roud to say it was the only time in basic training that I had to do pushups as an individual.
Yeah, not quite my own experience.
I enlisted at 18 but broke my hand, whole different story, so reported to boot age 19. I also was a daddy. Had been on my own for a couple years working construction framing crews. Hard working, hard drinking, hard guys.
I found some of the stuff funny. Not good to chuckle in formation. I was always getting 'BLUES, you think this chit is funny?' 'weapon up! Jumping Jack's, forever, begin' one sir, two sir, three sir........ Three hundred sir, three hundred one sir,,,,,,
