Hi! I'm signing my Indiana Army National Guard contract this week and swearing in. I know Basic Training is going to be very difficult physically, and I'm trying to prepare for it by pushing myself now to better fitness. For everyone who has already gone through what I'm facing in the next couple months, what advice do you have for me as I prepare for this life-changing 9 weeks? Thanks!

    Remember that it's only nine weeks... most of bootcamp is a mental test.
    The goal is to tear down all of your negative habits, and rebuild you as a better soldier.

    Check any pompousness at the door. Be humble, and make sure you remember at ALL times that it's not just you, it's a TEAM. Your team is your life.
