well congratz, been through the USN's basic. as a 6 year retired vet. your going on a self building journey, that will provide for you for the rest of your life. Just remember you have your buddies life in your hand's, and he has your's. Take Heed what the drill instruction is. It is there to make sure every thing run's smooth and to make sure it can save you and your buddies life. You are an investment from not only your Country, the people that are with you but also an investment into yourself.
a good way is to get ready with your internal timing, get ready for long hour's and early rise. Also Time for eating, and double time marching everywhere!
"blue jackets manual" was for the Navy but the air force has one such book, study it as much as you can and practice it's procedures. I know you miss your family and friends, but just remember your self sacrifice for service is commendable and remember this it will serve you well.
what is a veteran:
A person who has had long experience in a particular field, esp. military service: "a veteran of two world wars".
or I like this saying myself:
"is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank
check made payable to The United States of America
for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’ "
