    Good job on signing up. As for the comment on looking forward to Basic, after the first 4 hours you will regret saying that. If you have a week of holding like most do, dont think that is real life. Once you get to the actual Basic you will eat those words!!! :D Start physical training now!!! Be safe!!!

    Oh well then you'll get plenty of "cake" in basic ;)

    YotaMan2007, shiiiiit I would not wanna be heading to basic at the start of the cold weather...

    started mine in february in jackson. sucked balls the first month, cold as shit but just warm enough they didn't have to worry about you dying... :eek:

    OP, if ur starting in April you should be good to go... IMO springtime is the best time to start weather wise
