Checking in from Sand Hill...
On my first pass, will qualify with my rifle on Friday. I'm in Bravo Co. 2-58 1st Platoon. I've been having fun the whole time. Drill Sergeants have a great sense of humor.
I don't mind having dumb people in my platoon because we get so much more PT.
I cut 1:30 off my 2 mile in 3 weeks. My pushups got much weaker from 30th AG to here; though probably from doing 2000 bear crawls up hills.
"Oh Private, you didn't want to shave this morning? Not a problem. I got something for ya."
It's also amazing how about 2/3 of 18X's I talked to even BEFORE we got here already wanted to drop their contract. Most of the Drill Sergeats here say "Out of this whole company, only 4 of you will make it."
To all future shippers:
OSUT is enjoyable if you keep a positive attitude. Stupid people will always be stupid and cutting them down or trying to start fights solves nothing. Give them a helping hand when you can, and give your 100% at all times, even when being smoked for what seems like no reason at all.
I only wish I had time to catch up on this board. I'll check back in when I can.
