Is to never have been Soldier.

Everybody thinks their class had the last "real" plebe summer/plebe year but even with more restrictions they find a way to keep it hard. My dad was '72, I am '01 and my brother is '04. We swapped a lot of stories over the years and it has not changed that much.

All indoctrination programs are laughable these days. Your enlisted bootcamp was probably much harder.

[@karlgrant9923]

ha, you too?

[@treebeardtheent2200]

@@myownspiritlevel There's two aspects of "hard" one is the learning/intensity curve which makes USMC bootcamp hard. Then there is that level of hard which only those who are both very fit and have extremely high aptitude can handle -- that's Naval Academy hard. Any of the latter would likely do well in any bootcamp, but Plebe Summer is just the start after which it does NOT necessarily get easier. If I had a choice between doing bootcamp ten times or four years at the Academy, I would choose the Academy but not because it would be the easier of the two. In my experience it wasn't. Btw, while I did only go through bootcamp once, I did graduate as platoon honor man, so my comparison is not entirely hypothetical.

[@myownspiritlevel]

@@treebeardtheent2200 There’s academically “hard,” there’s physically “hard,” and there’s mentally “hard.”The Naval Academy used to have all three. If you pick an easy major, then it only has two. If you’re in great shape and pick an easy major, then it is all easy. It is not what it was. Hell, it’s not even worth a regular commission anymore. It’s no better than NROTC or OCS, but at least those people aren’t self-deluded into thinking they’re elite hotshots. 😝

This is essentially their boot camp I suppose. I know they aren’t showing everything so I’d imagine they’re more intense off camera. So for anyone that’s in and/or has been through the Academy, once the Pleb Summer is over, you’re essentially in a student status or are you still in a boot camp style phase?
