Can a squid participate in this conversation? Army basic isn't the only one. Navy basic has changed dramatically as well. For one they don't wear boots anymore. Sunday is pretty much a day off to call home, watch tv and other bs. They have however gone from basic marksmanship with compressed air and lasers to REAL rifles. Those sissy ass stress cards are in effect as well. Several standards for battle stations have been lowered if not disappeared. I think the biggest thing that made me grin when I went through it a few years ago was the heat index. A black flag day was in the low 90's. IF THAT! Uniform of the day during black flag days......shorts and t-shirts. I'm not gonna lie to you gentlemen...I didn't go through a last hard basic. Cause there never was one.
