Topic	Does military boot camp actually build character?
MabusIncarnate 09/29/19 4:28:51 PM #40:	Pepys Monster posted... Back when I went to basic training, it was all male and drill sergeants weren't politically correct. It was the real experience. Now males go to basic training with females and drill sergeants are politically correct, and it's soft. So back in the day, it was actually tough and built character. I went to basic in 2001 at Fort Sill, OK and it was one of two male-only training facilities besides Ft. Benning. The other three if I remember correctly were Knox, Jackson, and Leonard Wood that were co-ed and known for being much softer as far as training difficulty. Ft. Jackson had the reputation of being called "Relaxin' Jackson" because it was comparatively easier going and more PC than the rest. I don't know how much has changed in 18 years, but they cursed at us, insulted us, shoved us, called the heavier privates (I was one of them) fat fuck, lard ass, etc. I'd imagine it's a lot different now. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain.
