Back for Christmas

[Graham]

I got 2 weeks off from basic training for Christmas. What goes on here guys? Anything you guys want to know about basic training?

[Demonic]

Are there any jackasses?
Have you beat up anyone?
What do you miss most?
Is the whole thing living up to your expectations?
Also hi I kind of missed you.

[Psycho]

Do you have the screamy full metal jacket type instructors?

[jrgp]

Any code reds yet? Is anyone having a SSB Brawl contest on the Wii like Carl brought up?

[Nems]

Apparently, † wasn't on anybody's good side.

cool

what training do you do?  any explosives/weapons?  also, I'd like to hear of any fights/jackasses like the others requested

[echo_trail]

Cunt, been writing you on facebook, but no answer..

[Laser Guy]

Glad you are still in ONE piece

[a-4-year-old]

If you kill anyone remember to eat their heart to gain their their courage. Their rich, tasty courage.

Is it as hard as you thought?
How's your gun?
Do you shoot a lot?

We missed you :/

[SadistAtHeart]

Is basic training as difficult as people make it out to be?

Really good to see you back, mate.

[Graham]

-Are there any jackasses?
Yes, in fact we have had many people get Article 15'd which is money taken out of their paycheck and get time added on they have to stay. On top of getting smoked(Doing pushups or something way harder when you do something wrong.) constantly.
-Have you beat up anyone?
Not yet, any physical contact can be 15'd. We have to be very careful, now I just push people out of my way if I get pissed.
-What do you miss most?
Privacy, you NEVER get to be alone. Even if you take a dump someone is sitting in the latrine waiting for you to get done.
 -Is the whole thing living up to your expectations?
Yeah, just to let everyone know the time I started training myself to get into the military I was 300lbs, I am now down to about 190 after finally getting into basic at about 220-225. I am getting what I though I would out of it.

-Do you have the screamy full metal jacket type instructors?
Yeah they aren't allowed to hit you but they find ways to do it legally, one of the drill sergeants is awesomely loud. He says stuff like we are fucking up his universe, he is a jedi knight and motherfucking private you don't want him to go sith lord, he is the devil and God and you don't want to fuck with either. He is intense but he has such a great sense of humor sometimes its hard not to laugh when you are getting smoked.

-Any code reds yet? Is anyone having a SSB Brawl contest on the Wii like Carl brought up?
No clue what a code red is... I am in basic the only piece of technology I get to see is a phone booth.

-what training do you do?  any explosives/weapons?
We have done a lot of training with our M16. I love that rifle. When I get back I get to fire craploads of other weapons including a 50cal and a lob  few hand grenades. Other than that there is way to many things we do for me to type out now.

-Is it as hard as you thought?
Physically it's hard but not as hard as tv and movies make it out to be. Mentally it's not hard at all, get used to being constantly yelled at and being treated like shit.
How's your gun?
It's called a weapon retard. Start pushing.
Do you shoot a lot?
Yes but not as much as I want to.

-Is basic training as difficult as people make it out to be?
It's as hard as you make it, if you keep your head down, blend in, and just do what you are told its easy. If you have to make drama constantly it's hell.

I will see if I can get some youtube clips of training I have done so far later.

[PANZERCATWAGON]

yo church nice to see you

glad to see youre now doing what you wanted. that weight loss is quite a feat though i pretty much knew if you joined the army youd achieve it

is your mind still set on the explosives path or has that changed since youve joined

[Graham]

Yeah panzy I am still doing 89D(EOD), I just took my bomb suit test which is just getting smoked in NBC(Nuclear, biological, chemical) gear. That isn't bad except the gas mask... go run a mile in a gas mask and you will find out how hard it is to actually(impossible) to catch your breathe in a gas mask. Then we have to move big jugs of water and sort change in our NBC gear. Then we put on a bomb suit that weighs 89 pounds and do pushups, walk around, sort change again, then lift and roll around a humvee tire.

So no flexing for us?

[Thinkto urself]

Do you feel like putting an eotech on everything yet?

[Vilho]

Hi Onegram! What kind of food they offer to you, and how does it feel to be surrounded by technology again?

[Nems]

He says stuff like we are f**king up his universe, he is a jedi knight and motherf**king private you don't want him to go sith lord

That's pretty funny

[a-4-year-old]

Whats it like to be paid to kill people?

[Graham]

Hi Onegram! What kind of food they offer to you, and how does it feel to be surrounded by technology again?

Bad food, very bad food. Feels great to get my hands on a computer again though.

-Whats it like to be paid to kill people?
I haven't killed anyone yet. When I do I will tell you.
