I recall the term for being sent back in training was being
"asswalled"
or "azwalled" or something like that. It was my biggest
fear and it
usually happened because you got sick or injured. I
remember doing PT
sessions while running a high fever and being sick as a dog
but I
refused to go to sick bay in fear of having to "go back" in
any of the
training. All I wanted was out of there.

That's all any of us wanted. I was in basic with a NYC
transit cop
who took the final PT exam while he was sick. He collapsed
unconcious
after completing the mile run and we never saw him again.

1965, Air Force was not physically as hard. We only lost one
guy, and he
got a medical discharge. Doing push ups he got a shoulder
separation. He
had them before, and the pre induction physical should have
caught the
defect he was ttold, we marched. And marched. And marched
some more.
Besides running, and running and running and jumping jacks
while a cyborg
led us. Had to be a cyborg , as he never tired.

When I went through boot camp the various companies competed for
"flags". Our company commander was intent on winning the
athletic flag
so we did a lot of PT drills, usually first thing in the
morning and
after dinner at night. Still didn't work. Some other company
won the flag.

We could test out of a lot of the "off schedule" PT.
If you could do the 25 pushups, 30 situps and 10 pull ups, you
did not
need to go to the fat body sessions.
They doubled that before we graduated
We still did plenty in the course of a normal day tho.
Most of it was more along the lines of "cardio" than strength
training. They said it was just to get our blood going after a
couple
hours in class.

Somebody (I suspect my dad was right in the middle of it but
being almost
10 years older than other recruits they all looked up to him)
took the
guts out of the officers gasmask before bivwack. They got tear
gassed
that night, my dad still roared with laughter telling the story
of the
sarge flying out of camp with no mask driving a jeep....:0

Anyway, nobody tattled so they ended up digging and filling holes
till
someone gave up. They never gave him up and they dug holes from
what I
can tell for probably a week and a half until the officers
decided it
wasn't productive....

Why would someone look up to an idiot like your dad? **** like
that is
asking for penalties!

**** you you silver spoon piece of ****..

**** you you stupid ass. Your dad was an idiot to do crap like that.
Apple did not fall far. And I earned my money, did not inherit silver
spoon.

Sorry dude, you brag about it too much to have worked for it
yourself....
maybe you got it off the backs of others like harry, lord knows you
troll
from deeper under a desk than he.

I worked my way through college. You were to lazy to try.

Wow, you are pulling a harry, you don't have any idea about my younger
years, but you are arrogant, already went over that...
And I am
comfortable. Worked hard in the computer design world. You lazed
around.
Dip****!

I don't recall saying you were too lazy for college. Too stupid, surely.

****, most with effort can get a degree. Maybe not a science degree, but
some liberal arts major.

You are clueless as to what comprises the liberal arts.

You appear clueless. Some of the liberal arts degrees are a joke!
