I know that you have to ready yourself physically, but I want to do more before I ship out. I want to learn some of the things that they teach you and make you remember in boot camp. I already know my general orders and my rank structure. What else can i learn so i don't stress out as bad in boot camp?
 
How to take orders with DI's in your face....especially those marines that are physically smaller than you.
Did they tell you that you have no privacy to use the bathroom?
Did they tell you that you need permission to use bathroom in the middle of the night?
Did they talk about cleaning?
Get ready!!!

My husband just got back and he said there is no way to prepare yourself for how insane it is over there. Have you seen the movie Full Metal Jacket? He said its VERY much like that movie (at parris island anyway) He said you hate it while you are there but in the end its all worth it. Just get a LOT of people to write you so you dont go crazy. And get in the delayed entry program, that helps a lot too.

im in the DEP too. Parris Island or San Diego? but anyways other than that you should study up on the Marine Rifle Creed, Marine's Hymn. Also you should study the Code of Conduct and study up on some Marine Corps history, and commit the characteristics of the M16A4 Rifle to memory
