When I went through boot camp in 1990 if you were not of sufficient physical shape to make the cut, you were shamed out by the CC (company commanders) by them shouting and calling you names that would literally break traditional media outlets if it were to happen today.

Facts πŸ’― I went through boot camp in 1988

Which branch?

USCG I went in after my junior year of high school

One of my life long professional mentors coming out of the Navy was USCG retired. Still friends today. Lives in FL now but originally from Ohio.

I actually loved boot camp. It was savage. My CC would run us every Sunday until everyone fell out, and he’d be running backwards smoking a cigar yelling slurs at us the whole time like it was nothing.

We are who we are bc of that. It sucked, but no regrets.

I gained a lot of confidence as a young man surviving boot camp

There was no chance in hell I was letting him down or showing weakness

Ft Dix, 8️⃣8️⃣ πŸͺ–πŸ«‘πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Hell yeah πŸ™Œ

Me too, Fort Dix October 1988. Graduated December 22nd or something like that.

πŸ€™

I heard things that BOot camp basic training has changed a lot. For the better? Idk.

Better or worse is arguable.

But definitely different.

Now I guess your drill Sargent has to use your pronouns.

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ’― and that was not an exaggeration. Haha.

I had 2 black CC and thought when I got there, isht....I lucked out. Boy was I wrong.

One from Chicago and the other from boondocks Alabama. Their particular brand of hate for a New Yorkers combined was like nothing I've ever seen to that point or since.

Yall scare me. I never been due to other reasons. But I always liked you know athletic stuffs too so im into it peacefully

We cant totally rid of military like sometimes we pipe dream. Like way too many crazy folks out there. I don't have a suggestion im not the one (bitcoin fixes it, but in my lifetime? I dunno)

We don't pipe dream about getting rid of it. You know the bitcoin fixes this war memes. I mean yea would be nice but dude we need safety too.

Last part I am not expert in that area. No sir
