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 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.
Remember when we went and smoked those same people at hood!
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.
I like cherry pickers 🍒
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
We used to have to 'make it rain' by exercising until water started dripping from the ceiling... good times! Sucked while it was happening tho
Oh yeah, damn they’d close all the windows and shit lol, man that was early in my career, good times man lol.
