Is it normal that i'm scared of failing basic training for the army?

Brush all doubts aside and focus. You CAN do this :D

It is normal to be stressed about it, however, I don't think you have any reason to think you're going to fail if you're mentally and physically prepared. I was scared too but once you get there and get the ball rolling, the stress starts to go away. I think the stress comes from not knowing and being anxious. I'm sure you'll be okay once you get there. :)

"Contrary to popular belief, it's actually pretty easy to get kicked out of the Army, especially if someone hasnt been to Basic Training."

I went to BCT in 2000, and I have to disagree with you, it's NOT easy to get kicked out of the Army unless you do something horrible. It would probably be easier to get kicked out while waiting for BCT but once you get there, they won't let you out of it so easy. Failing a PFT test or failing a confidence course at BCT is NOT going to get you kicked out. Drill Sergeants are hard asses, believe it or not,they actually want to see you succeed. That is their DUTY!

If you don't pass your PT test they will give you another chance or they will just recycle you and you have to do BCT over, at this point you'll be begging them to kick you out. They like to scare you and make you think that they'll kick you out but this is all to get you to try your hardest to pass BCT. I only saw one person get kicked out of the Army during BCT and that was because he was Narcoleptic. I saw a guy break his own arm to try and get kicked out and all they did was recycle him and he had to start basic over. I saw a girl fake sleep walk at night so she would get kicked out, she got extra detail and conveniently stopped sleep walking.

I actually loved BCT, it was one of the most memorable things I have ever done and I consider it an accomplishment. It's not easy but it's also not impossible. You're DS is there to push you and make sure you succeed. You're not going to fail unless you don't try. My battle buddy was terrified of Victory Tower, the DS stayed with here until she did it even after all of us were already at the barracks getting ready for lights out. They told here she wasn't going back until she did it and she did! It's pretty hard to fail when you have someone telling you you're not going home until you do it.

Good Luck! I hope this helped.

Very normal. When I joined the Army (5+ years ago) I was terrified of basic training. I watched guys who were way out of shape and overweight make it. The physical training is made to gradually indoctrinate you into the physical rigirs that are part of the military lively hood. It will be hard from start to finish, but they wont start of with a 5 mile run or something.

Basic training is not supposed to be easy. It is designed to be the hardest thing you've ever done. The reason why it is so hard is because you want to be a soldier.
War is probably the most stressful environment known. How can the Army possibly allow someone to be a soldier if they can't handle drill sargents yelling at you? Also, the Army needs people who can follow instructions. Hence "Basic Training." So pay close attention (attention to detail is what they always said in the Air Force), remember what they are doing is for your own good, and you should be set.

Yes, it's normal. Don't stress too much - your passion and drive will push you through. Good on you, seriously ;) you can do it!

Its completely normal to be nervous since this is a big step. If youre nervous about not being physically fit start working out! but if its emotionally dont worry cause if you're as passionate as you sound everthing will come into place :)

If you're healthy and physically fit, why do you think you'll fail? If you're all that worried, you should start getting up at 4 a.m. now and running 4 miles and exercising for an hour.

It's normal to be a little nervous but use it to motivate yourself to work hard now and when you get there. Make sure you report in the absolute best shape of your life. Think positive and you'll be alright and living your dream. Thank you for your service!

I think it's the pressure from your family's history of military jobs that is stressing you out.

Sounds like someones been playing to much MW3
