On 4April2012 about 2230-2240 Stairway to Heaven was done, and then then on 5April2012 0100 every requirement was finally met.

I'll start getting to post again on Wednesday.

A very well deserved congratulations.

I don't know if everybody here knows how long you have been working toward this and how many setbacks you had along the way.

You really proved what commitment and determination can achieve. I am very proud of your success.

Well done Timothy.

Now on to the rest of it.

Nicely done Sir!

Okay, I'm lost.. what's going on?

My guess is that Timothy finished basic training.

Congratulations!

Either that or he got laid. Congrstulations either way

Does that mean you also completed the Sky-Scraper, the Two-Line Bridge and the Weaver ? If so, congratulations indeed on the achievement !

Cheers

Nico

Yup, finished BCT.

I won't say all my thoughts and experiences, but I do have a humorous list I'll post of things I learned at Ft. Benning (aka The Men's Club), but I'll give you 2 from the list:

-When two Drill Sergeants give you contradictory orders, it doesn't mean that one Drill Sergeant is wrong, it means you're phucked.

-Apparently, it is possible to "unphuck" a goat or at least so we have been told.

If you don't get it, you haven't been through BCT.

I saw the best in humanity and I saw the absolute worse in humanity during my time.

I'll tell you one experience, not to brag, but I literally picked up a guy's ruck off his back and pushed him up StH because he was starting to fall out. Then when we stopped at the top to fill our Camelbacks, I found out he also had blisters, I handed him my change of socks knowing it would end in me getting blisters during the last 5 miles. I knew how important dry socks were and how rare they were with all the rain on FTX.

When I was night blinded by a passing car and hit a divot in the road, I twisted my ankle, smashed my knee, and was struggling to get get up, he ran across the road, blisters and all, to help re-position the ruck and pick me off the road.

True team spirit, part of what BCT is all about.

S!

I was ordered to the infirmary during the T-LB. We had a nasty lung infection run throughout the company. It forced a few people to miss so much they were restarted.
