<p>I’ve heard lots of people say that you shouldnt try to stand out. For the most part this is true. BCT is hard enough as it is without getting “special attention” but at the same time if you have a truly unique story you wont remember how bad it was at the time. My bud from HS wore a hanes tshirt that said “TRAIN ME!” on it and he got one heck of a welcome. But everytime someone asks us how basic trianing went he has that story to pull out. So really it all depends on how much you are willing to put up with. Try to have fun and keep a good attitude! Good luck '11!</p>
