You better be prepared for penis inspection EVERYDAY
>>33919378
Boring and repetitive days, extremely smart and extremely stupid fellow soldiers, menial bullshit while in garrison, and a good heap of booze

wear a helmet before you get hit by the SHARP van

All this and crippling depression and watching the days go by on your EAS countdown. I started my EAS countdown at 961 days. It was terrible. Longest countdown of my life.
penis inspection day is always the worst
it mostly sucks but don't quit. You'll come out a stronger person and the GI Bill ain't too bad.

This. Sometimes if your locker and bedspace are immaculate they leave you alone, but most of the time they just look for an excuse to check your dick and anus. And when they find crusty jizz/poo, which they will, youll get run ragged to the sound of 'IF YOU CANT KEEP YOUR BUTTHOLE CLEAN, HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO ENGAGE AND DESTROY THE ENEMY!?!?' still ringing in your ears...
Also, you probably wanna do a few 'stretching' exercises...when those fuckers say knuckle deep, they mean knuckle deep

They put softpeter in your food so that when you're hard up for some you dont go chasing boipucci in the barracks.

And bromide in the tea
Also be aware that youll have to take conga-line showers where you and the other boys, only after a few days worth of soft peter meals, have to walk though the showers nut to butt bc they dont want you playing in the shower. Itll be called a quicker and more efficient way of getting all the privates clean but really its just gay stuff. Make sure youre bigger than your battle buddy.

Idiot butter bars and NCOs that are dumber than a bag of rocks. Expect lots of cleaning and working at the motor pool as well.
People younger than you ordering you around.
Don't fucking quit. I swear, don't quit and don't even be tempted into it. Get on every course you can, get every benefit, never go near drugs, identify the unit idiots and avoid.
Your shooting experience is irrelevant, they'll teach you to do it their way and that's that.

>What should I expect?
Hot food, no-shit high quality training that looks good on a resume, and cupcake/snowflake coworkers. OSUT may grind you down a little, but think only of the rewards after graduation. Being young and in the military is actually a really good life. Also 5.56 is just a really really really fast .22. Good luck op.
t. enlisted Army at 26
p.s.
1) do everything you're told when you're told
2) take care of your feet
3) don't fuck up or you'll make it harder for yourself

Is that poster real? Because it should be.
>>33919378
Lots of cleaning, lots of PT, lots of boredom once you get out of boot.
Good luck.
General protip in the military: smile all the time and just say thank you after conversations and everyone will jump through their assholes to help you out later on.
