luiAv8er Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 We went to reception right after you guys. First Sargeant was like "I don't like graffiti, please don't be like alpha company." Seriously? That is seriously embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Seriously? That is seriously embarrassing.I wouldn't think too much into it. Everyone wants to make an example out of everyone else. We aren't perfect, but have somehow managed to avoid sleeping out in the CTA.

luiAv8er Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 How is BCT at Jackson been going for you all? Tough, not tough? Well if you have a company like mine you get lots of extra exercise. It is a challenge and it can very frustrating. You can do give it 110% but your battle buddies give it 10% you all get dropped. Just be where you're supposed to be, when your supposed to be, wearing what your supposed to be wearing and accept your punishment and it should go okay.

Tesla Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 How is BCT at Jackson been going for you all? Tough, not tough?Not as tough as I was expecting. PT is a joke and we don't run nearly enough as we should. My drill Sargeants aren't even that mean. Nobody has been shark attacked after seven weeks. They are primarily focused on teaching us, which is a good thing, but there is the occasional "corrective training." Usually we just get told we are a horrible company. I was hoping that coming in December would mean slightly more mature people and not kids just out of high school. (The irony) I was wrong. Also, apparently there are like 10 warrants in D co. From what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrhoads17 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I've read that BCT after October has been tailored for a "peacetime Army." So in other words, it's not as tough lol I think it also depends what company your in, at least that's what I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on your Company. Some make strong soldiers, some make smart soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luiAv8er Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 5 minute call home after phase testing for our company. That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baybay87 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Same here. We were allowed a 2 minute call home on thanksgiving, but the wait was so long for a pay phone a lot didn't even try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockTrader Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Honestly, I don't think basic is preparing us here well enough for WOCS.You'll be fine. I felt the same way coming outta Sill. As we all said, just color between the lines for 7 weeks. It feels like it goes quicker than basic because you'll have a little more freedom.

Luofynerd Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Basic is a joke, has been for years. It's just to get you used to bullshit before you get to your unit so you don't go ape sh*t crazy and shoot up the place when your sergeant yells at you in front of everyone. Mental toughness is the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
