Information from an actual Cadet

<p>Just my two cents, but from my experience, Yuk year just plain sucked. Plebe year wasnt that bad, and then with the classes and all of Yuk year, upperclassmen in your company just kind of ignoring you, and having a plebe who messes everything up, it just makes for a crappy time. I was probably one of the more bitter yuks in my company. Then I was a CFT2 SL and figured out that no one likes listening to yuks complain because it sucks for everyone, and once you become a cow, life’s not that bad. I told my squad every day that yuk year was going to be worse than plebe year, and they were all like “there’s no way,” then midway through the academic year, most of them came to me and said that I was right. If being in the Army is what you feel will be best for you in your life, then yuk year’s no big deal. Cow and Firstie year more than make up for it, and life will be great until you have to go to BOLC II…
Again, just my two cents.</p>
