  1. Your graduation from boot camp will depend on your determination to graduate!  Most likely you'll be going to Parris Island, SC and it's gonna be HOT on that grinder!  Keep in mind that basic doesn't last forever, that many thousands have made it through before you, and that EVERY ONE of them has been through the same abuse, sweat, and effort being asked of you!

    Go there with your attitude settled before you get there that you WILL get through basic, and you'll do fine.  You will be a changed person when you leave basic, and likely will have made friends you'll have for life.

    Good Luck, Semper Fi!


  2. Between 85 and 90% of recruits that start boot camp go on to graduate.  Those that fail usually break down physically or mentally.  Those that fail marksmanship or swimming etc are recycled and given a chance to releant what they failed. The cadre in boot camp are judged in part by how many recruits make it through the training - so, while they may yell and scream at you, they DO want you to succeed.

  3. trust me it has it's ups and downs but really the only thing you have to think about is one of the finals which is a 52-54 hour test so just keep trying I'm going to need my own luck to be a navy seal so i have faith in you.
