The easiest way to make it off that island or that beach scene is chow to chow. They feed you three times a day. If you got a girlfriend don't expect to stay together I've seen dear john letters come across my buddies face and they flip.... Move with speed and sound off with intensity and some volume and you will be fine... Count Sunday's not days.... There's one week of receiving and 11 weeks of hell on earth followed by a week of getting your shit together to go home... Put your heart and soul into becoming a marine and you will become one. It's something earned... Never given... Also listen to the instructions not the sound of them.... They will fix your mistakes.... Had a company 1st Sgt at 2recruit training battalion gulf company inform me I am going to pay for all of my sins on that island... It will be the same for you... As the pale lady from the hunger games says.... May the odds be ever in your favor
