Well, Goodbye All, I Will See You In 18 Weeks!

dizzy · 08-30-2002, 03:03 PM

The time draws near! At 5:45 A.M this Tuesday, I leave for Basic Training and AIT! I know Tuesday is still a few days off, but I am going to be busy the next few days and only able to post a small amount. I am looking forward to my training as if it were Christmas. I have also decided to join the Army full time as soon as I graduate from Basic and AIT. Its just something I feel I must do. It sounds odd, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is what I am supposed to do. It has been a pleasure to be part of this Net community, and I hope I still find a place here when I return. I guess this is goodbye for now.

Hey Joshua! Wow times really gone by quickly since you first said you were joining the Army lol A little advice from a former Marine about bootcamp-

Its not like your recruiter said. Your going to get yelled at lol. Half of bootcamp is mindgames, dont be sensitive and let it get to you [img]smile.gif[/img]

When someone is getting yelled at for doing something extremely stupid ( this WILL happen lol) do not laugh, giggle,snicker,or even smile. You'll get to join them in whatever punishment is handed out.

Never ever drop your rifle, prop it so it is possible for it to fall, or lay it in the dirt unless told. Not sure about the army but to be safe always call it a rifle, NOT a gun. Your guns in your pants!

In the movie Forrest Gump the Drill Sergeant asks him "GUMP! What is your purpose in life?" He replies "To do whatever you tell me to Drill Sergeant!" Go with that philosophy lol

Tell your parents NOT to forward mail from rival services trying to recruit you. I did a lot of pushups while sweating over one letter lol. Thanks dad

They will try to piss you off. Stay calm. Dont let it get to you.

Tell everyone NOT to send cookies or "care" packages during bootcapm. You may get to eat them. Only you. All at once. Saw that happen lol

Well I hope this helps, although things may be different these days and in a different service than I was in. We've talked on msn so I know your smart, and it should be pretty easy for you [img]smile.gif[/img] Good luck and let us know how your doing when you get out of bootcamp! *salute*

Sazerac · 08-30-2002, 06:32 PM

Dang, Dizzy, we're going to miss you! You'll always have a home here, though!

Have fun in Basic Training, heh heh.

(Actually, you probably will when they're not working your arse off. I've heard people make lasting friendships there.)
