You have signed up to join the U.S. Armed Forces to serve your country. But, before you report for active duty and basic training, there are a number of things you can do to make your Basic Training easier and a better experience.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">G</span>et in shape quick. Run, run and run some more (about 3-5 miles ought to do it each workout). Do about 50 sit ups and push ups plus the usual jumping jacks, leg lifts and etc. 20 pull ups might suffice and make sure you can traverse the monkey bars. The US physical fitness guidelines would be helpful.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">N</span>ext...start getting up early, around 5 A.M. and going to bed early (8 P.M. at the latest). When you start Basic Training you will probably get up even earlier.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">I</span>f you don't know by now, learn how to wash your clothes. There's not enough time to learn on the job.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">L</span>earn how to polish combat boots with a "spit" shine. If you are "Army" <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">airborne</span> boots are recommended because they are more durable, have a steel toe and can polish easily to an incredible shine.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">A</span>sk your special loved ones to write to you. This will help sustain you during the Basic Training phase.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">R</span>emember...it is the mission of Basic Training to tear you down and then build you up the way the service wants you to be. Once you get through the first phase of Basic... life WILL get better. When the Drill <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sergeant's</span> scream at you just smile inside for it is just a process that will make you stronger.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">W</span>hen you make friends, stand by them always. They will be all you have if you face war. Never complain, hold your head high because...you are now part of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:180%;">P</span>reparing before you report for duty will help you get a head start on service to this great country of ours. We wish you all the best and no matter what...the country is behind you 100%. </div><div align="justify">God bless you and God speed.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">_______________________________________________________</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">More Blogs</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://trafficexchangeplus.blogspot.com/">Traffic Exchange Plus</a></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://lawnsecret.blogspot.com/">Lawn Secret</a></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://turnkeybiz4u.blogspot.com/">Turn Key Biz 4 u </a></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://weightlosshomeremedy.blogspot.com/">Weight Loss Home Remedy</a></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://nascarpoet.blogspot.com/">Nascar Poet</a></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://dir.build-reciprocal-links.com/12/BUSINESS/9999/brl/1/link/exchange/index.html">mdm</a></span></div><div id="vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFMU1cIIKb_-e7LvnPEKsx-VUBNr1GP9oDg="><a href="http://www.youtube.com/browse">Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script src="http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFMU1cIIKb_-e7LvnPEKsx-VUBNr1GP9oDg=" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5781100006615513781-8023012233495339487?l=beforebasictraining.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>americanonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00655128821957236629noreply@blogger.com0
