What if they give an order that's confusing? Or you interpret it the wrong way?

airforce5 said:I am in week 6 when we go back to St. Jean. WE have been off for almost 3 weeks on leave for xmas...I am scared about getting back into it cause i really hope my platoon worked there butts off on this break...Basic is the best experince of my life. I have made some great friends and you will learn more during this experience then you ever hoped for.....waking up at 5am is easy once you get the hang of it. We did our first aid before we left...it was long but we all made it thru. WE lost about 16 ppl our first week to either Rft or they Vr's....but when u are in the lower weeks you get some great ppl that join ur platoon and make your FAMILY complete. I find that you have to be opened minded and take things as they come.

Going on week 7 here, just received our C7A2, and started weapons cell. I have to say honestly for all the FNGs (theres close to 6-8 new platoons, most IAP) that week 1-5 for the regular recruit course "RXXXXX" sucks balls. After you're salute test, you receive your "popcorn" and can go on the 2nd floor to the CANEX and Bistro on the weekends. Depends if you get CB'd or not as well. The Bistro is the recruit's club/bar/rec room. Has computers, pool tables, arcade games, air hockey, movie theaters etc. It's a great place to mingle with other platoons and strenghten morale. Honestly, the course "sucks" but it is what you make of it. Even the staff say that, if you want a good course, listen to us and do what we tell you (or not sometimes, they'll try and trick you) and you'll have a fun course. The PT isn't that bad, and you'll learn to love drill, or at least like it.
So everyone on course or about to head out here to St. Jean have fun and enjoy BMQ!
