BMT Routine

[pogchamp]

Is it true that first few day will only be admin stuff? Gonna be so boring.

yea typically it'll start with PC interviews, sergeant interviews, etc. get to know your platoon mates and your commanders to find out who needs special care, etc.

GENERALLY, first few days are the easiest... then all hell breaks loose, gg good luck

Call home when you have admin time, though you may have to try your luck as cell reception is pretty poor in some areas.

Personally, never felt homesick at all, so I only called the night before first book out.

you'll be fine, dont worry so much, BMT is seriously damn easy compared to everything else that will happen after BMT in a typical combat fit NSF life...

go make friends with ur bunk mates, be nice, help each other, time really fly. only advice i have is dont get injured while you're inside

u want to go in injury free and come out injury free

i don’t think you can ever tell someone not to get injured. Nobody wants to get injured. Is more like you tell someone to be careful.

The phrase "Be careful" has lots of meaning behind it such as

"be careful, you might lose your valuable items"
"be careful, your feelings may get hurt"
"be careful, your bunk mates may betray you"

While "don't get injured"

Is a far more simpler phrase to use when referring to one's physical health.

I don't see an issue in how I used that phrase in this context...

However, If you want to be meticulous about how the English language is used around here, saying "is more like you tell someone to be careful" is actually incorrect. Let's see,

"is more like you tell someone to be careful" was your original sentence. A better way to put it would be,

"Be careful, would be a better phrase to use in this context."

Your entire post is also not only vague but incorrect in a sense that you're telling me that I can never tell someone not to get injured while at the same time, telling them to be careful.

The correct way to put it would be

"Everyone will get injured, you can't tell them not to get injured but you can advice them to be careful of the possibilities of getting injured."

Everyone will get injured, you can't tell them not to get injured but you can advice them to be careful of the possibilities of getting injured.
