Good luck to you. The worst thing about basic, is the fear of the unknowing. All is easy, just requires determination and a will not quit attitude.

Even if you ship the same date the likely hood you will be in the same Platoon is fairly slim. If your not in the same Platoon and same MOS you probably will not see each other all that much. Just the nature of how they make sure they mix you up prior to starting training there. You'll see when you get there the ingenuity of it all and the measures they take to seperate pre-existing friends from being bunk mates in the same squad bay. At a point in the training the 11B's and 11C's go their seperate ways for a few weeks. 11B's get advanced tactical training which you if your an 11C will get later at your unit. 11C's get mortar training.

Listen closely and be observant, do what you are told to do, and never quit. Enjoy your new challenges and adventures.

I was there From June 12th to August 24th. I agree with everyone. Listen to your Drill Sergeants, observe everything and obey the commands of the Drill sergeants and company/battalion staff.
