Pvt.Thunderknees'exclamtions dont work' "Yelled Master Sgt.Barns,what makes you think your good enough for the U.S. Airbourne?'excl mar'.Sir I have wanted to be in the airborune all of my life sir'EXC MARK'.I said holding my M1 Garand up to my chest front and center.Pvt.Zooblegadget,wat makes you think you good enough for the U.S. Airbourne?'Exc Mrk'?" Yelled MSG Barns.Zooble gadet replied"Because I know I am sir'exc mrk'".We then went on a nine mile jog up the hill,we were not to drink a single drop of our water.We ran for the nine miles as told,then we went to the Mess Hall,and had some spagetie.We were earning our jump wings.I knew that I should of gone for years of college and came in as an officer but still.Now we did pushups,US Army Style.Later we went to sleep and at 6:00 AM we got up and did a nine mile run up and down the hill,nick names Curahee.As we ran MSG barns would taunt us"Theres a ambulance at the bottom of the hill if you know your not good enough,it will all be over'exc mark'."He would say to slackers.Pvt.CLiff paddlepretzle ran up the hill,along with us but he was at the lead all the time.MSG Barns was never nice,he would play tricks on us all of the time.One day he told us the run was canceled and we all got to eat spagetie,then he uncanceled it when we were full so we had to run 9 miles,pukeing all over the place.This is the story of my bootcamp,D-Day will be better.
