I hated army basic training. I hated the drill instructors, the stress, the physical demands, and the nit picky stuff they made us do. Then I got to Vietnam and was grateful as can be for what I went through in basic.

I too hated all of it. I once questioned my DI's parentage and he took me behind the barracks and beat the ship out of me. The next time that I got a smart thought in my mind, I kept it there. However, there is no one that I'd rather have in my foxhole than that DI.
Everybody hated basic training. It's part of the plan. You're supposed to hate it. It sure serves well, though, in training soldiers in basic soldiering.
AMEN BROTHER!!!
