yes, something is wrong. This definitely can affect you in basic training. You have to see a medical doctor immediately.

Do you feel this way when standing in the same spot? If you feel this way when standing at attention or standing still it is because you are locking your knees which in turn cuts circulation of blood. I have seen guys fall out during dress inspection doing this. I hope this can help you and good luck.

Yes-- see a doctor or let them know about it before you go to training.

when you stand for a while, be sure not to lock your knees or make them stiff, this causes fainting, loosen up just a bit.
