yeah I guess the crap parts are to be expected atleast there outweighed by the good times though, Im guessing things got alot easier after week 6? I was told the corporals take those 6 weeks to get the people that dont want to be there out of the way so they can focus on those that do. Yeah the fir...

how've you been finding the training so far? is it what you expected from what you were told before you got there? have many people opted out of your platoon? thought i'd give you a few to answer since nobodies asked anything.
