we didn't need help with that lol. We were called "the dumbest, most immature and destructive platoon I have ever seen" by our company commander, our sergents hated us for it the first couple of months because of all the crap they had to take from the other platoons' sergents but after a while they realized as much as we usually sucked, come game time and we were the toughest and meanest soldiers they had ever seen as well. We were always victorious in any kind of competition with the other platoons and were always highly praised for our combat skills by whoever were evaluating us. They also admitted afterwards that they were generally amused by our constant shenanigans, and I was personally quite liked because I used to bribe them with candy to get smoke breaks.
I miss basic training.
You either went in much earlier or much later than me.
In 1997 we did not smoke, period. No tobacco on the base. If you ever got a package from home you had to open it in front of an inspector. He only let you keep non-contraband.
