checking in and shipping soon !
Well My name is Pete and I will be going to Ft. Benning, GA on july 26, with a start date of Aug 25, i have several questions, what on earth will i be doing for a month in reception? Also I am 33 in good shape, doing my running every day i can do my mile in 7:30 and pushup and situps are coming along good too. I guess I'm just wondering if any other peoplke are shipping at this date, and any other suggerstions will be great, i have been checking out the forums and posts and they are very informative.
Thanks for your time Pete |

Welcome, in reception you will get your uniforms, take care of yoru medical stuff (dental, Shots, Etc) and stand fire guard. That's about it, unless it has changed in the last 4 years.

Welcome to the forum, and best of luck to all of you attending basic.
In the mean time visit this site 'Prep for Basic" for some inside general information, including wk-oo reception. http://www.armystudyguide.com/conten...ng/index.shtml Lets see if this link can get tagged in the Army forum for future FNG's. |
