spock said:Thx guys, I guess my description of "gentle" wasn't the best one. I avoid fights to avoid getting into trouble (ie: getting suspended and stuff), I usually try to keep away from the mess of it all, and in school, I try to deal with others in non-violent ways, even if they're acting aggressive towards me, once again, because I myself don't want to get punished by the authority because I retaliated (remember in school, how they said you should always try to solve things in a civilized matter? I took that to heart). That being said, if necessary, I can and will defend myself and my dignity. But thank you guys for the heads up.
Sounds like you'd do fine, judging from my own basic (it was officer basic, though, so it might be a little different). You'll get ribbing - from the instructors and your buddies - but I never found it to be too excessive. Some people tend to catch more s--- than others, but that's usually a function of their performance (or lack thereof) rather than their character. Having a laid-back character is a good thing, as long as you put the drive in when necessary. It helps you deal with stress. If you put in your best effort, keep standard (or better), and keep on top of things, you shouldn't have any problems with anyone worth their salt.
