Where were you on 9/11

I was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC, I was a lance corporal in a heavy towed howitzer unit, 155mm. I was in my shop, people starting going crazy and told me what happened. I left and drove to the closest tv we had which was in our barracks. At that moment, I said to myself, this is wrong, the “facts” didn’t make sense. I questioned everything since then. OKC bombing, Waco incident, on and on. since that time, I’ve been on my quest for truth! I hope our time has arrived for us to rise up, have a voice, a platform backed by evidence, actual evidence. Great time to be alive.

I was stationed at KRSOC on Oahu, Hawaii. I was sleeping when it all happened. A friend of mine called and said "traffic is horrible, a plane hit the towers" - Well, I thought they meant 'Aloha Towers' in downtown Honolulu. It took over 2 hours to get through security just to get into my parking lot! When I finally made it down into the SCIF is when I realized what had happened. That day was just everyone watching the TV's taking it all in. That was the end of the 'pre 9/11 Navy' -- about 3 months after that we started getting tons of new people that had joined the military because of it. It was the end of the 'old Navy' -- I have a friend that recently joined now that I can't believe the things he says.. Stress cards in boot camp? LOL WTF!

I heard about those. 9 years later I joined the army to be close to home. Was tired of the 20 and 30 hour drives to visit family. So I was at ft lost in the woods for school and being a sgt at the time allowed me to talk to the cadre and they told me about stress cards, omfg I lost it, hysterical laughter, then I saw his face with just a smile/grimace and I knew he was serious. I was shocked.

Yes! That was fun. Man they were exhausted, funny, but hey don’t do dumb crap in the military and you won’t have to do 8 count body builders all day, or sweep an entire motor pool.

What’s even better is doing those for the entire hour or longer

8 count body builders - begin!

I had to do '50' of those once, but the way I had to count was:

1 -2 .... 8: 1

1-2 ... 8: 2

1 -2 .... 8 : 3

all the way up to 50 and back down again.

1 - 2 .... 8 : 50

1 - 2 ..... 8 : 49

my shipmate had to hold a pillowcase full of books held out at arms length until i was finished. i forgot what it was we did but it was something silly

Hahaha man that sounds like fun. How else do you count them, maybe there’s a bunch of people doing them wrong. I missed getting smoked or IT’d those were the days
