I realize this was supposed to be in the humorous area, but my phone connection couldn't find the humor portion. Here's my advice: discourage smoking everywhere, all the time. Basic training included.

"DS French, you cannot run." PVT Bragg, still remember his name almost 30 years later.

I did my basic at Ft. McClellan, AL for MP school, a year later my best friend went to Ft. McClellan, AL for MP school. I would write on the envelope “Can’t smoke me“ and the address was written in different color inks! My buddy hated getting letters from me the first 2 months! He advised that he and his platoon would have smoke sessions, and the Drill Sgt’s would announce you all can thank PV2 Sealy for the letter from PFC Ochmanski from Ft. Stewart! I met the whole company’s Drill Sgt at graduation, they couldn’t contain themselves in reference to the letters when they met me!

From what I remember of basic, pretty much anything I said or did was liable to result in motivational exercise.

Your not in basic training to smoke. You get smoked. You will be lucky if you get any.

Try to remove an apple from the Messhall at the Infantry Reception center. Everybody gets a bite. Smoke follows.

1st suad, dead middle of the formation so no way in hell to hide. after I figured out basic was mostly a head game , I developed the giggles. 20 days in to basic way my birthday and mom sent brownies, I got to do pushups and got some crumbs. the Stripes parade field had my handprints 3 inches deep
