How do People Study in Basic Training When You Can’t Even Sleep?
In ’94 I failed basic training in the 3rd week due to asthma but I remember we did not sleep. Never knew people could fall asleep snoring while standing up until I saw boot camp.
So how did you study with all that sleep deprivation?
If you didn’t remember, there was a lot of “hurry and wait” in basic.
During that time, you pulled out your “guide” book or whatever version each branch has. You read it over and over until it’s burned into your memory, regardless if you’re sleep deprived or not.
Also, when we weren’t buffing our boots or cleaning the bays, what I did was write all the important facts down all over again in my notebook (sometimes, I re-wrote the same thing twice or more) to get it memorized. So my notebook was full of the same thing in our book. That’s how I passed with 90+ on all my tests and Honor Graduate (although, passing my run under the minimum time and doing at least 60 pushups/situps was also a requirement).
