[USMC Chuter]

Expect to be bored a lot, whether deployed or at your home base. Expect to get fucked with a lot by anyone who outranks you or has been there longer-especially at first. Get used to PT, shit details that having nothing to do with infantry work, and a general lack of privacy.

As for the training, it will be long and repetative. You'll do the same things until you're sick of it, then some, but that's how you get good at the basics. You'll hump long distances with heavy packs. You'll be cold sometimes, hot others, and tired usually. Teamwork is everything. Suffering has a weird way of fostering comeraderie, and once you prove yourself in the grunts you'll find yourself a part of a tight knit group. If you don't prove yourself...Well, just make sure you do.
