What can you do or say at Basic to ensure additional smoke sessions?

am one of the few that took medical basic back in the 40 at Ft Sam Huston, and after eight weeks we were on our way overseas, no AIT,

In Marine boot camp, it was the guys who showed up already sporting USMC tatoos!!!

Tell him, More PT Drill Sergeant! I graduated From Fort Knox, A 10/5 1972!

Smoke sessions in my day (Late 75) weren't all that rare. They weren't exactly frequent either. As long as we didn't foul up and draw hostile attention to the company our CC was pretty decent. The only time the hammer came down was when an inspecting officer found a pair of worn skivvy shorts inside the company yeoman's clipboard box. I presume one and all can visualize the result...….

Ha! Barracks inspection. DI looking into my locker and making up reasons to nail me. I recalled something my recruiter told me, “it’s all a mind game in the barracks. “ I chuckled. Bad move. Was picking my ass up from the floor.

Doing the opposite of what your DS says.

How can you smoke and still run all those miles?

have the last name Flanders and when they roast you during mail call say " oakalie doakalie muther fuckin drill Sargent"
or have a brother in the marines mail you a care package addressed to drill Sargent Flanders when your in basic and a pfc
or have your mother write a letter to your drill sgt stating that she has not recieved any letters or calls from you amd she is writing them to see if i am doing ok
i could go on benning in july sucked ass and we got smoked for everything oh the summer of 99'

Wear cold weather gear in Georgia in June. The DSs will make sure you're never cold again.

I remember when I was at Fort Benning I was in line at the chow hall at the position of prayed rest, when I got up to the cook to receive my food I said hook it up bro, and the drill sergeant heard me I’ll never forget. I had to yell hook it up bro outside as loud as I could until my voice was completely out at the same time doing the eight count push up.
