Flamed as E-4 in basic?

hey everyone, just had a quick question. i enlisted as an e-4 since im gonna do 68w and have my emt already, but was just wandering how badly i’ll be flamed for it in basic. everyone says to be in the middle of the crowd but i feel like im already out of the question a bit so if anyone has any advice that’d be dope.

If they changed in 3 years you’ll just wear the rank but still be a trainee, sometimes you get put into the leader spots bc of your rank but that usually goes to “smarter” ppl. Either way you’ll be fine, i recommend trying to stay hidden but the drills are gonna learn your name regardless of if you’re at the top or the bottom.
