My official leave date is May 6th 2012 but my recruiter told me it could be much sooner than that since i passed my IST already. I'm so terrified/nervous/ready for boot camp haha

San Diego, yea man everyone who now enlists gets pushed a whole year until they leave for boot camp it sucks, but my recruiter had a guy who was supposed to leave in February actually end up leaving a couple weeks ago so hopefully ill be able to leave after August or something. I just need to study my General Orders more

yes. There is probably about 100 things you need to know. You will have plenty of time to learn that stuff in bootcamp.
My advice stay quiet do what you're told, Be loud when they talk to you, and dont volunteer for anything.

Dang alright, thank you for the advice i'll definitely remember that. I'm sorry i just have one more question, is there anyway to get promoted to PFC before boot camp? I know the college credits way but none of my credits were accepted

get 2 people to join and make sure your recruiter puts you as a referal. Its also pretty easy to get promoted while you are in bootcamp. Be the leader in Bootcamp tell people to stfu. Thats the hard way and imo not worth it. lol, You will be the one the DI punishes when **** goes down. also that will not make you any friends.
