*ARMY RECEPTION STATION*
The Army Reception Center will be your first introduction to Army life. In the reception station, you will get your Army haircut, your basic issue of clothing, your immunizations and the start of your Army 201 file (your Army records folder). Plan to be in the reception area between two and three days. They will allow you little sleep and will keep you moving. Expect to be yelled at; this is done to remind you that you are now Army property. Don't let them wear you down. Everyone gets the same treatment.

After reception, you will be taken to your basic training company. There you will meet your drill instructor.This will not be a pleasant experience, but don't take it personally. If your drill instructor screams in your face and makes you do what seem to be a million push-ups, they are really not harassing you. They are sizing you and your fellow soldiers up. They want to see how physically fit you are and the degree of individuality in you. Grin and bear it. Look at how other soldiers are taking it to get your mind off of how scared, confused and tired you feel.
