<p>I think he outprocessed. Someone slapped a Form 34 on him.</p>
<p>RIP Basic Bucket. (Salutes...taps plays)</p>
<p>lmao. We had C/Capt Rocky, aka a dressed up rock at the entrance to Barbarians camp. Also fun to do. I like Basic Bucket though! :)</p>
<p>Oh we had rocks, too. If our BDU pockets were ever unbuttoned, our cadre would give us some heavy rocks to put into our pockets.</p>
<p>Or if you were in Hellcats, you may remember the cadre made us greet the "couch" we made for them out of sandbags as "Sammy Sofa."</p>
<p>We had "C/LtGen Couch" over in Demons.</p>
<p>Yeah Demons. C/Lt General Screaming Demons Couch, Sir.</p>
<p>Ok, I have one.</p>
<p>During basic one time, one of the guys in my flight was in the bathroom talking to his buddy and said something (I really don't know what) about girls being dumb about something that had happened...anyways, what happened was that our cadre overheard (since we weren't supposed to be talking to begin with) and decided to make an example out of it.</p>
<p>So a couple days later we were visited by all the highest-ranking female cadets at the Academy, including the summer wing commander (apparently there actually is one during the summer). They gave us this huge long speech about respect and consideration and what rumors or bad-talk could do to people, especially in the operational Air Force, and how we should respect women, etc.</p>
<p>The wing commander then goes up to a guy in my flight and asks him, "Why did you come to the Academy?" </p>
<p>He immediately reported in, VERY loudly: "SIRRRR!!!!....." </p>
<p>He didn't get any farther than that.</p>
<p>That's interesting, I wonder if the 2nd and 3rd summer session wing comms are different? I know that when we marched down to Jack's that the Wing Comm was Papp, yet another firstie from my squad.</p>

<p>I filled in Gramm's name - who was the wing comm for the fall semester?</p>
<p>This last fall semester? C/Col Hunter Grunden, CS-08. I added it in.</p>
<p>While low crawling on the assault course, one of my squad mates had dirty under wear form the day before fall out of his pant legs. He had to carry it around for a while on a stick.</p>
<p>One time during a lightening warning on the terrazo (happen all the time), our cadre made one of the basics in my flight riase his hand as we amrched and repeat "I risk my life so others may live".</p>
<p>One girl in my flight got pink eye during 1st BCT (we had one more in 2nd) and the cadre made her march at least 10 feet behind the rest of the flight and shout "Red alert! Red alert! Whoooooop! Whooooooop! I have pink eye! I have pink eye! Red alert!"</p>
<p>you also have to love when cadre try to teach you "dress right dress", and they lift the wrong arm and look the wrong way. What they say afterwards is even funnier</p>
<p>I bumped this because reading these things really does lighten my spirits about the Academy :)</p>
<p>One day during BCT-2 on the assault course my S was paired with another Basic who kept requesting permission from the cadre to adjust his pants. The cadre kept refusing to grant it until. . . the Basic was doing his "high knees" with his pants around his ankles. S said it was one of the funniest things he saw during BCT.
S also had trouble maintaining a straight face when he heard "fire in the hole" and a peanut butter "bomb" came flying over his shoulder and landed on the cadre's plate right across the table from him. (Cadre was not too happy!!)</p>
<p>hahaha... i do recall a day visit with a certain redhead who was told to try this... and.. it didn't work too well; she was left with a bruised forehead :) isnt that right? ;)</p>
<p>haha. Yeah, one guy in my basic flight did a "Fire in the hole!" with peanut butter. The peanut butter landed behind the loadmaster's chair two tables down.</p>
<p>Looking back at some of the previous discussions, we also greeted a "couch" made from sandbags during Jack's. Only problem was that the Cadre had several different names for it that they would change it to at random (including Stooey Griffin), so we never knew what to call it. We also called it "Sammy the Sofa" a few times.</p>
<p>So...is anyone else back yet? </p>
<p>a certain redhead...hmmm, I wonder who that could be... ;)</p>
<p>hahaha ;) that was hilarious</p>
<p>Are you serious? There's some redhead girl at the Academy who can't do the peanut butter smacking thing? Wow, that is just shameful. :)</p>
<p>And I did not get a bruised forehead. See, I'm not hardheaded and stubborn like most people at the Academy. That's why it doesn't work. hahahaha</p>
