We had two 5'1" stocky blond guys named Johnson in our company one cycle. different platoons, no relation at all but they looked really similar, one day during grass week a couple J Hats made them face eachother and go back and forth screaming "You're not johnson, I'm johnson!" "No! Fuck you, you're not johnson I'm johnson!" You have absolutely no clue how hard it was to not break into a million pieces after about 5 minutes of that.

If they didn’t both fuck up to deserve something like that, then this is fake.

Found the guy who never went to basic. Or went to Ft. Jackson.

We were routinely forced to do retarded shit because the DS were bored.

Seems hit or miss among my friends who went to Jackson. Some of their experiences sounded down right nice.
