The links above will help a lot but im going to give my own tip.
First few weeks aren't fun. You'll look back after you graduate and be like wow that wasn't bad at all! But its just weird. You are in a 100% new place and situation doing things you've never done with people you never met. With little sleep and people yelling at you for stupid stuff.

But its just a job. The Rdcs get paid to make you a sailor and you are getting paid as well. Yelling at you doesn't really have a purpose unless you really mess up. Its just to give you tough skin. Punishing ya'll with work outs is helping you pass your PFA but they aren't going to be like "Okay well lets do some practice crunches". lol. Its really something you need to see past and as long as you don't take everything hard you wont have a problem at all. And if you do, well its only 8 weeks.

They are preparing you to be a Sailor in the WORLDS FINEST NAVY. You'll be fine. Just look forward, never back! Hooyah

YES. I know this is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done, just because everything is so new and so far away from the people who I am used to having near me. However, every sailor has had to go through this and they've all made it. They weren't that different from us when they first started out.
