#107 - The punishment continues

Not much time to write today. Yesterday was a day of hell - being smoked all day long, and treated like shit by the cadre. Some people think that the DSs are being cruel and having fun with this. We are being punished more severely than ever before, even worse than our treatment during the first week of basic training. Our lockers were "inspected" (all contents thrown out across the room) for two days in a row. The Drill Sergeants emptied all the garbage cans all over the barracks, stomped on our berets and clothes, tossed the beds, and even mixed together our dirty laundry from the laundry bags. I don't anticipate it getting better anytime soon. It is frustrating to put up with this crap because of the actions of a few idiots. This is the time when we were supposed to be enjoying Blue Phase before graduation, the time when we should have been getting respect from the Drill Sergeants for everything that we have achieved.

To add insult to injury, we found out that there is another perk of Blue Phase we will miss out on - internet access! Apparently the cadre had been in the process of trying to set up some computers in one of the platoon classrooms for e-mail. It's bad that we can't use them, but maybe a good sign for those shipping to BCT in the future... maybe they will have access to the internet as a perk to look forward to.
