 Stay Concentrated
Keep in mind that in the boot camp it is not all about physical. In fact it is 10% physical and 90% mental. Resist to the temptation to quit. There are no alternatives apart from holding on. Take it to the restrictions. There are things throughout boot camp training that you want to do and things that you have to do. Be regimented and pay attention of what you have to do first. Well yes, it sounds hard but that is boot camp training.
Bear in Mind Who Establishes The Rules
In your case as a newcomer, your drill instructor establishes the rules. Do not even try to dispute with your instructor, because even if you are right you cannot and will not succeed. In spite of what you have heard from others about boot camp training, never think you know anything about it. Boot camp training is somewhat dissimilar to each person and despite of what you think you know, you don't.
All For One And One For All
The drill instructor will do his/her best to make all newcomers think and act as a team. You should leave your ego outside the boot camp. Sometimes you will have to forgo your egoism in order to assist the team achieve a task or a mission. And that's what the army is all about. Here you will understand that the "WE" is more important than the "I". If you see some of your followers struggling, inspire them and bear them up. If you lend a hand them they will almost certainly do the same for you when the time comes.
Do Not Volunteer
You have to be cautious when volunteering for definite tasks. You may be recompensed but you will discover yourself accountable not only for your presentation but for the presentation of others next to you. Training is very hard and some times you may think that volunteering for a task might help you. It could help; but it could smash up your ego and dishearten you as well. Be watchful what you wish for.
Purpose
There is a purpose for everything happening throughout boot camp training. Even if a mission seems wholly dull or of no use be positive that this is not the case. Don't get puzzled. Do not attempt to get answers for everything that happens there. You have to have a high rank to be acquainted with the purpose for the things that happen during your training. Don’t forget to remain focused all the time. You are not there to answer questions but to go by the boot camp training.
