There is noway to prepare for in your face yelling or who they will pick out to play with. Just listen up and move fast and watch were and who you might run into. Don't run into a DI, or you will bend for along time. Practice your left from your right, and try to march right. Feet at 45 degrees. Know your Military uniform sizes that fit you. Your 5'9" and weigh 144, so might take small reg or medium reg, also cover size this is the hat, boot size, also all sizes socks, t-shirts, under wear. After you get your head shaved in 18 seconds, you get in line and get your sea bag issue, this is were you need to know your sizes. Also remember your SSN # by heart.
