Tip I learned from boot camp: don't lock your knees.

"Are you showing off?" from a man who has made a career out of knowing how to cook + being a dick to anyone who makes a mistake while they are at cooking boot camp.


No, he's made 2 careers. One is knowing how to cook and being an expert in the cooking/restaurant industry, and the other is being truthful to people who don't like the truth.

Whoever decided to get gordon ramsay to play a tv-nastie did a great job. They saw that he was brutally honest and he expected 100% effort (and honesty too) from people in all regards, which he manages to give in everything he does. This sort of stuff was early on when he was just being brutally honest - he didn't act like a dick, he showed her up for acting like a little baby and she really didn't like it. If she wasn't such a stuck up under-achiever, he wouldn't have been able to wind her up. The people he likes the most in his kitchen seems to be the ones who know when to have a laugh and when to knuckle down and get shit done.

The stuff you see in like kitchen nightmares USA is just over-hyped and over-played by everyone (including ramsay) because they think that's what hits biggest in amerca. In the UK version i'd rarely even say he was being a cock.

It's like the polar opposite to UK (Pop) Idol and American Idol. In the UK version, simon cowell is a bit harder than the other 2 judges (who are hard themselves) and looks like a bit of a jerk. In the american version, the other 2 judges are WAY too stereotypically 'nice americans', congratulating people on trying and such when it's clear they're CRAP. So on the american version, simon cowel really doesn't look anywhere near as much of a cock.

there was one in my boot camp, too, said the army was chickenshit

there's always one guy...

We can only hope that they will ultimately honor their oath to the Constitution instead of a corrupt administration that could easily abuse their power of the military.

It would be a horrible irony to see our trusted military (which took an oath to defend the law of the land) execute unconstitutional anti-citizen/citizen suppression in such a manner as to harm their fellow countrymen.
Hopefully there will be enough commanders that follow the UCMJ which clearly dictates that it is not only a member of the military's right but however is their duty to not follow illegal orders.

"I,____________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) 809.ART.90 (20), makes it clear that military personnel need to obey the "lawful command of his superior officer," 891.ART.91 (2), the "lawful order of a warrant officer", 892.ART.92 (1) the "lawful general order", 892.ART.92 (2) "lawful order". In each case, military personnel have an obligation and a duty to only obey Lawful orders and indeed have an obligation to disobey Unlawful orders, including orders by the president that do not comply with the UCMJ. The moral and legal obligation is to the U.S. Constitution and not to those who would issue unlawful orders, especially if those orders are in direct violation of the Constitution and the UCMJ.

During the Iran-Contra hearings of 1987, Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, a decorated World War II veteran and hero, told Lt. Col. Oliver North that North was breaking his oath when he blindly followed the commands of Ronald Reagan. As Inouye stated, "The uniform code makes it abundantly clear that it must be the Lawful orders of a superior officer. In fact it says, 'Members of the military have an obligation to disobey unlawful orders.' This principle was considered so important that we-we, the government of the United States, proposed that it be internationally applied in the Nuremberg trials." (Bill Moyers, "The Secret Government", Seven Locks Press; also in the PBS 1987 documentary, "The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis")

I remember having to study this when I was in boot camp in the USAF so I thought to look this up.

We have to trust our men and women in Uniform - there is little other choice really.

We'll miss you, buddy, and I hope you drop us a line whenever you can. Boot camp is going to suck, but it won't suck that bad. The worst part: You never get enough sleep. The rest is all a mindfuck. Don't forget that. And don't laugh when your drill instructor says something funny like in 'Full Metal Jacket.' That was the demon I had to slay in boot camp, but it made my chest and arms stronger, I tell ya.

Take care, and we all appreciate your service to our country.

Boot camp was such a mind fuck. I wanted to laugh half the time. Fortunately for me I never did, unlike the unfortunate Pvt. Pyle. Still, it was all I could do to choke back the laughter some times. I practically developed a facial tick from stifling the smiles and chuckles.

I had no idea there could be a rational explanation for this scene until I went through boot camp and the NCOs harangued us and doled out push-ups when we'd incorrectly call our rifles "guns" (they aren't; handguns are guns, machine guns are guns, various other weapons are guns, but rifles are rifles).

