Later in a few years, they all went to Vietnam to look for Charlie.
Damn I must have missed something at boot camp, I don't remember Sergeants playing guitars and singing to us. Oh the Drill Sergeants sang to us alright, but not like that. (get down and knock out 25 LOL)
I donât recall that either, 1970 was a wee bit different
...yep, 1980, don't recall the DI's playing guitars and singing, remember they did yell a lot....don't remember them being that nice during inspections either, you speak out of turn, you'd be on the ground doing push ups and your wall locker contents would be thrown out the window, lol....if you were lucky....
@@robertswartz806 now thatâs funny, 1970 was a wee bit different too
What do you expect from a PR film?
Growth doesnât happen in your comfort zone.
This must be a different Army, being serenated by Seargeants, no haircuts, requesting weekends offâŠ.
Oh, those long-haired basic trainees! Obviously dodged the head shaving part of basic everyone else had to go through. Must have been Hippy Company. And all that lounging around on their bunks. Must have been a kinder, gentler military. Did the DIs give them messages before they tucked the gentlemen into bed?
Ike's army!
Weekend passes? Shoulder patches? Class b uniforms for regular wear? Man Army basic training was different compared to now.
I was at Ft Knox basic in 58
I enlisted in the Navy. We were not allowed to lay on our racks in our uniform.
Gen. Omar Bradley brought me đșđž
Gosh, this is what our current president missed out on having graduated from high school in 1961 and by golly his opponent missed out on the Basic training for the new army. Ahh, those were the days, real chipped beef on toast, not the discount hamburger in cream on toast.
Well back to harassing the neighbor kids by slamming the metal garbage can lid on the garbage can, damn, they are hard to find these days, and the handles are not as well made.
FIRST!!!!! đ
So cute that you think anybody gives a fuck anymore.
This was back when men were men ... wemen were wemen and soldiers were soldiers unlike today
