<p>Humor gets you through. The three things I looked forward to were chapel, meals, and mail. Those were the high points of my summer. ;)</p>
<p>LOTS of funny things happen in BCT. You just have to know when not to laugh about them (i.e. don't laugh in formation).</p>
<p>One of our instructors here at the P school put the number 87 on the board today and asked if anyone knew what it meant...</p>
<p>Only 87 days left.</p>
<p>aww man. that means in 87 days i'll be done chilling on the beaches of Destin and hanging around Eglin. at least i'll get to meet some of you in 87 days ;) haha</p>
<p>I am sure my guys never once noticed the WEATHER on I-Day.</p>

<p>Ditto, but with Tyndall, not Eglin. :)</p>
<p>Random question about the Security Clearance stuff we're bringing to I-Day... When it asks for relatives and associates, are we required to put relatives that are not US born or do not have US citizenship?</p>
<p>Keep your sense of humor (to yourself and your classmates). I would not recommend sharing it with your friendly neighborhood cadre!</p>
<p>And another piece of advice. Stick up for and support your classmates. I remember the "cooperate and graduate" motto well.</p>
<p>And here I always thought it was "collaborate to graduate".</p>
<p>and make sure your parents send you lots of candies (skittles and gummy bears are preffered) to you during basic. don't send cookies, cause then we're unsure if they're something else in there... lol</p>
<p>:p</p>
<p>nah, cuz then you just make the kid to whom it was addressed eat one, and then you can eat the rest. :D
veeeeery clever, no?</p>
<p>I know someone who makes some extremely delicious cake balls... Would those work? ;)</p>
<p>sounds good to me.</p>
<p>problem with that missmuff is maybe there's not enough in just one to cause the problem, or maybe they've developed an immunity like in Princess Bride. then where would that leave you?!?</p>
<p>but sure, i'd take cake balls. or brownies with chocolate chips in them. those are the greatest</p>
<p>oh right...i forgot you don't need self control with your blazing fast metabolism :P</p>
<p>and i hadn't thought of immunity like in the princess bride. good call! lol</p>
<p>We had a briefing from the 2013 BCT commander today and I think this quote will live in infamy:
Preppie: "How soon will the beatings start?"
C2C Wills: "There won't be any beatings. All of our training will have a purpose."</p>
<p>Physical fitness is a purpose...</p>
<p>purpose: push you to your physical extreme to test teamwork and your ability to think and perform under pressure and stress.</p>
<p>covers it all. lol</p>
<p>And yet the collective mind of the prep school interpreted it completely different. The funniest interpretation was that if anyone says it is time for a beating that cadet Wills should be hit for honor. Realistically though we know that he was just trying to place the focus that BCT is about training, not beatings.</p>
<p>Personally I just found it funny that only one non-prior guy asked a question and it was without a doubt the ONLY truly dumb question.</p>
<p>lol the P.hahah</p>
<p>I swear bmt was harder last year.. we had TI's and everything. What the heck happened?</p>
<p>No idea! We had bed time stories, snacks, and we watched movies. AND SOME PEOPLE STILL COULDN’T HACK IT!!!</p>