Ya know, when this shit all started in 2003, with the "evidence" provided at the time, I think that it's safe to say that the majority of the nation wanted to go to war with Iraq. Hell, they had WMDs? And intelligence said that they wanted to use them on us? Get the fucking bastards, right? Yeah!

Lo and behold, if they had them, they're now gone. That's if they ever had them. At all.
Once we had confirmed that there were indeed no WMDs, we had no right to be there. A sovereign nation had not attacked us, and presented no threat to us if they really had no WMDs. Seriously - what are they gonna do, invade the U.S. with a bunch of guys with AK-47s? They would get massacred. But that's all a moot point, because they had absolutely no means of even getting to us. Therefore the only threat they posed were WMDs - of which it turns out they had none.

Yeah, the got a little repetitive, but bear with me.
When I joined the Marine Corps in 2003, I had only spent about 6 months in the Fleet before I was cast into the giant sandbox to help the war effort that was supposed to be outing a regime and searching for WMDs. By that time (July 2004) we had already caught Saddam cowering in his little hole like the piece of shit that he is was.
By that time there were still no WMDs to be found.
By that time Bush had delivered his "Mission accomplished" speech on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.
That was May 1st, 2003. Before I had even went to boot camp.
By that time, we realized that we had accomplished our main goal: Outing the current leader of Iraq.
There were no WMDs to be found, and we knew that. To my knowledge, there are NO teams currently looking for them, or were when I was there.
That means we no longer had any business left.
But wait - there's people shooting at us.
So we'll stay and kill them, right? Sure, why not take care of it while we can!
But do you think those unorganized ragtag insurgents are going to follow us if we left Iraq?
No.
Because we'd be giving them what they want.
Us to leave.
And never come back.
But no, we'll continue a war that doesn't even have a defined goal.
We'll continue it even WELL after we've run out of money to fund it, so long as China keeps loaning us money, which I'm sure they will do for as long as wee keep buying their shit that poisons our kids and breaks within a month.

But here's the part that REALLY baffles me:
1) This nation was created by the people, to be run FOR the people.
2) The majority of the nation thinks that we need to pull out of Iraq.
3) There is a candidate that is actually dumb enough to base his campaign on something that the majority has been proven to not want. Who fucking does that? Sides with the minority when trying to get votes? Seriously?
4) We're not out of Iraq when the PEOPLE want us out, and that our CONGRESS that was established BY the PEOPLE to SERVE the PEOPLE hasn't done SHIT.


Do I regret joining? Hell no. I miss it every day and even think of going back in almost as often. Would I go back if I was still in? Yes, because those were my orders, and I know that there are a lot of Iraqi civillians that want us there, because we bring them new schools and hospitals, among lots of other things. Do I think that we should get the fuck out of there, thereby saving billions of dollars and thousands of lives?

How does saying "no" not contradict sanity?

Ah, the joys of boot camp. Thanks for bringing back the pain.

>> ^xxovercastxx:
I'm very torn by this movie. I love me some Jackie Chan, but I'm no Jet Li fan. I'm willing to accept some crouching tiger being that this is based on a fairytale, but I strongly prefer my martial arts flicks to stay in the realm of real-world physics... a place where Jet Li rarely goes.


Yes because Jet Li's wushu movies are full of crap ay... lol
I love both of them, yet I find Jet Li far more entertaining to watch over Jackie Chan.

Jet Li has studied different Wushu styles since childhood and has mastered around 18 different weapon forms if I remember right. Jackie Chan studied traditional Kung Fu and chinese opera acrobatic forms in his childhood at the Peking Opera school(kinda like a boot camp for future performing acrobats) and has reportedly learned Hapkido, judo, boxing, and a lot other arts over the course of making movies.
Jet Li is the only man to ever to be the Wushu World Champion five times.
My money's on Jet Li.

My 2cents lol

Shame there's no video for "Boot Camp".
But this one is also awesome.

I want some pics of deathcow's resolve, and rock-hard carcass.....dinna he say he was committed to gettin' carved in 90 days??....Sweaty yoga, and what not???
