3. You could drive around Fort Bragg all day, every day, and never see anything that looks like a scene from "Stripes," "Private Benjamin" or "G.I. Jane." Maybe that stuff happens at other Army posts, but it doesn't happen much here.
4. "G.I. Jane" is a completely misnamed movie, by the way. Demi Moore joined the Navy and "G.I." refers to soldiers in the Army. But, I guess "G.I. Jane" is catchier than "Squid Jane," so there you have it. And while we're at it, the Army has soldiers, the Navy has sailors, the Marine Corps has Marines and the Air Force has airmen.
(Extra Credit: Soldiers are often called "joes"; sailors are called "squids"; Marines are called "jarheads" and airmen are called - lucky. Just kidding. I only say that because the Air Force always seems to have the nicest stuff. Also, some of these terms can be considered derogatory. Use with caution.)........"
