The idea is to survive the basic training (boot camp) without becoming a target for the more experienced trainers. A smug attitude will make your life a misery so be careful. Be pleasant, low key, and avoid confrontations. Good luck.

New recruits are accepted twice a year… (“B”) summer (July), and (“A”) winter (January).

So if you were born say in 1980 and join in the summer intake your “ESSO” will be “80B”, if winter it will be “80A”.

As you were probably unable to understand the bollocks GR and DT were posting, they suggested that you should not forget to take a few jars of Vaseline!

You can enjoy Turkish army and then as this army is an alliy one you can be exepted of Cyprus army.The only problem is that you will change gender during your obligation there.
