The shit finally hit the fan here. The First Sergeant found out about people sneaking out of the barracks to buy cigarettes and candy. The entreprenerial souls were selling them at a big profit to their fellow soldiers, and now we've all gotten in trouble for the transgressions of a few. We were supposed to transition to Blue Phase, which is the last part of basic training. That would have brought fewer restrictions and more privileges, such as the possibility of phone calls every night.
The mood here is not pleasant. We started our day with a PT session, and then were smoked for an extra hour. Fistfights broke out, and the perpetrators were forced to come to the front to confess to the 1SG. I still think that there may be blanket parties in the future for some folks. None of the offenders were in my platoon, but we are all still being punished, nevertheless. The 1SG is threatening to revoke our family day privileges, though I doubt that would happen (I can't even imagine the ruckus that all the visiting parents, siblings and significant others would cause). I have heard of this type of punishment being meted out on an individual basis, however, if the infraction was severe enough.
