My battle buddy in basic was an interesting character. After the 3rd or 4th day he was getting dropped by every DI there, of course I drop with him EVERY TIME. By the end of week two he had DI's telling him to do pushups if my buddy could see them through a window across the quad! By week three i had been ordered by the head DI that I could not drop with my buddy cause it wasnt my fault he was fucked up. Last week there, one of the last locker inspections he had a cup of coffee made up, left over mre packet, sitting in his wall locker. Our DI found this coffee and grabbed it and put it on the window sill. DI kept looking, my buddy decided to break the ice and see what he was looking for? DI "Im looking for the god damn donuts" battle buddy"Theres no donuts in there, I'm not a cop" , btw I had reserve DI's we got a new group every two weeks, DI "Do you know what I am as a civilian" Battle Buddy" Nope" DI "I'm a deputy sheriff", at which point after not dropping with my buddy for weeks I hit the ground like theres incoming fire! My battle buddy is still staring at the DI as comprehension slowly enters his brain. Minutes later he is taken outside for some intense physical correction. Locker inspection resumes minus one person. It was a bad day in boot camp.Response by SPC James Anderson made Jul 30 at 2016 5:49 PM2016-07-30T17:49:56-04:002016-07-30T17:49:56-04:00PV2 Lance Stewart1763656<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Have a Forrest Gump accent and the DS loves making you pronounce high ranking names to said officers face and doing push-ups till you say them rightResponse by PV2 Lance Stewart made Jul 30 at 2016 7:10 PM2016-07-30T19:10:33-04:002016-07-30T19:10:33-04:00PO2 Private RallyPoint Member1764270<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You yell coming Petty Officer.Response by PO2 Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 31 at 2016 1:39 AM2016-07-31T01:39:32-04:002016-07-31T01:39:32-04:00AA Jamie Griffiths4411958<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Your whole head swells up and you look like an alien but it isn't just you it's the whole company.
