    That sure is a tidy looking base. Did your recruits have to spend any of their time doing a base clean-up?
    When I was in boot camp we spent Friday afternoons having to do a base clean-up.

    That base is new. I couldn't find a pic of the one I was at. No...they did not.

    Let me explain about the tidiness. Any recruit caught littering would be harshly punished, up to, and possibly including, being set back a week.

    Half of my lifetime ago was Wednesday, the 14th of November 2007.  I was a freshman in high school but I don’t remember exactly what I was doing on that day.  Wednesdays usually aren’t that memorable.  I’m pretty sure I annoyed at least one of my teachers on that day.

    Working 24/7 for some a**hole that never paid me a living wage. It's interesting to note that this a**hole sold drug paraphernalia and "other things" and I would then steal some of the proceeds every day. GOOD TIMES!!! This post was edited by Zack at February 23, 2022 8:16 PM MST

  • I'm 11797 days old. Half of my lifetime ago was either 30 December 2005 or 31 December 2005. It was during summer break between Year 4 and Year 5 of high school. I might have gone to a party on 31 December 2005.
