Wish someone told me the mental game upfront. Physically BMT is designed for the average guy to pass, so unless you're very unfit you'll cope. The real challenge is the mental adjustment, giving up autonomy, the regimentation, being shouted at, missing home. Once I accepted I couldn't control the system and just focused on my section and getting through each day, it got way easier. Practical stuff, break in your boots early if you can, learn to pack your field pack efficiently, and hydrate seriously, heat injuries are no joke here. Also, the confinement first two weeks feels brutal but book-out after that is glorious and you'll appreciate home like never before. Keep your head down, help your buddies, time passes.
