They showed the terrorist were made to stand with their hands against the wall with their feet spread, and they called that torture? We had to do the same thing, but with a rifle in our hands. And you better not drop the rifle or would be outside in the "pit" which was mud and sawdust with a nice layer of ice from the cold. You would be low crawiling back and forth until the drill sergeant got tired. I won't even go into the stuff that was done to us during S.E.R.E. (Survive, Evade, Escape, Resist) training.  |
Yea, I remember going until he got tired. I was in Boot during the Summer and he would get a glass of Iced Tea, put up an umbrella and sit in the shade sipping tea while we were in the sun in full gear humpin it. When he got tired, we were then "allowed" to march in formation around the perimiter of the base. When done, we got to go to chow.
