I figured out about halfway through boot camp that the purpose of boot camp was to 1. make you work as a team and 2. to attempt to make you quit.

Ummmmmm, what is with the safety glasses? I was never issued safety glasses. I was never issued sneakers and work out shorts for PT either.

Just needling him a bit. Congrats to them all!

Way better to do Basic in GA in Feb/Mar, rather than the Summer. Tell him to stick around for Jump School ~ big fun.

Be sure to obtain the Video that will be produced for the rotation.

It is so very cool to watch them all come out of the gas chamber with a few liters of snot coming out of their upper airway system.

Basic Army Training is nowadays way more challenging than when I went through it long ago.

That holding hands stuff doesn’t look like the training Jimmy Steward or my father would have had, much less my brothers and son. With the repeal of DADT and the forcing them to watch pictures of men kissing...it does make one worry. They are being forced to approve of the unnatural.

Conditioning men to get used to being touched by other men in a girly way....hmmm DADT repeal is all about normalizing homosexual behavior and changing the moral code. Tell your grandson to beware!!!! I am so glad my son got out right before zero got in.

Anyways, I still have some hope because of our military....just with the social conditioning from the Christian paradigm into a pagan paradigm has me really worried. Pagan/atheism is the paradigm of the Brownshirts and Russians and Japanese armies and I have read about the total lack of morality in those armies.

Our Christian army has been the most moral of all armies in the world. It is that paradigm—Christianity—that made it so. Without Judeo/Christian morals you have no honor and no character and no morality—the pagan/atheist paradigms have proven that to be true.

Morality makes all the difference. God Bless America.
