Things you can do or say at basic to ensure additional smoke sessions.
I thought this would be a good way to add some humor to the discussions list.<br><br><br>Things like...:<br><br><br>- Simply ask "Why?" for anything.<br>- "That was easy." after getting smoked<br>- Complain about the heat/cold<br>- Touch the campaign hat.

Puke on a DS's Shiny New Jump Boots, and work your way up to his new BDU's. I did this at FT Jackson, (Food Poisoning) and again at Ft Knox caught the stomach flu. Oh yeah, both puked as well. Which turned into a one giant puke fest for both platoons.

Interesting question. When I went to basic (1972) I had just quit smoking and was surprised, if not dismayed, by the way smoking was subtly promoted. "Smoke break" and everyone but the non-smokers lit up. At least 3 recruits I knew STARTED smoking during basic just so they didn't have to "waste" the smoke breaks.

I am still smoke free and think a better question would be "What can the Army do or say to discourage smoking at all?" It's a nasty, filthy habit with well known, serious health hazards. How is that good for the Army over all?

Send a musical greeting card that plays the hymn of another service. Nothing like an Army recruit opening a card only to have it play "Anchors Away"

Tell your DS, "This is easy".
It will only take once.

1. While at the rifle range I was told to get coffee for the Lt. Came back with it in my right hand & tried to salute.
2. While at boot camp in San Diego. A friend send a letter with a California Map. D.I. though I was planning to go A.W.O.L.
