Blackeyed Blonde

I’ve been in the Army for two months. What I’ve learned:

1. Almost all Soldiers still enjoy light saber, and/or nerf gun fights when given the chance

2. Almost all Soldiers are cynics

3. Put an E-3 Soldier in a room with an E-3 Marine unsupervised, and there will be blood

4. Almost all Soldiers enjoy making fun of Airmen

5. 11 series aren’t as big of d-bags as they like to make themselves out to be. As a 35F, 11B and 11X are some of my better buddies.

6. Learn your s***!

7. If you’re high speed, you’re trackin’

8. Lighten up Francis!

9. “Oh, shinies! Avoid shinies!”

10. Almost all NCOs are hilarious

…

11. I love my job

Is there anyone who knows anything about basic training at Fort Sill??

As someone who is shipping there in the future, yes!

Pre-Basic Privates who spell out the phonetic alphabet. Facebook example: “I’m a 92Golf heehee” No, you’re a 92G. You pronounce it as though it were 92 Golf, not type it.

*Aggresively smacks forehead on keyboard*

Apparently now I’m braggy and full of myself because I’m proud of the direction I’m headed… What happened to aspiration being a good thing?

I didn’t do so well points wise, which was to be expected since I’m pre-Basic. However, I wasn’t expecting meeting two Drill Sergeants who will be at Ft. Sill in September, the same time as I will be for BCT… One of whom scored my first ever PFT and knows my name. In the words of the Specialists: I’m “screwed”

I will say this once, and only once.

“Sweet heavenly father, please help me make it through this. If I perform better than just one person I will consider that a personal victory. I’m just asking for a little assistance.

Sincerely, I’ve been panicking about this since last Battle Assembly.”

Male sergeants and me :

Female sergeants TO me:

Like, wtf did I ever do, I JUST WALKED IN,.

Bahahaha same here! My male NCOs are super chill with me, and act like bros. My female NCOs act like they’d rather be doing anything BESIDES talk to me.

Guys: All I want is a girl with a good sense of humor, will play videogames with me, and likes to workout.

Me: I’m all of those things…

Guys: Oh, I’m sorry. I should clarify. I meant anyone except you.
