Any idea what they do for birthdays at reception, if anything?

Count on wasting away in 30th AG for at least two weeks, an 8-day stay is what every new private dreams of. It's not immposible just very rare (unless things have changed since summer '03). That place is just terrible. Don't get in any fights and wash your hands constantly, the Sand Hill plague is mean son of a bitch. Took me six weeks to kick it.

Sorry, but the Army does not recognize your birthday as a holiday.
Welcome to the big green machine.

I wasn't imagining anything remotely positive, I was just curious if Drills like to smoke people if they find out it's their birthday. Thanks for the welcome!

So you think they need a special reason to smoke people?

Not at all, it was just an interesting thought.

Swindelous - I would be happy to call my brother and ask him for you. He's the 1SG for a BCT Company in Ft. Jackson but I'm sure he has friends at Benning that would be ecstatic to arrange a B'day party for you. (Since he just spent two weeks visiting/training with the TNG Bde down there.) Maybe we could arrange to have the b'day experience follow you through the rest of your training too! Never forget - It's a small world. Peregrino

After a month of fighting my recruiter, I moved over the NG side. Went to MEPS today and signed as NQP with 1-20th SFGA.
