I'm hoping to leave in about a month for Army BCT. I have memorized the stuff all the articles say to. I'm working out like crazy. Doing rucks, running, push ups. All the old stand bys. But I'd like to heard, especially from recent grads, what do you wish you had done before, memorized, ect. that may have made a difference in your training!

I wished I had learned to go without sleep before getting there.

What Major Chu said is fantastic advice. Personal and financial issues need to be handled before you leave. They will add massive stress that you don’t need to deal with during BCT.

Any bit of physical training that you can do prior to going is going to help you in the long run.

Aside from that, the cadre will teach you anything and everything that you need to know. Just listen and learn.
