And so it begins, goodbye for now.
How to mAKE IT THROUGH ARMY BASIC TRAINING!!!!
It made me
thrilled and proud 
"It's an experience you will never forget and will always be proud about."
How I did it: It's hard to describe basic training. It is demanding both physically and mentally, but it is something that can be done as long as you stick with it. The weeks will pass quickly and you will look back with pride at what you accomplished. While you are there you will experience misery, fear, embarassment, but also pride, excitement, motivation, and accomplishment. It is not for everybody, but it is not impossible to do. Like I said if you just stay with it and push yourself (or let the drill sargent push you) you will make it.
Lessons & tips: Move fast and shut up.
Resources: running, push ups, and sit ups.

Well I ship in 24 days! I’m really excited and curious to see what it’s going to be like. My recruiter left for Virginia today so I wont be seeing him until I get back from all the training. He said I was all squared away though and that I better get honor grad in basic or he’ll stab me with a pen. He’s a cool guy. Anyhow I’m also concerned about my knee there’s still a dull pain in the back so I havent been running. Also last night I managed to tear my thigh muscle again trying to do the exact same exercise that tore it in the first place. I shouldn’t have done that but hopefully it will heal up sufficiently. I don’t want to wash out becuase of stupid little injuries. Wish me luck.

Today’s the end of my illustrious 4 year career at Starbucks. I will miss it to a degree. Anyhow 31 day countdown to basic.

Today I wrote my 2 week notice for my manager, I’ll turn it in tomorrow and will be one step closer to getting to basic. I’m starting to get nervous.

On July 1st, 2008 I will be shipping out to Basic Combat Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. I want to do more than just survive basic, I want to excel. I hope I can do this.
