Just listen to the drill sergeants, do what your told nothing more nothing less , always wear your mask so you don’t get Covid cuz if you get it , you have to isolate for 2 weeks or until your clear and start all over . And at the forge just keep going I promise victory breakfast will be so rewarding, don’t ever give up just keep pushing and help your battle buddies and study with them . REMEMBER FOR “End of Course” testing DOESNT matter don’t stress about it but try your best .
