Basic is very simple. It is structured and very easy to fall into a routine. Once you get past the shock of being around so many new people and being told what to do, you realize basic is not that hard. You have to be in the right place, the right time, and in the right uniform. It isn’t a hard concept. And you get told what to do, so you don’t really have to use a ton of brain power. The hardest part for most people is getting over being yelled at and ordered around. Honestly, that really isn’t an issue at all and it makes things very easy if you just listen and follow. If you have the right mindset, you will cruise right through basic.

Your leadership can make or break your time in the military. A lot can be learned from good leaders, as well as poor leaders. In your eyes, what is the ideal leader? Someone that you would follow into battle.
