And boot camp is a walk in the park compared to infantry OCS, aka Benning School for Boys. The whole idea is mental and physical toughness, to survive in combat, to defend the U.S.A. Novel concept, huh?
Home of the Infantry, Follw Me! Hooah!
I was offered a slot at OCS in '69.I declined the invitation because I knew 1)that it was highly unlikely that I'd be able to hack it and 2)that if I did make it,the life expectancy of a second lieutenant in RVN was about two days.
