Baby Boot Camp – Week Two
Now that the boot routine (no sleep, lots of yellin’) has been established, Sarge has moved us into more advanced training: Weapons. Mostly, our training revolves around Sarge throwin’ something new at us, and then we have to figure a good attack and defense plan.
Here’s some recommends and comments to any new boots who might be reading this:
T01 Hospital Issue Towel – Ah, the good ol’ T01. This is a true multi-tasker here at BBC. Good for spills, messes, coverin’ anything you don’t want messy, and general wippin’ up. Make sure you get a bunch of these from the hospital before you leave for boot.
CS11 Mini Co-sleeper – Apparently the salesman oversold this tool to QM’s office. Not an effective weapon against restless sleep and Sarge just doesn’t like it. Seriously lacking in padding. Too low to the ground to even be an effective changing platform. In my opinion (not that a recruit’s opinion means much in this man’s army) it needs to go back to the drawin board. Spend your pay on something else at the PX.
BP01 Butt Paste, Boudreaux’s Brand – Sarge gave us a prize when we figured this one out. Don’t waste your pizza money on anything else – buy Boudreaux’s. Note to Boudreaux: Buddy, I owe you one, when I get out of boot, I’ll gas up the boat and take you, Theriot, Broussard, AND Thibodeaux out rabbit huntin’. Now that’s class.
Well, that’s all for now. I gotta hit the sack for a few.
