It is too late to do too much. So just enjoy your weekend. When you get there just keep your head right and remember that every Marines has gone through it, and you can do it too. At times you'll question your decision to enlist- just keep your eye on the goal and you'll be a Marine before you know it.

Well, it's Sunday, so maybe you will still get a chance to read this.

Don't worry about it... embrace it all... the pain, the exhaustion, the whole experience... dive right into it like a crazy person, and just give it 110% all the way through.

What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, and Boot Camp is designed specifically not to kill you.

Once you develop that mindset.... the Marine Corps mindset... that things like pain and exhaustion and cold are GOOD, and that the body was designed to over come them, and to excel under those sort of conditions... it will stay with you for the rest of your life, and serve you well in all things you encounter.
