Prospective Corp members are usually baraged with a lot of information,most of them conflicting. These informations range from Online registration, getting the call up letter, preparation for deployment and that picture listing the 'requirements' in camp. While getting this general information are thrown around, its harder to get detailed break down of what really would go down the first day at camp. We'll explore what an Otondo should be expecting and how S/he could make it easier.
