Know your 7 core valuesYou’ll have to memorize many things in Basic Training and you’ll eventually be asked to recite by memory something you were given ample to learn.
One of these things will be the 7 core values: Leadership, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. Not knowing the 7 core values is a good way to find out just how loud the drill sergeants can yell. Memorizing them before you ship out will give you one less thing to stress about and one less reason for the drill sergeant to focus on you. Remember, you’re going to be yelled at anyway but you’ll feel better knowing it’s not because you didn’t prepare beforehand.
