Congratulations peter12, that is excellent news! Look forward to reading about your experiences.
My experience is only as a cadet but hopefully applies the same.
You will come to see your unit members more as family, not as co-workers.
Hurry up and wait will become a way of life.
Don't hesitate to step forward if they ask for volunteers. It might be something lousy, but if you don't do it, some of your friends will need to do it without your help.
Some of the boxed meals are not bad. There is one in particular that I thought was horrible, sorry can't remember which. You'll figure it out quick when someone asks you to trade lol.
Don't lock your knees when standing at attention.
Good luck!
