We had to do the 12 miler at Stewart along with a 4 mile run in addition to our regular PT test. I think we did a 17 miler in basic at Leonard Wood and it was pretty brutal.

I don't think they ever told us how far the march was in basic at Ft Benning. They simply let us know we were there at the end. I always had the feeling they believed in the element of surprise - drill sergeants knew what we were going to do - we didn't. Drill sergeants always marched or ran on the crown - we marched or ran in the sandy tracks.

I guess I'm probably one of the only ones that didn't care for Stripes.

I've done more 12 milers than I'd like to attempt to count. It's an arbitrary number and stupid.

Early on in the military I could run for days. As my body changed I got worse at running and better at everything else though. I think I did a 12 minute 2 mile at the end of basic and weighed 155. By the end of my service I was doing about a 14 something 2 mile and maxing push ups and sit-ups and weighed about 180. I should’ve tried to milk a little disability out of them because I can’t run 1/4 mile anymore without my back putting me on the ground.

I remember the ones that got orders to go to Korea was referred to as “queen for a year”. When I was in Korea it was more like “***** for a year”.

Korea had hot local girls at the USAF bases. No one really gave a second look at the American girls...so much so that a lot of dudes were coming back with wives. I remember on kid went to Kunsan for 30 days and wound up married.

Now in Afghanistan or Iraq...those were different stories.

They certainly do!!! It’s interesting because he was never even interested in dating anyone while he was in school. Turns 18, enlisted, gets shipped off to Korea and comes back married... Then had to wait like 3 years for her Visa to get approved so she could actually come over here. Anyway, I hope it works out for them.

I never did understand guys falling in "love" with Koreans while I was there but some did.
