While it's nice to come out of basic with good stories that you can look back on and laugh at, I think it's selfish to come on inprocessing day with the intention of standing out. Basic isn't about you. If you're an attention-seeker, then have at it. But you won't score points with your classmates, I can promise you that. You can have fun during basic, but I recommend that you wait until you get a feel for what your cadre are like and how your flight works. Basic is a game, but if you blatantly treat I-day as a game, it doesn't reflect well on you. If you're going to be funny, better to be funny once people know you a little bit better.
