What is "worst" to you might be "not that bad" to someone else.

Maybe ask a question that makes sense or has some sort of usefullness.

Well the question basically asks for advice, but i see your point..people can just stick with the second part of the question  ;D

The worst thing?  None of them are bad, so there can be no "worst".

You will be given the chance to improve yourself.  Nothing bad about that at all.

But in the context of your question?

IMO...you will have to adapt to living with some people who you think are dumb or lazy or whatever the term of the day is...people who you would not normally go for a beer with on a Friday night.

At the end of your Indoc period, you will find yourself going to have a beer with them on a Friday night...and maybe not liking some of them anymore than when you first meet them 4-5 weeks earlier but...they are now part of your platoon.

You'll understand that at a later time.  If you don't..you should be re-coursed IMO.  Even the guys on my Basic we didn't care for much were still in OUR platoon.

What you need to remember is very simple.

Do WHAT you're told...WHEN you're told..HOW you're told.  And do all those things 101% of your ability.

The rest?  Far too much to pass on here, and you won't get it until ATLEAST a few weeks into BMQ.

Thats my 2 cents...but....meh.
