Re:I decided to go, goodbye HMT for a while.
 
Tell your parents to email me your address when you can start recieving mail at boot camp. The letters you get there will mean alot, and I would like to send you some incouragement and stuff.
And when your in boot camp laying in bed at night thinking "what the ---- am I doing here" remember that its normal to have those thoughts. More importantly remember that many people have been in your shoes and survived, and you will too.
The number one thing they are trying to teach you at boot camp is to pay attention to details. They are going to give you a million small tasks to remember, and they expect you to take care of every single one of them with 110% detail.
WHEN YOU COMPLETE EVERY SINGLE TASK WITH PERFECTION, THEY WILL STILL YELL AT YOU AND TELL YOU YOU FUCKED UP. They do this so that next time you will do the same PERFECT job, and still try to find things to improve on. Don't set yourself up thinking that the TI (training instructor) is going to praise you. No matter how perfect you do it, they are still going to grill you. One of the things that hurts the worst is when you know you did something absolutely perfect, and you still get your ass chewed out. It makes you start to believe that you just can't seem to do things right. This is wrong, they are just trying to build up your sense of detail in everything you do.
If you would like to call me and chat about what to expect, please do. I wish when I went I had someone to ask questions, so it's important for me to be there if you feel the same. -Steve (909)702-7771

ditto what steve said!...most screwed up thing about it is when you start missing the people that you hate...snail mails help a lot and it's ok to get emotional and cry (make sure you do that inside your wall locker!)...it's gonna be hard...but its doable...just think others got it worse than you do(marines,army)my advise is to always expect for the worse and when it's all set and done, it's actually all easy. best of luck of you fellow boost freak. take some pics on how big the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel on the turbine engine will yah!

Good luck. This country needs people to defend it. Too bad you have to go through hell to get there.
