<human>: When I was getting ready to leave for basic training for the Marines, I was at MEPs in New Orleans and I was there alone for 2 days. (Scared shitless) Well, I was going to eat at the hotel's dining area and I saw 2 younger guys walking in front of me. To avoid having people I didn't want to sit with me, or just look like a loser sitting alone, I asked them if I could sit with them. We all sat down, talked about the branches we were joining, made jokes on themselves because they were Army and I am a tiny little girl joining the Marines. We hung out all that day until we had to go back to our rooms. The next day before leaving, I told them to not forget to say "Yes sir, and no sir" ya know, typical pre-basic training bullshit. They laughed, and told me to not call my DI a "sir", then both gave me a hug and wished me luck. I never forgot how they made me have more confidence with my decision. And I have never seen or heard from them since. Sometimes total strangers can make you feel THAT much better.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: Two guys boosted my confidence before leaving for basic. Never spoke to them again after MEPs. Never really got to thank them.
