Do You Remember Your Drill Sergeant?

Staff Sgt. Leightner and Tsgt. Geick! A Couple of solid dudes actually. No screwing around, just got us all trained up and out the door. Well, except for the one dumbass that could't cut Air Force basic training... I mean, really? There were massages after every mile run and a mint on the pillow every single night! Made my mile in 12 minutes flat, top 10 in the flight!!

A mile in 12 minutes? That's slowly as fuck. Mine was 7minutes 14 seconds

@SW-User I have no idea what I ran my mile in. The point was, compared to Air Force basic, I had been in tougher boy scout camps! On the other hand, my last active duty was a SAC base. We loaded nukes under Aardvark bombers for a trip over the pole. A job I am eternally grateful I never had to actually do... As long as I could actually run a mile without falling down the USAF was pretty much good.

@SW-User Oh yeah.. How long ago was that mile that you remember the time of so precisely?
