A sane person does not want 20 hours days eating crackers and peanut butter, and sleeping in some dirt hole.

I went through SOI back in 92. Like the others posted, be prepared for early mornings waiting to draw weapons at the armory, long humps to BFE, lots of weapons time, long humps BACK, long nights cleaning weapons at the armory, lots of MRE's. And LOTS of Hurry up and Wait. The troop handlers were fairly competent, they arent as hard core as DI's but dont put up with any $hit either. They are more likely to settle you out if you get out of line. They treat you like Marines, and expect you to act like one.
If you arent humping or in the field, I remember having most evenings to our selves, and if we had a good field day, Thurs nights, we usually had liberty early Fri afternoon until 0600 Monday mornings...Stay out of the E club, or at least keep your mouth shut. Dont go down on the hookers in tiajuana either...

A little WWII story my uncle told me about how in the army the soldiers were issued a pro, a purple tablet with a skull and cross bones on it to be dissolved in water and used as a wash after exposure. Well, one night in the Phillipines his buddy said, kid throw me that canteen and randomly my uncle threw him a canteen unknowing that a pro mixture was in it. Lucky they were attached to a field hospital because his buddy had two thirds of his stomach removed that night. First they tried court-marshalling my uncle for trying to kill his buddy, then they tried court-marshalling his buddy for trying to commit suicide.

Ha! One of the things I love about Leatherneck.com, other than all you nasty jarheads, is the memories that some of these topics bring back...
Fun now, but man I hated those humps then...anyone remember the 'microwave tower just north of SOI...everytime one of our humps passed (every hump I think) it, we climbed it...several times...

Just wait until you get to climb Mt. Motherphucker and the Jolly Green Giant a few times...you'll wish you had chosen Motor T. Those $hit heads would drive by us and wave....
Good luck, seriously. You'll do well. Just keep up the PT prior to SOI, they jump right into it.
