Re: New Infantry Recurit
Hello, and good luck. I know some Drills down at Benning...they are good folks. Listen to them. I dont know much about you, and I won't make any assumptions. Just remember...pay attention to what you are taught!
Again, good luck. |

Re: New Infantry Recurit
Holmes,
We are at war. Give your training 150% of your effort, and soak up the lessons taught to you. Be humble, work your ass off, and shut up. Most importantly, remember that the lessons, tactics, and skills that you learn (and how well you learn them) will likely someday save your own life or that of your buddy. Good luck. |

ATTENTION TO DETAIL... TEAMWORK IS KEY...
Just do what you're told, no questions. Stay below the radar and you'll save yourself some BS. Good luck. -JR |

good luck. Just remember, when you think you can't go any further, you can. You're tougher than you think.
Read Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield if you have any down time. If you get home sick, remember you're not the only one who ever got home sick. |

Good luck, and just know it's all mental, if you think that you can't do something suck it up and drive on because you can
