Re: Air Force Boot - San Antonio
Boot is Boot.
Never give them a reason to remember you personally. Let someone else be the first one to come to their minds, whatever the subject. Recognition is for the other guys. Fewest words possible when necessary, quiet as a churchmouse the rest of the time.
Do as told, as well as you can, it's the only thing in the world while you're doing it. Rest of the time, do what you can to help your fellow recruits, don't be a selfish bastich.
If you don't understand, you probably aren't the only one; let the next guy do the asking.
Yes, no, I'll find out Sir (if that's still an appropriate address for instructors).
Instructors see recruits as falling into one of three categories; problems, hard chargers, and "the rest". Practice camo discipline and make your camo look like "the rest".
The only time you look an instructor square in the eye is when you're absolutely convinced you need to do a lot more disciplinary exercise. For some, that's actually a good idea. Just be sure that's not you.
