The Ultimate Basic Training Guidebook: Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Surviving Boot Camp

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 can?t 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. more
