So you’ve graduated Recruit Training and you believe it’s all downhill from here? Think again Devil Dog, you still have a few more items on the agenda to complete before you can even think about relaxing. In fact, the vast majority of Marines make the unfortunate mistake of simply showing up to the School of Infantry, rather than preparing PRIOR to arriving. The reason I say this is unfortunate is because your SOI Instructors will push you physically and mentally, MUCH HARDER than your days at the Recruit Depot. Expect the PT to be more demanding, the pace for hiking to be faster, the weight you will carry on these hikes will be much heavier and your sleep time will be much less.
Read this book and gain useful insight into things you can do NOW that will improve your standard of living immensely later. Whether or not you read book one in this series is irrelevant, this book is filled with nothing but information about the School of Infantry. The primary focus of this book is the combat training non-grunt Marines receive, however much of the training is similar.
Do yourself a favor, read this book, follow its advice and thrive in training.
