Thanks for the memories, and for a reminder about packing light for BCT. I didn't see any of the recruits crying, though!

My pick up wasn't all that traumatic. Although while we were on the shipping line at Reception, I remember that bein' one of the scariest moments in my life as we waited to be picked up. A vanload of drill sgts pulled up but they were amazingly calm. They just walked around, got in our faces and looked at us but didn't really yell that much. It wasn't what I expected at all.

That video makes basic sound easy....they were still allowed to use profanity when I was there. If they video taped my pick up and bleeped it out for network TV, the audio would seem like a Jerry Springer episode. It's probably why they used a Toby Keith song instead at graduation when showing some of the clips.

Pickup at FLW wasn't bad at receptionat all but when we got the barracks after CIF........a PROC NCO would guide us into the cattle car but first we went to CIF where we would be meeting two DS's (who would then be my DS's).....and then to the barracks...then this is where all hell started....and yeah we're carrying two duffelbags...and you know how heavy they are when they're frickin full lol

Hey Harris, where do you get all these photos? Did they give you a CD at graduation or soemthing? Please don't tell me that you had the guts to run up to a DS while he was "chatting" with a Soldier and snapped a photo.

No lol I don't have the guts to snap a picture besides if I did I couldn't at all since I had two duffelbags in my hands...impossible to hold a camera.. I was one of the 1st Sgt's favorites and he would give me a picture cd of 400 pictures or so.....

787 had the nice barracks, but at 795, the other MP company, we still had the old crappy brick barracks. I remember whenever we went to the range, we'd have to drive by the "Starship" barracks and everyone would grumble about how much 787 sucked.

Wow! those trainees look amazingly calm exiting the cattle truck. I remember when we did it, it was a race of survival. All you saw were elbows. If they took a pic it would have been a blur.

How did that line go? "What the hell are you still doing on my cattle truck?!" immediately upon opening the door.
