    I don't really care enough to research where the FB post originated. This looks like she left her FB account open and one of her friends (male most likely) thought it would be fun to post this and sit back to watch the shit storm.

    If not, I truly pity this person.

    Maybe not the wisest move on DS #2's part, but one of the funniest I've ever seen. A recruit muzzle swept DS #1 from his foxhole position and DS #2 on the other side kicked him in the back of the steel pot. Broke his nose and taught him a life's lesson.

    Not sure- We didn't have them when I was going through- but we did get an FTX cancelled on us due to "the worst ice storm Ft. Leonardwood had seen in 15 years." But when I was in AIT I was held over for 3 weeks before our classes began and some of the people in my class from Ft. [Relaxin'] Jackson said that they were issued "stress cards." I thought it was ridiculous pussy shit.

    Nope, seems legit for DS #2 to do that... They warned us of just that when we were starting Basic Rifle Marksmanship... One even said "Privates, I will dent the shit out of your K-POD if you make any safety violations on my range... got me?" He was awesome!

    I heard about it a while back, maybe because at Jackson it's co-ed? We didn't have any of that stuff at Knox, that's for sure.

    I remember hearing about stress cards being issued for Navy recruits (in 1989? 1990?) but I don't think it lasted long.

    I have soldiers that went through about 1-1/2 years ago and they admitted having them. There are times when some of old guys in the shop get on them pretty bad and two of them are members here.

    I know one of them would like his stress card to deal with the older guys since most of us came in between 80-86. I still remember one DI that loved to throw rocks at our steel pots.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Stress cards?

    We were across from the USADSS barracks in Ft Jackson. Talk about stress.

    I went through back in '02, on the first day (shark attack) I made the mistake of laughing at a drill sergeant because he was 4 foot nothing and kept jumping up and down to yell at me and reach eye contact.....I kept my nose clean after that.
