Staying in Shape in Basic Training
I don't have any advice for keeping your embouchure in shape during basic, but I do have some advice about basic itself -- you will be told to do things in ways that seem ridiculous. Do them the way that you're told to do them. The point (well, one of the points) of basic is to break civilian habits and teach to to do things the way you're told to do them, first time, every time.
