Your first couple of days will actually be pretty calm. They'll deprive you of sleep while slowly indoctrinating you to the process of waiting. No yelling or physical activity. Once your initial paperwork is finished and you have your first set of gear issued to you (sweatsuits, towels, etc) they'll take you to your barracks. That's when the fun starts.

Remember that boot camp is just a game. The best advice I can provide is to pay attention and keep quiet. Oh, and PACK LIGHT! Don't be the asshole with a ton of luggage. And when you do head to your barracks, make sure and stand next to someone you perceive as being a tidy person. It will pay off.

Good luck, boot!
