I am a future soldier and I have already enlisted and ship out at he end of May.Today, I got a phone call about something called Future soldier training. I have not been in contact with my recruiter since I enlisted so he has just left me out in the cold about everything. I have no clue what's going on. So, if anyone could give me some info on what FST is and what I should do about it? thank you

Your recruiter should've briefed you. Unfortunately, not all recruiters do this.
The Future Soldier thing, as you put it, is the Basic training task list (BTTL) that future soldiers in the army complete before shipping. Successful completion of this promotes them one rank (normally, E-1 to E-2).
It consists of learning military time, the phonetic alphabet, ranks, the 3 general orders, a physical fitness test, etc.
The long and short of it is that it gives you a heads-up before you head off to basic training.
Hope this helped...

we had similar sounding things when i first enlisted in the army, we called it d.e.p. delayed entry program, we all met somwhere once a week and went over questions, policies, do and donts of the army, studied ranks, basic soldiering skills and what not. dont know if thats the same as your thing
