Answer 3

I was told that before I go for Basic Training I should go with the mind set that I don't know anything, and that I'm not Army fit. The same probably applies, make sure your the best and be the "grey man/women" don't be loud and asking for attention, just keep your head down and get attention for the right reason.

Answer 4

I would be doing everything to be more physically fit than my peers.

More pull ups, more crunches, more push ups, increasing my endurance and cardio by running and doing sprints, getting used to climbing ropes.

During basic training (of any type), your body becomes broken down either physically or mentally.  The more you do ahead of time to build it, the longer it will last among your peers!

Additionally, it SETS YOU APART from your peers in a good way!

Answer 5
