Sorry AZTOY that I didn't repond earlier. By now you are probably gone, but just in case there was a delay (known to happen, I ended up actually leaving for basic about 3 months after I was originally scheduled and I got about 2 weeks notice of when I was actually leaving).
Please, tell me about "Tank Hill"?
Hmm, if memory serves (and 13 years, 10 and a half months since I left for basic it might not) we called what some of the guys are calling "drag ??? hill" tank hill. Anyway, it is (or is also) the old, drafty, WWI/WWII era wood barracks that are impossible to keep heated in the winter or air conditioned in the summer. Pray that you get a different barracks. I ended up in one of the 1950s/60s era, college dorm style barracks with squad bays instead of platoon sized bays (they weren't too bad, though they too could be pretty drafty). If you are really lucky you'll get into the 1980s vintage "starships".
Anyway, like I said, when I was there (if I remember correctly) in addition to actual "Tank Hill" being called "Tank Hill" (if I remember correctly, again possibly not, the reason for the name is that it housed people training for the Armor Corps during WWII) we called one really huge, painful hill, that we were always marching (usually double time) over, "Tank Hill". At any rate I seem to recall that the base and our routes were always devised in such a way that we were always marching or running up a steep hill or over sandy dunes- no fun.
Some parts of BCT are no fun, some are almost painful. Sometimes you'll be kicking yourself saying "why the heck did I do this too myself", but other times you'll be loving it. Parts of basic training were some of the best times and most fun I've had in my life ("playing soldier" on FTXes, shooting the M16 nearly entire afternoons, shooting the M16 at night and watching the tracer rounds going downrange, shooting the M60, shooting off a few rounds from the grenade launcher, shooting the LAW even if it was just a downsized training round, "Victory Tower", etc). Keep a good attitude, put up with the parts that suck, and enjoy the parts that are fun. Most importantly, keep your sense of humor (but don't laugh at the drill sergeants, and with some of what they say that isn't as easy as you'd expect).
