I was the platoon leader and as there was no higher ranked officer at the time at base camp, I was the one who ran the whole thing. You could've filled a few bottles of blood from those few soldiers who got injured. And it was my fault. Inexperienced. On the other hand, There were a lot of fun and jokes around the base camp. One guy wanted to get certs for a certain thing, I was the one who should've given him the papers. I told him to stay in a specific corner for a few minutes as I was going to get those papers done for him. The other guys were laughing their asses off as I was just smoking a cig outside. While he was only a PFC, I would've made the same mistake too. And why do I make such jokes? Because as their CO, I know that in the field, they'll won't know any better. So technically, they would make a misconception out of things they shouldn't give a thought about! Depends on what stories you hear. Getting killed is 1/1000. Getting injured is 1/100. Getting trolled by your CO is 1/2.

Cool, where were you based? Also, what year did you graduate? That happen this year?
