...A bit of advice...
Most of you will not listen, it is proven fact. The drill instructors have stated many times durring my stay, that the same problem persists every cycle.
Do not fight amongst yourselves once you become a platoon... It does not help. Granted you are not going to like each other, and there are going to be times where you are like "DUMBA$$, STUFU! ALREADY." Trust me, been there. Done that. It does not help. Most of the time when you are being steamrolled it is simply because there is spare time and nothing else to do... so what does your killhat do? Make you stronger, you will appreciate this later.
I could give you loads of other advice but plain and simple it all boils down to this. Do not fight amongst yourselves and bootcamp will be easy. The sooner you grow as a platoon, the sooner bootcamp becomes FUN! ... Oh, and LISTEN WHEN THE DRILL INSTRUCTORS SPEAK! If someone does not hear them, help them (refer to the first bit of advice).
Marine, MCRD graduate of Plt 3102 3rd Bn. Mike Co. Third deck follow... yeah we had it. It could have been far worse... it can ALWAYS be far worse! In the end you look back thinking, "That wasn't that bad!" And trust me, you will grow to miss the Hell hole you called a squad bay... It began for me when my Greenbelts SAT DOWN the night before graduation and spoke to us like big brothers...
For future reference we had Kids from 1st and 2nd Bn. Get picked up into our Plt... all of them quit after 1 day with our killhat, as well as several from within our Bn, from other companies. We had one drop for "self proclaimed suicidal tendencies" one week before the crucible... guess when we picked him up???? Admin week... It can always get worse.
Hold Grape up!
Keep marching!
Your packs will become lighter...
