July 22nd, 1999 is a day that will be embedded in my mind for as long as I live. That date is the day that changed my life and made me the person I am today. It was around 20 hundred hours when we were loaded onto a military transport bus. We arrived at the Great Lakes Naval around 21 hundred hours. Upon arrival on the base we all had a look of dread and despair not knowing what to expect. We were greeted by a large burly man, referenced as the Recruit Training Command also known as (RTC). This…

With this, the young man was relieved. The gestures that Paul displayed shows that he is a compassionate young…

Women are usually seen as being innocent and so at first we wouldn’t expect the women in Ladies in Lines to be able to cope with their new environment in the training centre. However, Ladies in Lines breaks down the walls of what we would see as being feminine and places the women into what would normally be classified as a “male dominated environment.” We as viewers respond to Ladies in Lines, at first, as being quite a dramatic and confronting documentary that shows the intimidating and strict…

I’ve had many positive experiences in my life, but my experience joining the Air Force and completing Basic Training had the greatest impact. I did not take high school seriously, because I signed to join the Air Force in my junior year of high school. Since I knew where I was going, I did not feel the need to apply myself in all my classes. I did just enough to graduate high school. Then September came, the month I left to Basic Military Training. During this time, I was broken down from the…

Before you are shipped to basic military training, you have to process through the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). This is where they examine you for any health defects or abnormalities that would disqualify you from service. While waiting in line to be checked by the doctor, a guy asked, “Hey man where you from?”. I answered, “East Atlanta.”. Then there was this loud bang that sounded like someone slamming an iron pot against a car door followed by a man yelling, “Who in the fuck…
