Get some time in kid before imparting wisdom on others !!
xenomfba said:How many years in do I need before I can tell people what basic training is like? I apologize for having very little tolerance for people who make things seem harder than they are to make themselves look tougher than they are. Basic training is a lot different now than when you went through, Aesop. You get 6-8 hours of sleep a night, three meals a day, and the field exercise is a camping trip. Instructors aren't even allowed to use "foul language" or give push-ups as punishment. The hardest part about basic is trying to stay awake during the SHARP training.
I didn't say I was a stone cold killer, but as an infanteer I am trained to kill. The CF just seems too "touchy-feely" for an organization that's supposed to be capable of war fighting. You used to be in the combat arms, in a trade that I have a lot of respect for, and I would think that you could understand.
casus belli said:now basic is not that hard, way easier then i thought it would be, the most push-ups they give you is 25, and if u can't do them u can go on ur knees. how many you do depends on the instructor and the platoon, but a good average is about 100 a day.
casus belli said:I'm on the course right now, and the no push-ups and no foul-language comment is way off.
we do push-ups in the hallways, we do pushups at the drill hall, we do pushups outside. The instructors say whatever they want. They only rule i hear them talk about is not being able to personally insult 1 recruit.
