Product Description
As anyone who has undergone the transition from civilian to soldier will tell you, basic training is a lot tougher and more challenging than any recruit can imagine. Michael Volkin discovered that fact soon after 9-11, when his personal vow "to serve my country" convinced him to enlist in the U.S. Army. As Volkin quickly discovered, he was utterly unprepared for the new world of the military, "a completely different environment full of unknown exercises and acronyms, where you cant eat or talk without permission. This easy-to-follow survival guide is written specifically for every new or prospective recruit about to enter any branch of the armed forces. Offers step-by-step instructions and solutions, including helpful charts and graphics, on how to prepare both physically and mentally for boot camp.

If you haven't been to boot camp, this book is a must. It has mostly everything you need to know to prepare yourself. From what not to say & do in front of a drill sergeant to how to get your body ready for the physical challenge. Give yourself a jump on the things you must memorize so you could do something else with your time while going through boot camp.

My son will go to marine boot camp in July. I read this first and it was a great help for me to understand what will happen and what he needs to do before he goes. I highly recommend this not only for our "new" military but for their parents as well.

This book has been super helpful in preparing my husband for boot camp- physically and mentally. The only problem is that we've learned that after the publishing of this book a lot changed in army boot camp. At first my husband was interested in joining the national guard, but in order to go to a boot camp like what is described in this book, he has to choose a different branch of military.
