Same here. I went through basic in 1965. OCS in 1967. Most of today’s snowflakes would have melted in the basic I went through...and most were draftees.

Yeah, piss-pour parenting and the NEA in the public schools have ill-prepared the youth for the reality of adult life.

What the NEA and public schools have prepared for the rest of the world is “lunch”.

Back in your day, and mine, the high school teachers respected the military and respected us for serving. I remember guys coming home from basic training and stopping by school. They were treated like heroes. Later on I came home from boot camp dropped by.

The difference is back then most of the mem teachers, and a few women, were WWII vets. Today they all hate the military.
