Marines: You're carrying equipment, you forget it's equipment, but you're thinking of it as immense bags of rice over your shoulders. You have to run for five miles nonstop, the terrain is not all flat, you're climbing over mother nature's artifacts. All that matters is that you don't receive the consequences for showing up late at the end of the finishing line. But it was only the beginning, you have to unpack and work twice as harder.
Airforce, it's more based on feeling to some extent, where you have to listen to an academic style of mind-concious decisions. You get treated better than any of the other branches, but you still have to maintain high standards. Never ever faulter, because the second you do, you become lazy.
Bootcamp:
Pre-phase - Your recruiter makes it sound like you're at the beginning, but still talks to you like you've already passed the training, like you have the potential, but it just needs to be unleashed a bit more in the drill trainings.
Bootcamp - Shores of hell...
Aftermath - Depending on the outcome of politics, you are either in hell, or you are working your *** off. For some it's easy, for others, running into the flames isn't something most of us look forward to. So be thankful that military training exists, it's for your benefit of serving America in many ways.
P.S. I'm not lying, but if your superiors touch you or make you do stuff you don't like, they will more than likely get away with it. So don't be stupid and piss any of them off.
"SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Doctors, nurses and medical technicians feverishly rushing around, yelling for pain medication and working on patients in an environment that looks like controlled chaos, sounds like a familiar scene from a popular television drama or even the scene from a busy emergency room.
The only difference is this scene often takes place at more than 30,000 feet as medical professionals work while flying in and out of a combat zone."
