In boot camp nowadays, if you don't want to be messed with by the DI you just hold up your "stress card"."

I think that extends outside of Bootcamp as well. I think the wording was like "I'm stressed i need a 15 minute break." I'm not too sure how the story went, but i got the impression you pretty much kissed away your career wanted even more trouble, you pulled the card.

I remember my dad telling me a young female private pulled the "card" on him, he he told her to report back in 15 minutes.

My nephew (Army) said that nobody had the nerve to pull it when he was in boot camp, but just the fact that it is there at all is absurd.

Thanks for sharing what you “think”.

Faulty memory?
