  When you think it sucks, remember you're not in prison.

  Didn’t go thru Army bootcamp, went thru Navy bootcamp. Best tip I can give anyone is do not think about how much time you have in or have left.. don’t look forward to next day or week, just look forward to your chow, when you get up and march to the galley for breakfast, just think about gettin to lunch after that. It’ll make things feel much quicker, if you sit there and count the hours and days you will feel like a day is an eternity.

  I hate barracks bullies.<br>We had a barracks bully.<br>The assistant DI knew and told us that if there was a fight, he would let it happen. But at the end we had to shake hands or he would call the MP&apos;s.<br><br>The bully finally crossed me. I was tall and on the fluffier side, compared to the rest of the platoon, my nice guy attitude and appearance made me appear soft. <br><br>The DI heard the commotion and came to investigate. He made the platoon move the bunks and had us square off right there. No hits to the face. We grappled for a minute before I was on top and jabbing my thumb into his ribs while he was pinned, left him bruises to remember. He tapped out. In the end he refused to shake hands until the DI reminded him of the MP&apos;s. He never bullied anyone again. We were both punished and had to clean the laundry room.

  carrying your weapon everywhere, how immature all the other trainees are, eating in the field (mres are fine, but the hot and ready stuff is terrible), needing a battle buddy, reception.

  The absolute WORST #1 thing at basic was the copious amounts of waiting. Waiting for chow, waiting for range time, waiting to get your gear, waiting to get on the bus, waiting to get to go to bed in &quot;hydration formation&quot; waiting to get ready and go on your morning ruck marches, PT, waiting on NCOs and the commander for inspections. The absolute worst thing for me personally.
