Any advice, stories, or other tidbits of knowledge you guys would like to offer up would be greatly appreciated.  And I mean that!  Not just BCT advice either, but after that!

I secured a copy of an Army FM pertaining to land nav.  Been going over that the last few days, and father in law (USAF ret) has offered to mentor me this weekend on it so I can at least have a solid academic undestanding of what it is/how to use it.  Hopefully that will help a bit with the practical side.

Shut up Darryl. 
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

09S = contracted to head to OCS after Basic.  Since I've got some college under my belt, and I'm old (34), I thought this would be better for me. 
Mouth shut, ears open, same with my mind.

be able to do 40 pushups without getting too tired. Also some 3 mile runs. Do them so that you don't get too tired. Maybe start doing pull ups as well. All this will make life much easier. While in Basic try not to do anything too good or too bad. just sort of blend in. if they aren't all over your case right away as an OCS candidate you might get by for a couple of weeks relatively un noticed. Save the getting Noticed stuff for for OCS.

Be prepared to be treated like a teenager. You will have to get permission to do pretty much everything so keep that in mind. The first few weeks are the worst. After the 8 or 12 weeks or whatever your program requires these days, the twilight zone ends, and life will return to somewhat normal. You only have to do boot camp once. Keep remembering that.

Doing boot camp at 18 is most likely easier that at 34.

Good Luck Theo.
