Even if you've signed up to be a computer operator, you still have to go through the nightmare of boot camp. Remember, you can get a head start on making rank if you do well.
A program that will get you ready should include activities similar in effect to what you will go through. Despite its propaganda, the military relies too much on the level of compatibility already achieved by the recruit in civilian life. There is no shock therapy there--if boot camp comes as a shock to you, it will leave you permanently straggling.
1. Watch a clock for at least an hour and immediately write down each time a minute passes (or something equally tedious).
2. Stand up for an hour, staring at a wall.
3. Do or eat something that will make you throw up.
4. Fast for two days. Loaf while you're doing it, no need to overwhelm yourself in these preliminaries.
5. Go without sleep for 48 hours.
6. Join a fraternity just to go through Hell Week.
