Back against the wall, knees bent at 90 degrees, arms straight out in front of you. You are in a sitting position, but you aren't sitting down. Your legs BURN.

Thats exactly it. I had to do grass drills in the pots and pans section during KP. My foot slipped a few inches while I was at parade rest asking for permission to go to the latrine. My Drill Sgts eyes lit up "Walking at parade rest eh turd? Get dow get up get down get up, mountain climbers, flutter kicks, mountain climbers......" then repeat. Went on for what seemed like forever. After all the mountin climbers he put me in the electric chair. He asked. "Can you feel the lightning shooting through your ass turd?"
It was kind of funny because my legs were jumping and vibrating it looked like I was being electrocuted. And the burning shooting from my ankles to my asshole mad me think "Holy crap, I can feel it."
I dont remember going to the latrine after all that. I think I sweat it all out.
PD the dope who asked about the gas for the saw, ended up being made "Platoon Leader" a few days later. That was a serious WTF??
Come on . Lets hear some stories of the real dopes from basic. There is at least one in every Company or platoon.
