I am in the process of joining the Army and I was wondering if any could provide me with any good tips or any good advice to help prepare for basic. I would appreciate any help that anyone go give me. Thanks :)

Well I will need a little more info. I was also in the Army and a Drill Sergeant so I can help you.

What kind of PT are you doing now?
How is your PT?
What MOS are you looking at?
Any medical waivers or conditions that may hinder PT?

Get into shape, get to know the rank structure, practice marching, listen to the drill sergeant, if you get yelled at by the drill Sergeant dont take it personally, just learn from your own mistakes since everyone at boot camp made mistakes. Help your fellow recruits out when needed. Find out what you are good at (for example i couldnt fold my shirts 6" by 6" if my life depended on it, so i found out i was good at shining boots. My friend in boot camp was good at folding shirts so while he folded my shirts, i shined his boots. Good luck to you and let us know how it goes afterward. :)
