Happened across this image and just about choked on my beer... only those who know, know the command of execution. And the phrase that follows.

1st p'toon, E co., 2nd batt. 54th ITB, Ft. Benning, GA.... September '99 - January '00. 20 of the worst weeks of my life.

Woodland camo BDU, boot polish, M16A2s, Dont Ask Dont Tell, calling cards & pay phones, civilians had no clue what an Army Ranger was.... "good ol days"

When/where did you go to BCT/OSUT?

Front Leaning Rest..... that was the px/bar next to the barracks in jump school. Before your time back in the pre pc days of fatigues, steel pots, m16A1s, .45s, and jeeps. Basic and AIT at Sand Hill were easy compared to Bragg and Mackall.
