A girl was in a love triangle with two guys. One was married, the other had a girlfriend. One day we got our barracks raided and they found all the love letters between them. During chow the Drill Sergeants called little trio to attention and had another soldier read all the letters out loud for everyone to hear. Afterwards, they all had to call their spouse/boyfriend/girlfriends and tell them what happened.

Had one guy tear his pectoral muscle from doing push-ups incorrectly, told him several times that his form was off and he would get an injury. Worst muscle tear I’ve seen in my life.

Ouch, that hurts just thinking about it. Boot camp injuries are no joke.

In the gas chamber. Trying to say name rank and SSN with the mask off.

Military boot camp is a time that many people remember fondly, regardless of the difficulty they encountered while they were there. Some of the most common memories of boot camp include the camaraderie of the fellow recruits, the sense of accomplishment after completing a difficult challenge, and the mental and physical strength gained during the experience

Other fond memories include the pride of receiving a uniform, the pride of taking part in drills, the feeling of being part of a larger unit or organization, the sense of patriotism, and the feeling of becoming a better person.

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.
