Some people think only one way...entertainment first.

90% of the anxiety, fear, and despair while going into things like BUDs, SFAS, is not knowing whats going to happen. Was for me at least.

Nice to know these days all you have to do is pop on the tube before your trip to Bragg and get a good idea for what awaits you.

Discovery Channel will benefit from this, but how does the Regiment?
I don't know. I'm sure a lot of the older guys and old school guys will not like it. The cynic in me is saying "What's the point?". But I'm going to have to watch it and judge then. It seems like it's going to dampen some of the mysticism surrounding SFAS and SF.

Ultimately, it's cheap entertainment. I know I will be sitting from the comfort of my couch watching, laughing, drinking a beer and saying "Oh, that sucks".
