My boot camp experience was awesome: By volunteering and taking inititive the instructors were more prone to give me 'perks' (food in chow hall, going to pick up clothing, shopping for the group of guys, etc). All those things typically got me out of having to go through all the shit from other people screwing things up.
Is your experience in the US military or Canadian?
From our experience in the US Military you'd be branded a kiss ass and most instructor's wouldn't care and you're comrades would resent you if you received any preferantial treatment and you might find yourself on the receiving end of some good ole fashioned hazing.
I was a witness to a sock 'n lock attack and it's not pretty.
