Hi I'm Specialist Anderson, I'm answering Will's question from Woodstock, Illinois. He asks; "What the first night, how much sleep did you get the first night?"

And the first night we were there, we were at reception. Which is where they process you, and I was awake for 41-hours before we finally got to go to sleep.

But once you get to basic, they usually give you about 7-hours a night to get some sleep and some rest.

Usually it may be a little less, may be a littler more depending on what you do. But other than that you usually are pretty busy.
