Bro, the Drill Sergeants in the U.S. Army will go ape **** on you if you call it boot camp. Boot camp is for the Marine Corps, Navy, etc. Basic training is what it's called in the U.S. Army. There's a big difference in that.
And the only way to make sure your body is prepared for the psychical requirements, is to start working out now! Otherwise your experience in basic training will make you wish you were sent back home!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
