Cell Phone Use in Army Basic
<p>When I first heard of this, I thought, "Oh, no. Another one of those 'basic training rumors' that keep going around. Remember the one about "stress cards" that recruits in (pick your service) basic training were given, so that they could call a "time out" from basic training if they felt too stressed?</p>
<p>Turns out the "cell phone" rumor is true.</p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/11/02/cell-phone-use-in-army-basic.htm">Cell Phone Use in Army Basic</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/">About.com US Military</a> on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 at 11:23:47.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/11/02/cell-phone-use-in-army-basic.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/11/02/cell-phone-use-in-army-basic.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://usmilitary.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/11/02/cell-phone-use-in-army-basic.htm&zItl=Cell Phone Use in Army Basic">Email this</a></p>
Stupid Rules
<p>There's an old saying, "There's the right way, the wrong way, and the military way." When I was on active duty, we enlisted members would often gather together and discuss stupid military rules we'd encountered, and what we would do to change things if we were ever put in charge.</p>
<p>I'm sure many of you have seen stupid rules during your military service. How about sharing them? What stupid rules did you see, and what would you do to change them if you could?</p><p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;padding:.5em;"><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/10/31/stupid.htm">Stupid Rules</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/">About.com US Military</a> on Saturday, October 31st, 2009 at 13:50:15.</p><p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/10/31/stupid.htm">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/10/31/stupid.htm#gB3">Comment</a> | <a href="http://usmilitary.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://usmilitary.about.com/b/2009/10/31/stupid.htm&zItl=Stupid Rules">Email this</a></p>
