 The scariest moment of BMT is clearly and unanimously zero week. If not zero night, that is the most stressful time of your life. You're running around, if you forget a pen in the day room, they scream at you a piece of paper, if you do something wrong, write something wrong, and it's interesting because before that, when you get issued everything right off the bus, they're all not nice but very helpful and not exactly what you'd expect. And then you get back to the dorms and everything goes wild. You get yelled at, you're shaken, you don't know where you are, you don't know anybody around you. It's a very unique experience. To be honest, I would do it all again though. It was the scariest part but it was also the most fun in a way, in a weird way. But I really liked it. Probably like the most scary moment I remember at BMT was like when I first got there. It was like the zero night. We had just like gotten into the dorms. We were starting to like unpack things, you know, it was chaos. I remember like one of the MTIs was like, he said like, put this away or something and I said, okay, and he said, how about a yes sir? And I was like, oh my gosh, like how did I forget that? I'm in the military now. I was freaking out a little bit. I was a little shook and it was just like such a vivid moment in my memory. The scariest moment in BMT for me, I thought was early morning, shake down on your first morning at BMT. You know, you don't know what to expect. They just flipped the lights on three, four in the morning. You just got in maybe two, three hours before trying to get some sleep. And then all these MTIs come out of nowhere into your dorm and start straight up yelling at people. Get here, sit in a bag and just dump it and stuff. You got like maybe two or three at you. You're like maybe just one. The scariest moment was probably the first night in like the next morning because like you had no idea what was happening and you're constantly on your toes and like, why did I do this? Why? You're just questioning yourself like, why did I sign up for this? This is stupid. Like you're running everywhere. You're like taking everything out of the wrapper, trying to get everything out when you're putting it all in your wall locker. And they're like, okay, shower. And everyone's like running a shower. You're like two inches of shower. The cake gave you about your feeling close. So like, I literally fell asleep in jeans that night. Well, I didn't actually sleep really, but that was so scary. Just everyone yelling is hectic. Also, don't get the first bed right by the opening. Like there's A, B, and B, B. Don't get the first bed. I was right by the latrine and oh my God, the light in your eyes. And it constantly opening, closing up like the door. And it was like, it would make all these cracking noises and stuff. Oh my God, it was the worst. Another scary moment. It's kind of funny and gross. So sorry. But it was like two days before we graduated and like, we already had like 10 hours of family time taken away from us. So we were just like scared to death that we get more time taken away. And literally anything you do, like, you're scared you're gonna get family time taken away. Like that's all they have for leverages you at with you at this point is like family time. So, um, and like this has happened before. And so it's kind of gross. So we get caught in the dayroom and our MTI is like, who the hell takes a dump in the stall that doesn't work? And we're all sitting there like, oh crap. And we're all so kind of like, try not to laugh because it's like something really funny to get mad over. But he was like, first of all, he's like, you'd have to climb under the stall and do that. Like who just drops a log and doesn't flush it or say anything about it. And we're all just sitting there like, like looking around like who's in a fess up. Of course, no one fessed up. We weren't gonna leave the room until someone fessed up and we were all so scared like all of our family time would have been taken away because someone took a dump in a bathroom that didn't work. This is embarrassing. No one fessed up to it. Oh my God. It's so embarrassing. It's so gross. It wasn't me. So whoever it was. Hey, so yeah, that was scary. I didn't we already had a lot of time taking my threats, but gladly we got all of it given back the last day. So we only had like one hour taken away total probably get in there. I kind of knew what I was in for because my buddy had come in before. But I didn't like really know. So it wasn't like getting there or sitting in the PRC with your box nasty. So I was in 321st Disneyland. So we didn't get on a bus to go to our dorms. We just like walked out of PRC in formation and like walk there as the worst formation ever. And an MTI, you know, has lined up figured out how to do formation, everything. And he was he was scary, man. I looking back on it, it was kind of funny. But he was he was just scary at the time. He ended up not being our MTI, but he was just another MTI. But yeah, that was probably the scariest moment. I'm scared of self incrimination at this part. But others will be honest, almost everyone writes when you're not supposed to write. So there's different techniques to writing and VMT. Some people wrote in bathrooms. That's like a big don't do that. I just kind of wrote kind of small notepad in my bed. And they did dorm checks. So the MTI came in and I didn't know about it. And all I saw was the edge of his light and I went right into my bed. I was like, Oh my God, I was so scared. And I slept on my notepad and pen the entire night. And I had like, then grading more except five. So yeah, if you if you see my MTIs, I definitely did not write no pads. No, I was a good person. Scariest moment. Right there. Chow Runner. Day zero. He asked us who wasn't afraid of public speaking. I raised my hand. Why? And that's how I got the job. So my scariest moment was walking into breakfast. And my actually this shirt, I wore to breakfast, I had to flip it inside out. And I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The scariest moment I had was that zero night, the first night we were there. And we had like five to seven NTIs in there. It was like all hell of broke loose. It was terrible. And I thought if this was basic training, I would not survive. But it's it's not like that. They do that to say, Hey, we're the dog. We're the top dogs. We're in charge here. You're not in charge. We are the MTIs. You do what we say. So that was a scariest moment.
