I have a few friends who came back from basic. they seriously said THEY WOULD GO BACK IF THEY COULD. All said that, when you are down there it sucks ass, then when you leave you wanna go back.
so what is your opinion of this?
i thought it was the craziest thing i'd ever heard |
"It was the most fun I never want to have again" is pretty much what a lot of people at my encampment said.
mine was in Panama City, FL [Tyndall] in August...for 29 days. and we didn't have air conditioning for the first 4 or so - which really are the tiest days to begin with.
so i went to bed, wet with sweat....and i woke up still soaked with humidity.
granted there were some fun things we did [obstacle course, leadership reaction courses, warrior runs], but overall, i just disliked my whole experience. but then again, i went to Field Training - not Basic Training. so what we did was a little different.
but in retrospect, if you think about it, we got 3 meals a day. got a LOT of exercise and time out doors. had places to live in. went "camping" for a few days. and we got paid for it. [granted it was less than $1 an hour...]. i was probably in some of the best shape of my life down there. |

90 days? that.
but then again, that's all you had to do to get to where you are.
i spent 4 years of ROTC, plus FT, plus 5 years of school.
ps, we did have MTIs at our encampment too - some scary to wake up to. haha |

we got a CD with all the pictures our CTA took during the time. it's kinda creepy/scary/cool [all at the same time] to go back and look at them. |

just think, it could always be worse. you could be in antartica or some really really remote location. if you think japan gets old fast....just think of seeing nothing but sand or snow for miles on end. |
