Don't do it. Don't do it. No seriously don't. You're going to hate yourself in a year if you do. No, really, it's fun. Keep in mind that if you do enlist you'll have days where you hate this job, and you wonder why the hell you even signed up for this shit - just keep driving on and you'll be fine. You'll also have days where you think you have the best job in the world, and no one will ever convince you otherwise.

As for the barracks the rooms are pretty nice. Mine is small but I'm able to function - it has a fan, and a light dimmer, and a walk-in closet. It's pretty pimp. We do share a common area that has a bathroom, microwave, fridge, and sink/countertops. There's no stovetop. Though I've heard that the brand new barracks the Army's been constructing all over the place have them.

Try to go into basic in the best physical shape possible - atleast able to score 60's in each event on the APFT - if you enlist. If you don't you're gonna be sucking when you get to your duty station. Unfiortunately TRADOC has made basic training easier than what it's like at your duty station so keep that in mind.

Also, stay away from Kansas. Really. Ft. Riley isn't the best of duty stations.
