E-1 through E-3 (bootcamp)

 RTC Great Lakes, IL. This is the beginning of my military life. I am not sure what I have gotten myself into. I am surrounded by young men from all over the nation. Will I be able to make it? Most of these guys I am here with are nothing like me. Nothing against any of them but, I don't know if I will have anything in common with them. As time goes on I have gelled with a few guys and think that this isn't the worst thing in the world. Life here is tough but we can make it through it together.
