Does anybody have any advice for my first NG drill this weekend?

Good news! You’re a PVT, so nobody expects much out of you, except basic soldiering skills (be in the right place, at the right time, and on the right uniform). Go in with the mindset that someday you’ll own that drill floor, but not without the mentor ship of your leaders. Effectively communicate and keep track of your gear. If you don’t know what’s expected of you, communicate that to your NCO...who also should conduct an initial counseling and complete a sponsorship packet with you. And, for the rest of your career, do what’s right because it’s the right thing to do. And...when you have admin or supply issues, bring it up and follow up. NCOs are human, too. Just don’t call us that to our faces. Relax a little...it’s not as stressful as BCT and AIT, but not quite as structured, either.

Show up at least 30 minutes early in the proper uniform with a good attitude. Try to link up with your first line leader prior to formation to introduce yourself.

It's natural to feel nervous, but dont sweat it! Just be on time and in the right uniform. Introduce yourself to others and let them know its your first drill.
