I'm glad that I went through the "old school" basic training. I've seen a recent basic training class. It's pathetic! They're allowed to have cell phones, don't do the full on 12 mile road march, and have a lot of "comforts" while in the "field". What has our military become damn it! :angry:
What next, will they be making a bon fire, eating smores, and singing "Kumbaya" during their bivouac? WTF
Jump school kicked my a$$, but I made it. Air Assault school was shorter, but seemed to be a lot more difficult. Those damn Ft. Benning mosquitos were huge, and they nearly carried me off into the night. Glad I had my LBE and my M16. :icon_wink:
