With the local, you are still awake throughout the entire thing, and it just "doesn't hurt" There was one girl in our division who had to be put under, so she wasn't even awake.

It's really not bad at all. Like Guppy said you feel the pressure on your jaw, hear the sounds, and if they do a bit of drilling the smell isn't pleasant. After a few days of recovery you're as good as new. Dont worry about it, really. Thinking about it will make it seem worse than it really is. Plus, you may not even have your teeth removed.

yeah, between the apparent lack of sleep and just the culture shock I could only imagine how mentally challenging it will be!

Don't worry about wisdoms, either you are awake and don't feel anything, or you get knocked out.
Bootcamp is just hard mentally. The first week stinks becuase you don't know what to do, and see everyone else marching outside with flags in NWU's and you can't wait to be them and get out of your smurfs while standing in line waiting to eat chow. The worst week is probably week 3 ( mentally ) at least...because you have been in actual boot camp for 2 weeks, and you are just getting broken down every day mentally by your RDC's. After hell week, week 4, it starts to move quicker. When you are done week 5 and moving into 6, it goes by real quick. |
