You will report on the date you are ordered, and the training you receive will make you ready. Really there is nothing to fear. The purpose of boot camp is to make you ready. The US Military does not expect an enlistee to be ready for anything. This is the purpose of Basic Training, to make you ready.
This is to prepare you to do the work. If you are not ready for this phase, the results could be disastrous.
