Congratulations, Shipmate! BZ!!

Boot camp is easy. The hardest part was being away from my wife and kids. Thankfully, due to my security clearance, I was able to make several phone calls with no time limit.
Dealing with the children was pretty rough sometimes. A lot of them were sissies that couldn't handle any sort of exercise. We started with 88 and ended with 61. That final number includes several asmo ins. I tried to lay low, but it's impossible for the old guy to lay low. I started p-days as laundry Po and ended up being medical yeoman.
Like I said before, boot camp is easy. It's 95% a mind game. If you can hold it together for the first 3 weeks you can make it.... Unless you can't do 10 push-ups then you're screwed.
