Hi, I'm Private First Class Erick Peterson from Seattle, Washington and Dustin from Redmond, Washington ask; "What am I to expect when first getting there?"

You should expect that you're going to get yelled at, do a lot of push-ups, probably be freaked out for a while, probably not get much sleep. And the first couple of weeks it's going to suck, but after that it's pretty easy as long as you're squared away, do what you're told and don't get in trouble you'll be fine. I hope that answers you're question.
