You should expect a shock to the system. Much of your indoctrination may seem arbitrary and perhaps ridiculous, but there's a method to the madness. Soak it in, embrace the suck, and remember that many have come before you. It is survivable, and it is designed to begin separating wheat from chaff. Keep your eye on the prize
And, yes, while the Army & Navy are at odds over the Dec 12th game, the truth is that we also don't like the Navy for the other 364 days of the year. But never forget that while we may not like each other, we both dislike the chair force.

Have you received your appointment letter and the welcome package? The package has a lot of information that you should know cold before you arrive. It’s fast paced and will go quickly, though it may seem like it’ll never end.
Then again, things may have changed, as I had the last real plebe summer!
Also, you should drop the army tag. We don’t take lightly to sympathizing with them, especially as we get closer to December.
