Second you still post questions for answers. That’s how you learn. Keep it up. The right mentor will come alone to show you. Those E-4s you speak of may wear the tank BUT it takes more than rank to be the rank. Keep studying and asking questions and remember you are not limited to ONLY the guys in your unit. The service is a brotherhood. Good luck.

I went through the same things when I arrived to my first unit. I was PV2 and everyone else was specialist and above. I took a few months for that isolation feeling to dissipate. My advice is to try to find someone you trust to help you adjust easier. The friends you make in the military will be the closest friends you’ll ever have in life. You all are united for a purpose and everyone wants to see you do well. Keep up the good work PVT Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 07 Sep 2019 11:41:07 -0400 2019-09-07T11:41:07-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-advice-would-you-give-to-a-new-private-who-just-arrived-at-their-first-unit?n=5002382&urlhash=5002382 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Dont fall into the drama or sham that u see with others that might be around u remember why u enlisted and drive on. Dont let others determine ur career. Keep up the hard work!!!
