Maybe Moonshiner will lend me his Periscope and command staff will let me Steam it! I need a soldier selfie stick camera Helmut!

This was so important you said it twice! Make sure you interrupt you instructors at least this many times every single class!
Haha, they will indeed. If Crude doesn't keep you updated on his shenanigans, I sure as shit will. Haha.
True story.
Ha. So much truth. Thank fuck I went through basic at 30. Haha.

When to I get to yell Huar! and slap my chest like a gorilla?
The car dealer was so funny. Every time you go to a dealership near a base the salesman claims to have been a First Sergeant or a Sergeant Major.
Lol, I wish this was required learning for all the military kiddies. I spent a year or so working a bouncing gig on the weekends. I could see these kids from a mile away. It almost always followed this 11 step format:
- Meet friends at bar (pile of boot camp homies)
- Drink like you went to the olympics for drinking (read hospitalizing levels of dehydration)
- See some random girl (could be anyone really)
- Mentally claim that girl as yours (but don't talk to her, you need more beer and shots first)
- Get pissed when some other guy talks to her (even though you haven't even introduced yourself to the girl yet)
- Pick a fight cause you're trained and you got this shit (while shit-faced)
- Get a mudhole stomped in your a$$ (right in front of the confused girl that is still wondering why she was "your girl")
- Get hauled out of the bar by the bouncer (usually me. also, usually laughing hysterically)
- Pick a fight with the bouncer (because he separated you from your true love)
- Get "gently" shown to the sidewalk (very "gently"... yes...)
- Talk trash for two blocks as you walk away
Yup, that's usually how it always went.

Fun! I hung out with my cousin after he graduated boot camp that's exactly how the night went for us. That and his friend could never afford beer even though they had the same salary.
@CrudeSasquatch and @Blind Owl here is another one for you.
If you get a kick out of these guys you should watch Range 15. It's a zombie movie made by these guys and a bunch of other veterans.
