[@digszone]

Bradley Recon Vaughn why are you doing black face?

[@Wolf-mx7xx]

Good job, ladies - I went to Ft. Jackson back in 1993 and ended up doing just under 14 years. Keep it up. Focus on not only short-term goals (A.I.T. - do they still call it that?); but also what you want to be doing in 3-5 years. Best to you all!

Brianna Gil take a sports bra. And they make you buy more at the PX in reception. You can wear either or. But your bras have to be nude colors and it can’t be branded.

Hi, itspennyduh. My name is Corey, and I just subscribed to your KZbin Chanel. And I want to say Thank you for your service. I'm a Canadian citizen, but I have spoken to a few American servicemen. What's the hardest part of basic training? Is it during the 3rd week of basic training you go to the obstacle course? Any way, have a pleasant day tomorrow, and thank you again for your service. Corey Hansen.

[@itspennyduh]

Corey Hansen the hardest part of basic training was missing family and the weather. And I’m not exactly sure when we went to the obstacle course . But that sounds about right. And thank you for your support.

Hi, Penny. How are you doing these days? I'm doing ok, I've got some interesting stuff to tell, if you're interested in hearing about them. Back in the spring, in May, I was at a ceremony to honor our veterans who served in my country's armed forces, like the Canadian armed forces. And the president of my world war 2 living history attended the ceremony, and at the reception, he and our secretary surprised me at the reception with a promotion to the rank of corporal. So now, I'm Cpl Corey Hansen. And back in December, like early December they were at an army surplus store, and they came across a world war 2 era parachute. What do you think of that? Corey. Corey Hansen from Canada.

Also, women ages 17-21 need to be able to do 42 push-ups to max it right? Sorry this was super long and it's perfectly fine if you don't answer.

[@itspennyduh]

Berlin Wall shower in the beginning of red phase was like 5 min. But towards the end you had plenty of time about an hour at most. You can but they pretty much make you throw everything away. They have big shampoo bottles at the Px. You aren’t supposed to have birth control pills but I still brought mine 😂 they won’t give you any though . And 42 sounds about right .
