I’m glad you went down there. I’m sure it was tough. I’m always reluctant to recommend Infantry to anyone who heart isn’t set on it. I tell them that they should get something with a job skill you can use. If they are dead set on Infantry I try to give them an honest assessment of the job. There is a lot of suck times as an 11B. But you make life long bros, and even if you different generations you still have a whole lot in common.

I loved my time in the Infantry but it took me years to be break a lot of those habits. I was more crude for sure and it does change your outlook at life. I still eat half my meals out of bowl. Lol

We didn’t have a fuck up in our class. So I never saw anything like the blanket party. I did see one of the fire guards flashlight come flying down the aisle and him on the ground. I was going to piss and I guess he fell asleep. They dumped him on the floor.

I’ll say a prayer, light a candle or sacrifice a goat. Which ever you prefer.
