Three years out?

I know I could still place an M60 into firing position, draw range cards, fuse a claymore, conduct a successful patrol, call for fire, engage targets at 350M, (open sights), teach assembly and cleaning of an M4, conduct JM duties on aircraft or DZ, load a hard/soft duck for drop, issue weapons to G's, issue cash to assets, retrieve cashe from air drop, write a msg, reply to a msg., get my team beer, pour my CO a drink, (scotch and soda), tell a joke, write a report, shake out my ruck, write a letter to my girl, write another letter to another girl, call a friend, climb a 50' rope, run 6 miles, ruck 20 miles, run another 10 miles, ruck another 12 miles, call my mom, my sister, a buddy in the 180A course, (tell him he's an ass), call my dad. All of this in a 24 hour period.

Tell me, what Basic trainee could do that?

I'm with Dusty, shit, it's tough getting old.
