My response is below name withheld to preserve anonymity :. The fact that you would ask that question shows you have no idea what you're getting yourself into. You will get yelled at by your drill sergeants -- and judging by your personality -- probably many times a day.
Not only will you not strike them, you will probably pee in your pants the first time you get yelled at. My advice to you is to not be overconfident; your ego might be your worst enemy. Best of luck. Someone might have told you that joining the military is a great source for repaying college loans which is true.
Someone also might have told you that joining the military will provide some direction and structure in your life which is also true. However, if you aren't joining the military because you genuinely want to be there and serve your country, your chances of failure skyrocket.
Mentally, you will have a very difficult time understanding why you are truly there, why you should continue being there and why you shouldn't just get up and walk away i. It is perfectly fine to join the military for the aforementioned reasons. However, the underlying reason must be for the love of your country and the true belief that you live in the greatest country in the world.
No one, and I mean no one, makes it through basic training without being helped by another recruit. You must be the type of person to offer and accept help when needed. I have seen countless recruits try to act too tough to admit they need help or are too afraid to ask other recruits when they need help. Either way, you must be a team player to graduate boot camp. Sergeant Michael Volkin is a U. Army veteran and expert on basic training issues.

The Marine Corps will direct deposit payment on the 1st and 15th days of the month. Originally Answered: What percentage of Marines fail the crucible test?
TL;DR answer: Very few, and those who do fail as opposed to getting injured would most likely be sent home. Aye, aye, sir! Drill instructor: Around, around, around!
Generally, though, PT only accounts for a portion of your day. At first, yeah. Every time you see a Marine in a campaign cover it sends a chill down your spine and you die a little bit on the inside, but after a while, your drill instructors will treat you just a little bit better. You may even have some cool sit-downs where one lectures about their personal experiences as a teaching tool.
If you can adapt, you can survive. The information on the Death Notice was spare and emotionless. D-mnit Carl!
