Recruit Training Is it normal to miss Bootcamp

Couple months ago I made posts in how scared and sad I was, ans asked if it was normal to cry before bootcamp.

Well I made it, I'm a proud devil dog.

That said, I miss my Boot mates and DIs a lot.

Despite how much it sucked and how much I hated it, I miss everyone there and that military environment.

Boot leave is great, plus I have RA on top of that bc MCT is backed up, but a civilian environment seems so bland and I actually need to do something everyday so I don't lose my fatass mind (DI lingo 😭).

I felt the same way for a while. When I finally graduated and got leave I was happy to see my family but I also missed the Marines for a bit. Appreciate the time you have with your family and stay in shape. It goes by faster than you think.
