Are we little p******? Are we weak idiots just because we get easy training? Are you better than me just because you got tougher training? Sometimes when i talk to people, i get the feeling that they look down on me because i'm getting easy training. So you went through hell in BMT... just because i'm not going through as crazy a hell as you did does not mean i'm less of a man.

'Tough' training is relative. If you've gone though BMT donkey years ago, that'll be tough training to you. If you've gone though BMT 5 years ago, which is definitely less tough than BMT 20 years ago, that'll be tough training to you. If you, like me, are going through Civil Defence right now(i mean the training before the people complained), the training there will be tough to you. Why? Because you've never experienced something so physical before in your life, and have to push yourself to your physical limit. The people in BMT push themselves to their limit, as do the people in BRT. People faint in BMT, and people faint in BRT. Its just that those in BMT have their physical limits expanded faster than thsoe in BRT.

BMT training is tough, BRT training is also tough. Don't try to tell someone in CD that the training is easy, because it never is. Will i be able to handle it if i had been sent to BMT instead? i'm sure i would have. Why wouldn't i be?

And just a little update on the situation. The PTIs are training Alpha and Bravo company tough again, while Charlie is still given special treatment. However, my platoon has complained to our Platoon Commander, and he spoke to the PTI. So the PTIs give us special tough training when he trains us as a platoon, but not as a company.

Yeah. I'm proud of my platoon.
