So just how far have you gone to prepare for the release of Pirates?

I dont do Basic til April. But basically this is what they do:

~ Strip you of your belongings, provide you with everything you need
~ Strip you of your civilian way of thinking, and show you how to do everything all over again, military style

They tell you how to eat, think, sleep, clean, shower, shave, walk, talk. Everything. You go over insignia, ranks, routines, mottos, creeds, and pretty much the core values of the particular branch you join.

In addition to that, daily PT (jogging, push ups, chin ups, sit ups, obstacle courses, whatever they want to throw at you)

During Basic and at the end, there are certain tests you need to take, both on physical condtioning and the things you learned in the classrooms

Eww classrooms..... but on topic.
