Somebody screwed up then.When the draft ended, and the Army went to all volunteer in 1974, what was called Basic Combat Infantry Training when I was in simply became Basic Training and got soft.
When basic became co-ed it got really soft.
My Drill Sergeants in D-3-1 at Fort Gordon in 1968 would probably be court martialed and receive a General Discharge in 2024.
They forgot to tell my Drill Sergeants they was supposed to go soft on us.
Dang the luck.
By the way I wasn't easy on my troops either.
I didn't get the memo.
