Start adjusting to getting up *very* early and working long days. Pay close attention to your grooming and cleaning habits. Pleasing a Drill Sergeant is easier if you get in the habit now of being a neat freak. This is probably the most important: Schedule a last fling. Get together with your friends and go to the beach, or whatever place you have. Spend a weekend before leaving having a great time. Your life is about to change radically, and you'll treasure those memories. Thank you for your service. Keep working out, focusing on endurance.
