This was a letter from Chelsea sent to her friend Alex Wurzel who will be shipping out for his own bootcamp experience soon. Take a look at some advice she has for those who will be going through the same or a similar experience!
"Hey Alex,
I just wanted to send you a quick letter before you left. Hopefully you get this before you leave.
It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be... at least not yet. The days go by sooooo slow especially from breakfast to lunch, but the week goes fast. It doesn't seem like 2 weeks are done! I've been trying to lay low, do what I'm told, and keep my mouth shut. So far it's been working. I haven't been to the pit or quarterdeck where we get "incentive training" and extra PT. The drill instructors don't remember my name yet. For the net few weeks we mostly have classroom learning and a few field activities. Don't let all the yelling get to you. Hopefully you will get good drill sergeants like mine. We actually got a few compliments last week and got a change to see our senior DI laugh and joke with us. Living meal to meal or activity to activity really helps to get through the day. That's my only advice and just do what you're told. I'm sure you'll be fine and good luck!! See you in December.
Chelsea"
