Welcome back, I still remember all my drill sargents. My Grandfather remembered his until the day he dies, he did basic in 1940. It is a life changing event.

Well, congrats!! I did the same work in the navy...I think you'll find it to be a very interesting (and varied) career!

Good luck to you, and well done. :)

The motto for Army Basic is, "Follow Me!"

What is it for AF Basic, "Quit Pushin'?"

The first time the DI had us sit on the grinder, at about 1400, to "clean our weapons" since we weren't marching to suit him, and felt that HOT aspalth burning my ass, I KNEW I was in TROUBLE!

"Airman, Give me a 341!"

My heart skipped a beat when I read this. Bringing back some memories. 6 year AF veteran.

I thought that it was, "When can I call home and then go on base liberty?"
