Good luck. Also there was some quote that said war may seem exciting to people who haven't experienced it, but in reality it's a very boring job whenever there is no combat. There a lot more "waiting for combat" than actual combat and I mean A LOT.

"war is only exciting to those who have never experienced it."
Here's some more.
"a prisoner of war is somebody who tries to kill you and fails. Then you kill him." -
"hurry up and wait" is another quote

That is the truth lol! And that comment about ppl having phones if they were a combat support mos nope not true. Went to basic in 98 at Fort Jackson and we didn't get to have phones or any personal items. We had to earn the the right to use a pay phone and I don't think that was till week 4 or 5. We didn't have time-out cardsGRANE wrote:

Yeah yeah relaxin jackson lol..... Maybe because it was co-Ed basic. I did hand to hand against guys that was fun. I had a shitty chick battle buddy who couldn't pull her own weight and I had to carry her gear in road marches. She ended up getting the boot but made me stronger. We made it rain in the b's and I'm sure did all the same stuff anyone else did ---- so not that relaxin lol!

I goto benning for BT then for AIT i goto oklahoma. 5300 bonus and im gunna go in as E-3 but i still have to finish my senior year of highskool.

I was talking about cell phones. And this is recent.
When I went it was the same like with Mel T, no pay phone privledges till after week 4 or 5. My battle was cool, she could her own well. I miss those obstacle courses and trying jump over those walls. It was funny cuz I'm only 5 ft 1in so the taller walls I needed help to climb but the road marches I held my own. 💪 lol
The card thing and cell phone thing I've been talking about is NEW. It started ABOUT 2 yrs ago. That's what I was told by some new guys that went in around that time. That's why I said maybe it was implemented and maybe withdrawn soon after. (the card) -
The cell phones are true. One of my friends just went 82nd field arty and he got his phone on weekends after week 4 of basic. This was in April May June of 2010. The time out cards are the only thing I said was a myth because I have never seen them or heard of anyone I actually having them.

That would've been useful about a year ago.

Whatever. We might not have had those luxuries but most of us weren't getting our nuts shot either.

Canadian military tried the stress cards 2 years before I got to basic. They were shit canned after like one or two classes. We still joke about holding up our "red cards"...no one ever admits to being in basic during the "red card days". Basically if you thought they needed to be "nicer" to you, you held up a yellow card. If you wanted them to "just stop!! 😿" you held up your red card and the instructor had to take a time out...lol. Wonder why it got shit canned?Spectre wrote:
