start planning for accordingly now, before we actually leave for our first duty station? And what can we expect when we do finally begin our duties in our units?
