I would have to find a way to resurrect my platoon Sergeant, SFC Aubrey Smith,from back in 1965 I personally can guarantee Basic Training would more effective,he turned a mob of sixties punks into soldiers and just to make sure we got it he went to Vietnam with us,a true professional ,certainly not a good answer to your post but a way to show how one certain individual can change your life in the Military.

I would make it more difficult. It felt like a vacation. I was definitely more fit by the end, but the stress factor wasn't there like I think it should have been. Reception was the most stressful place.

SN Greg Wright - I noticed that as well. RP is good about fixing these kinds of problems. They don't make it public what happened but you know that something happened.

SSG (Join to see) - Yep, they are good at it. None of his 4 iterations lasted more than a day after admins started in on it. Which is made more impressive by the fact that they have to be very careful that they're not banning someone legit.
