merry xmas from bootcamp

[jmontis]

whats up guys, i'm in my last week of training here in bootcamp for the Coast Guard. I haven't posted in 2 months, and i can't wait to go home for leave. How's everyone doing in the poker world? I've been dying to play again. I meant to write a few people but I lost my address book on the way to NJ, so that sucked.

anyway, just thought I'd drop a line before I graduate bootcamp. I'll be posting more in a week or 2, so expect to see me around a little more then. good luck everyone

jmontis!!! long time no see buddy. I hope everythings going good with the coast guard and all... shitty you couldnt be home for the holidays. Its good to hear youll be around a lil more soon though. GL with finishing bootcamp and stuff, dont go all.

P.S. do you have a full metal jacket drill sergent?

Private Pyle I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!

You had best unfuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

[boost]

God has a hard-on for marines because we kill everything we see!

Who said that? Who the fuck said that? Who's the slimy little communist shit, twinkle-toed cocksucker down here who just signed his own death warrant? Nobody, huh? The fairy fucking godmother said it. Out-fucking-standing. I will PT you all until you fucking die. I'll PT you until your assholes are sucking buttermilk.

Damn, you guys get computers in your boot camp? And they said the Air Force basic was weak.
Congrats on your accomplishment. I know how much that few weeks can feel like a year. But some of the funniest things I ever saw in my life occurred in basic training. Like when a guy busted a vein in his nutsack and it looked like he had his period all over his PT uniform. Or when my drill sergeant made a dude wear tighty whiteys on his face for screwing up a quarters inspections.

jmontis probably has no idea who i am, but i think he should know that i am a huge fan of him, his posts, and his one-entry-blog SO nice to see a post, can't wait to see more, and congrats on your near graduation!

heh, i like the full metal jacket replies, but our company commanders weren't that crazy. It makes me want to rent that movie when I get home.

I'm sitting in the Philidelphia airport waiting on my flight home, so I'll try to tell a few stories for you guys. From what I've heard, Coast Guard bootcamp is rated 2nd toughest as far as bootcamps go, behind the Marines of course. The first 4 weeks were real hard, but it got progressively easier as it got closer to graduation. A guy I came with from TX said it was going to be easy, then by week 3, he was on suicide watch(being watched closely because he said he was going to kill himself).. he was sent home for depression soon after. I saw an ex marine in my company who spent time in Iraq, break down in tears one night while we were about to go to sleep, and that kind of made me realize just how much we were going through at the time.

They didn't make us do 200 push ups a day, but we did get lots of sleep deprevation and just all kinds of crazy drills at random times. Since the Coast Guard is a life saving service, they focus on mental stress and sleep deprevation, and not running 2 miles a day or doing a ton of physical training.

Anyway, it's tough to put it all in a few paragraphs, but i'll be around more as of tomorrow. My flight boards in a few minutes, so i'll catch up with you all later on tonight or tomorrow, peace
