  You forgot that dude that rats out his platoon over something to the drill sgt and gets everyone smoked including him but continues to do it anyway

  My proudest moment when i was almost done with basic in 1986. &nbsp;My drill sgt looked at me and asked/yelled if i was in his platoon. &nbsp;When i replied &quot;yes drill sgt&quot;! He just looked confused.<br><br>Invisibility status confirmed.

  I was the &quot;Ghost&quot; I didn&apos;t do anything to get attention from drill sergeants and I did everything we were told to. Eventually around mid of white phase, one of my drill sergeant asked me who I was and if I was here from the beginning, also our company commander asked the same question lol.

  When I went through AF basic back in 1984, we had a guy who was squared away right off the bat on Day 1. From his locker, his bed covers, his reporting statements, and facing movements. Everything he did was text book perfect so much so that after Day 3, &nbsp;our senior MTI had to call him into his office and ask if he was AFOSI. Turns out that the guy wasn’t but his father was. His dad had prepared and schooled him on what to do and expect.

  When I was leaving for basic, the advice that my dad gave me was, &quot;Whatever you do, DON&apos;T ROCK THE BOAT.&quot; Truer words were never spoken.

  Generally complaining all the time loses respect in ANY aspect of your life not just basic training

  Lol about asking stupid questions. One thing that terrified me in basic. Early on, probably second week, the whole company was gathered around, told to sit on the ground, so the CO could come talk to us. He gave a spiel, then asked if there were any questions. I stupidly raised my hand to ask something about mail. Immediately the drill sergeants flew into action, running into the crowd trying to find out who raised their hand. They were pissed. &nbsp;Fortunately I pulled it back quick, it was a big group and nobody ratted me out. So they didn&apos;t get me. I think there were two things at play. One, you simply did not talk to the CO. He was god. Second, it would make the drill sergeants look bad if anyone had a question that they hadn&apos;t already covered. LOL I get chills 40 years later thinking about it.

  Best rules for boot camp: (1) keep your mouth shut; (2) listen; (3) do not volunteer for anything; (4) just know that everything you do will be wrong; (5) only worry about what you have to do right now (not about what you did wrong 10 mins ago or what will happen tomorrow); (6) never go to sick call (you might get set back and have to start boot camp all over again). &nbsp;CWO4 (Cryptology), USN, 73-95.
