Holy shit

Pros: Got to shoot belt fed machine guns, saved a lot of money, get muh war hero discount, VA healthcare (kind of a con too), paid to go to school now

One of my most vivid memories in Basic was when we crammed 40 privates into a range bathroom because the rotting shit made the room warmer than the 10F weather outside

I had to do burpees in a range bathroom once.

Oh lawd

Gross ass floor covered in piss

We had a guy drop his cold weather gloves in one of the bathroom pits

Was hilarious since everyone told him they pissed on his gloves

Just got to call that a loss

Or the chick who broke her finger on the grenade launcher

Coed boot camp?

Yeah Army was mixed

Different barracks though obviously

My friend that went through basic in like 2013 said they had a guy decide he didnt want to be a panzer grenadier any more and wandered off during an FTX

There's always that one guy

A guy from another platoon in boot tried to run away. Too bad we were on an island.

Took all his shit off during a rest and just hit the road

Or the entire land nav team gets lost

We had a girl eat tide pods unironically

3 times

When did you go?

Last winter

That's like a zoomer thing

I was the old fuck at 24

When I got out the tide pod meme was a thing and I just thought it was a Basic Training meme

You were probably older than some of the DS's

I'm 35 and I just got a text from a recruiter 2 weeks ago

Same age as 2 of them

We had one escape P.I

Lmao

They had posters everywhere warning of the consequences of deserting

How did he escape? Run out the front gate in green on green?

One of my other friends went through basic in like 1994, said they had a guy break one of his safety razors and use it to slash his wrists and then draw a pentagram on the wall of the showers

Legend

We had a guy do that minus the pentagram

Oi since none of you tards but sadmin, fugu, and maybe the swede are going to understand I'm going to rant here

Basic is simple lmao

@Finn the magic dragon

We had some folks try to desert out the window

So it was late in March I believe.
