the conflicting parts (immortal)

I’m betting it’s basically a bota bag / wine skin.

in the mid 90's in Army Basic Training I once sold an opened pack of cigs for 200 bucks.

the military, in general, has lowered standards and expectations for each successive iteration of a training school. Maybe not for the MOS/Job Skills portions, but for basic soldiering, definitely

Goddamit ... which finger is the index finger? First finger? Then which one is the pointer finger? Why aren’t these goddamned things labeled?!?
