| I think it was a good program as well. If gangs exist in the military it ain't in basic training. That is unless times have really changed.
I've always said I wouldn't send my worst enemy to basic, but it's something everyone should try. The world would be a better place.
I watched basic make men out'a boys and boys out'a men. One of the guys I mentioned that was there by court order was a real jerk, at first. We got in a fight on bivouac in the latrine and thats where he told me he was there as a choice of jail or military. He was in our company but a different platoon and given our platoon some bad mouth. Thats what the fight was about. I know, stupid, but I was young and well.. stupid.
By the time we graduated he was a totally different person.
