I was in the 11th Regiment of LDAC 2005 and just returned from 3 weeks of CTLT at Ft. Hood, Texas. Now that I have a few minutes to reflect out loud on ARfcom, here are my thoughts:
First - Warrior Forge? Sure, we were a little sleep deprived and they took away our cell phones, and they made us a little uncomfortable but we didn't train to any specific standard. LDAC was not really that hard, and no I wouldn't do it again - I said it wasn't difficult, I didn't say it was fun.
Second - If you are not a total moron and you didn't quit, you passed LDAC. I think that a few lame calves should have been culled from the herd, if you know what I mean.
Third - I really dislike females in the military - example:
random female #1 "Women can do anything men can do and we can do somethings better!"
me "Go with you battle buddy and get the water cans and MREs for the squad"
random female #1 "But, we're females! We can't lift those!"
I also can't stand how girls seem to assume that they become 60% better looking because they are at camp - they don't understand the economic principle of scarcity. I enjoyed the dejected looks on their faces when we arrived at the Seatac Airport and there was suddenly a readily available supply of good looking women.
I hate a 130 lbs female telling a 185 lbs male to shut up or she'll "beat his ass" - unless she's had some martial arts training that he doesn't have, it's a simple matter of mathematics and physiology - he could beat her ass if he had to. I HATE THE TUFF GIRL ACT!
Fourth - I hope BOLC 2 isn't another LDAC only they call us sir/mam...
Fifth - On a positive note, some of the good parts included fire support day (get a chance to be a 13F and a 13B), security ops (fire up the m249), water confidence day, the air mobile raid, etc.
