They have pussified basic training

Evil Chris · 07-26-2005

I have heard similar things happening in the Canadian military. Coed barracks (more like condos) now, and just a whole new set of "can't do this to them" rules now.

Recruits appear to have rights they never used to have. I'd agree that physical contact (ie. punching, or hitting with pace sticks) is wrong. However, I did my basic training in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia back in 1983, and it was fucking rough. Example... I doubt that standing the troops outside in the freezing rain (in work-dress uniform) for over an hour would be acceptable in this day and age.

Basic was almost as rough as the combat leadership training I did in 1993. Toughest shit I have ever been through both mentally and physically in my entire life.
