I'll be the the first to ask about bootcamp! What would you say is the hardest part in general?

How many letters did you get to send out? And were you able to send them to multiple people at the same time?

Make friends with the mail PO. They will go and pick up mail everyday, and can help get letters out other days of the week. We used to sneak letters into his backpack after dinner and he would drop them off to be sent out when he picked up the mail.

The hardest part is honestly staying awake and letting things roll off your back. You have to remember...they are trying to teach you military bearing and resiliency. just keep that in mind and take it one day at a time and its cake.

What were some of the billets available for YN once you graduated A school? Can you pick the state of your 1st duty station or is it just the region?(west coast, east coast, etc)

During P-days, what would you say was the hardest part (all the hectic moving around, people getting yelled at, etc.)? Besides staying awake obviously?

Just be prepared for feeling like crap. You're going to get your shots and you're going to feel absolutely terrible. Don't let it get to your head, you're going to learn to live "one day at a time." No one truly understands what that means until you get there, just focus on making it to your rack that night and all of a sudden it's time to graduate. I didn't find boot camp challenging at all but don't be that guy that makes a calendar in his trainee guide and checks it constantly. When you start thinking about I have X amount of days left it is really going to drag - PARTICULARLY in p-days. Don't count the days, make the days count!
