Just don‘t do anything stupid.
Like take a picture of your sect marking time as a punsishment in the barracks.

You should keep your camera hidden ( dont go up and ask your MCpl for a pic ). Funny story...On inspection our MBdr found a camera in someones buttpouch, and went on posing some of us in different positions ( like arm straight out, leg up ), while using dudes film to take pictures of it all. Funny....only ‘cuz he didn‘t do **** all to me and I got to watch it all...

I dunno; the 3rd picture there (me with the pointer vest) was during our 15k web march; I asked my Platoon Warrent to take it, and he was pretty cool with it. I thought it turned out quite well; quite a symbollic pic, cause that‘s what the reserves always seems like: a road down which to march.

As for the Peace symbol, being a fan of Full Metal Jacket, and being all crazy gunhoe towards the army back then, I thought I‘d take that picture for all the hippy chicks in my High school who thought I had become possessed by Satan to join the army. I had one on my face, but my Section Cmdr jacked me up for it... noone ever saw the one on my hand, though, since it rubbed off a bit later.

I encourage photography while training etc..., I look back at my career and shoot myself for not taking more. These are memorable times you new people are entering. Photos help remember them.

 

[Thaedes]

What kind of camera‘s do you guys recommend bringing? Digital? standard film ? Etc? I hope to purchase a camera for when I go on basic (is that allowed? and as a side note, are electric toothbrushses allowed?)

Thanks beforehand.

Bring a camera you‘re not afriad of losing or getting trashed. I‘ve got a really cheap 35mm camera I use. Sure some pictures don‘t turn out, but I also don‘t have to worry about it getting wet, muddy, smashed, lost, etc, etc, etc.

 

[D-n-A]

I‘m probly gonna buy one of those disposable cameras

I dont wanna take my digi cam, for the reasons Korus posted aboce

 

[Fader]

You can find a nice Olympus weather proof 35mm camera for about $100. They‘re pretty small, so it‘s easy to find places where it won‘t get smashed in the shacks/the field, etc. That‘s actually what I did for my 3‘s.

I want too know the thing about the electric toothbrushes also

If not I can always buy another toothbrush

I have asuggestionabout taking pictures, Dont take ones until you tink about what your taking. Although the first time a Lav3 passes you on the road dont go all crazy and take billions of pictures of it.
Cuz then i realized that their everywehere and i got sick of them. And threw out most of the pictures.

he he he an dont you a flash during the night when your in defensive. It makes Mcpls very very very angry for some reason

 

[311]

I got two cheap disposible cameras....one for inside w/flash other outdoor....main thing is I don‘t care if I lose ‘em or more likely damage them.

Electric Toothbrush? geeezz.. what is the world comming to. Go ahead and bring it on your course, but it would be a good idea to bring a regular cheap toothbrush to put out for inspections.
