So boot camp was torture? Wow.
I'm supposed to clap again, right?

Is this your homework?
I think some advocate so called light torture on FP. Alpha probably does as does William Lawrence. I think only Alpha would relish it though.

How long they do that for?
How long they do that for?
The first 4 weeks or so. We'd be falling asleep while standing in formation.
Yeah, alpha. Alpah is the dot dot dot person. It's interesting, because they write exactly like one of the people from my old message board that I am talking about. Who is also a sadist...dot dot dot...It's weird.
BB attracted the worst of humanity. But, even on FP there were those who were totally psyched to use induced hypothermia on suspected terrorists or insugents. Astonishing. Guess what they're political persuasion was?
I saw a show on the History channel once, about how the Nazis used induced hypothermia experiments on polish and jewish prisoners. Pure evil.
I really think it is unnessarily cruel fake macho bullshit, what they do to you guys in boot camp, but, we are doing it to these prisoners to the point it is causing hallucinations. So I imagine there is some degree of difference, but I don't know how much. And I don't find it cool in boot camp either, even to a lesser degree. It's a damned good indication of how stupid the whole macho culture is. Your brain works better with 8 hours of sleep. Fact. You will be safer, if you are thinking better. Fact. Why all this other bullshit? What are we proving here? This doesn't have something to do with penis size does it? Because that is always over my head.

I think some have advocated doing this for a much longer period. Like several months. I think mental breakdown begins to occur after a while with such a regimen.

I agree, it did attract the worst of humanity. Must have been some secret signal.
You know, I read about that Cypress, but I didn't watch it. It sounded so gruesome.

Damo can explain better but from what I understand in a combat zone you don't have the luxury of 8 hours of sleep and during a battle may only get two hours of sleep per rotation if even that. The miliatry researches this kind of stuff.
Interestingly enough the military has lowered standards to let more through recently.

So where did you guys come from what is BB. Is it still up?
It is to help you learn to take orders better. Getting into such a habit can ultimately make you safer in a wartime scenario. Not often, you would be in more danger, like USCit's scenario with the Lt., but more often than not getting into such a habit would actually save you.
It's an old netscape board, before they were converted to aol and that format. It's still there, but pretty much defunct except for one really crazed spammer. Three years ago someone called his mother a whore, and to this day, he spams the board in revenge.
It's a mental case study alright. Always was.

My father has pretty much said the same when I asked him about Basic. You don't want certain types in a foxhole with you. Military life isn't for everybody. Probaly not the best thing for you Darla. Nothing wrong with that of course. But I'm glad some are suited for it.
So did you learn to take orders? I can't believe you were in the military Damo. I mean, I know usc was too, but I think he was drafted? You seem like too much of a thinker to be comfortable there.
It just so happens, I'm more fun than Damo in a foxhole, and you don't know what you are missing mister.
What do you mean? You wouldn't trust me in a foxhole? Or you don't think I can take orders?
It was why I went into Intelligence rather than a more combat capacity. There are all types in the service, including many thinkers. It isn't necessarily for everybody, but those whom I met and became friends with were among some of the best people that I have met to this day.
I wasn't a very good "military" person. But I was very good at languages...
I think you can take "orders"......
Anyway, I'm not sure there is a "military-type" personality, in order to serve. My 'bro went through officer training corps, and boot camp. And he served basically as a desk jockey. And he was a straight A student, and played chess in high school. Totally cerebral.
