I will explain the top tip for you for surviving Marine Corps basic training. One thing that you have to understand is why you have to go through basic training to begin with. Basic training is set up so that you will be broken down into a formidable opponent for the enemies in a wartime situation. In essence, you will be transformed into a powerful fighting robot. You will no longer be an individual, you will become part of a very powerful and strong unit that will be perfectly trained to fight and to survive. Here is the best tip that I can provide you with for preparing yourself for boot camp.

Mental Preparation Is Necessary:

Understand that you have an internal ability to deal with things that you never had to deal with before and that you probably presently feel are impossible to deal with. The brain is an amazing thing, and actually you only use a portion of of our brain on a daily basis.

Going through basic training, you learn to deal with situations that the normal human being is unable to do with mentally or physically. In other words, my major tip for you is that you should start to prepare yourself mentally before arriving at boot camp in order to breeze through the training sessions.

This mental preparation can be done in numerous ways. Nevertheless, learning to meditate, to focus, and to concentrate on a level that you never had to accomplish previously is a great plan of action. Once you deal with something mentally through visualization, then the physical part will just be secondary.

Good luck with your goal of surviving Marine Corps basic training camp. I know that you will be successful as long as you put your mind to it and understand that your instructors are not there to hurt you mentally, they are there to turn you into the best Marine possible.

I realize that boot camp can be a scary prospect for some. Nevertheless, the average person will be able to succeed at boot camp. I suggest that you view the videos available for free at this site: Marine Boot Camp Videos.
