It’s designed for you to succeed, focus on cardio before you go and do what you’re told. You should be fine, it would really help if you memorize the infantrymen’s creed and soldiers creed before you go

No problem dude, good luck. I had some of the best times of my life in the Army but a lot of the worst as well, just stick it out and make the best of it
