For me it was hard but like they say it takes practice & patience. Don't get frustrated cause you don't get it right off the rip. They will have you doing all kinds of maneuvers when backing. The way I got through it was I just kept telling my self there's nothing to it but to do it. I hope this will help ya. Good luck

Practice practice and practice. When you think you have it practice some more. Don't be afraid to get laughed at. It rarely happens. Most professionals will get out and help if needed. I help almost everyday. I also receive help almost everyday. Take your time and remember GOAL

Dont worry. Even if you do struggle, it will eventually click in. I still use several pullups when dockig a trailer. I also get out several times to see where I am at. I don't care if people laugh at me. I rather get it done without hitting anything. I am a military vet as well, and we pretty much winged it as well when it came to vehicles. Did convoys in Iraq, and now drive locally to spend more time at home. You an 88M?

I was scared of backing but i practiced til i got real good at it and now its the easiest thing to do

Thanks for the words, No i am not an 88m i am a 13B (artillery) . I'm sure i will be fine . Getting out of the army is surprisingly really scary the army is all i know lol its like starting life over but this time having to support a family at the same time.

I had never driven anything with a trailer behind it when I started school. If you have good instructors at the school, they will help you with little cues and things to watch for. Once you get out on the road, practice at truckstops and anywhere else you have the opportunity. I have been at this for 15 months now. I am no expert by any means, but it is getting easier. Don't overthink it, and don't get angry when it won't go where you want it to on the first few tries. Oh yeah, Get Out And Look!!!!!

Thank you for your service.
