20 days from now I leave for bootcamp. Ive been told by many vets and current members of the military branches that I should start a journal to keep track of where Ive gone and what Ive did. So, I figured Id start a blog. This way I can keep my family and friends up on what Im doing and also look back on what ive done. Obviously I cant post anything while Im in boot camp. But from then on after I will. 20 years worth of experiences coming to me. Il be working with aircraft in my career.
I have to do some reading on what I can and cannot post. But I should be able to put some good stuff up. It should be up by the end of the week.
So if any of you gentlemen or ladies are interested in it at all just let me know and I'll send you the link as soon as it is up.

Day 2: PO'ed DI, did push ups til he got tired
Day 3: PO'ed DI, did push ups til he got tired
Day 4: PO'ed DI, did push ups til he got tired
Day 5: PO'ed DI, did push ups til he got tired
............................. .........................etc, etc, etc ;)

Did it go something like this?;)
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Holy Jesus! What is that? What the **** is that? WHAT IS THAT, PRIVATE PYLE?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, a jelly doughnut, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: A jelly doughnut?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: How did it get here?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, I took it from the mess hall, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Is chow allowed in the barracks, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Are you allowed to eat jelly doughnuts, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: And why not, Private Pyle?
Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, because I'm too heavy, sir!
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Because you are a disgusting fat body, Private Pyle!

Private Pyle became a model marine, lets not forget that. But the movie had him going insane for some reason.

Actually it was more like this:
Standing in formation for weapons inspection.
"Pvt Whiting remove the bolt assembly for that rifle."
(GULP) "YES DRILL SERGEANT!!"
(Pull rear retaining pin, swing uper receiver away from lower receiver, pull charging handle, fumble with bolt assembly, drop bolt assembly into dirt, look at DI with dumb expression on my face, GULP again)
"Well pick it up Pvt Whiting!!!!"
"YES DRILL SERGEANT!!!"
(Hand bolt assembly to DI)
(DI inspects bolt assemblt for dirt, it is covered in dirt at this point)
(DI hands bolt assembly back to me)
"Put it back together Pvt Whiting."
"YES DRILL SERGEANT!!!"
(DI finishes weapons inspection on the rest of the platoon, walks back to the front of the platoon to "talk" to us)
"You people did pretty good, but since Pvt Whiting failed to properly clean his weapon you people are going to pay for his mistake. Everyone in the grass. Pvt Whiting come over here and take a seat. The rest of you...front leaning rest....MOVE!!!"
"DRILL SERGEANT...PVT WHITING REQUESTS PERMISION TO JOIN HIS PLATOON, DRILL SARGET!!!!"
"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!!!! THE REST OF YOU START PUSHING!!!"
(spend the rest of the day telling everyone in my platoon I'm sorry so I don't get killed)
About the worse day of my life in boot camp, but everyone got it at least once so not that big a deal.

I always hated that strategy, it works very well, but usually ends with "blanket parties" ;)

That's good advice.
While at basic, i wrote my Dad every couple days, when I could. He kept all those letters and saved em. A few years back I re-read em and got a good chuckle from it. Its funny to recall what your thoughts and concerns were back at ole 18!

Hard to post to a BLOG when you won't get your hands on a computer for God knows how long. ;) It is a good idea though.
Thanks in advance for your defense of our country BlueJ1.

After the first two months I'll be able to use my laptop for the 12-14 weeks in in A school. After that I will either be stationed on a base or a carrier. Carriers all have internet now. So my plan is to send a email to my best friend and he will post for me.
