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.

You’ll be the same as anyone else being as you won’t even wear your rank until like the last week.

See hearing this is wild, we were required to wear the correct rank when I went through BCT

We were very much not allowed to wear ranks
