Whats SOI like? anything i need to know that might give me an edge over everyone else?
Even though you are still definitely a boot, you're a Marine, so act like one. If you have an issue or question or anything then bring it up to your instructors. They'll be tough on you, but more reasonable than bootcamp.
*disclaimer* I went through MCT instead of SOI b/c I was a POG....
Stay motivated!
