Invariably, this is a good thing, cause if you could not handle what was happening at West Point, she definately could not handle combat... =.=
One of my DIs (Force Recon) at Parris Island told me that on one “deep recon” mission in Vietnam they had a team member “break’. They spend a week or more getting him and themselves out of “injun country” and back to basecamp.
He told me that he promised himself then that if ever he became a DI, if anyone going through one of his platoons was ever in their life going to come unglued, he would make sure that it would be at boot camp, rather than in combat.
He was true to that promise.
Good man.
