I'm leaving for Fort Jackson on the 24th of January for BCT. I already know the basics like keep your mouth shut and do what you're told rule. But does anyone have anything to really focus on. Like I heard that bringing cotton balls and Q-tips are good for cleaning your rifle. Another person told me to buy icy-hot at the PX when I get my advance pay card. He said that it may make the barracks smell like spearmint but your body will thank you in the morning or when you get up for fire-watch/guard or whatever. And cough drops for the sore throat that you, not may, but WILL be getting.
And what about Victory Forge? Any tips for that? I hear it's one of those "Don't give up on yourself and you wont fail" type of challenges. Yeah, I know I could search for that answer online but it's better if someone who's done it actually tells me. They don't sugar-coat, aka bullsh*t, what it's like.
By the way, will my sarcastic "Jack-***-ism" get me "special" treatment?
Wish me luck...or a miracle.
