What do you remember about your initial training? (Basic training, boot camp, what ever you want to call it)
Being warned by the TI's that they hate PA's. (Profiency Advancee's. 2years or more of AFJROTC meant I can get out of Basic in 12days.
TI and his assistant getting into an arguement outside the barrack and hearing the TI say "Count the bumps, son!". The Arguement ended after that.
One guy coming into the shower with a Woody.
Having to catch 3 people that passed out because they locked their kness in formation.
One guy kept messing up so infront of everyone the TI told him, "You've got one foot out the door and the other foot on a banana peel, son!". About an hour later I pissed everyone off because I told them they needto think before they do anything.
After 4 people got bold/ticked and threatened to report me I said For what? You guys think that I would be bothered if I had to stay here the full 6 weeks? I had an ROTC instructor that was a TI for 9 years. I feel like I'm back in HS school again. Listen here guys. Some of the stuff that we have been doing like making our beds and folding our clothes are what we do at home but just stepped up a little bit. This is only a mind game. The military wants/needs people that can perform and especially under pressure. If you let the yelling get to you, you will likely make a mistake. Yes you have to move faster but don't move too fast that you loose your efficiency and accuracy in what you do. I'm telling you guys, just think before you act." And with that said, I didn't see anyone get recycled, but I was only there for another 8-9 days.
