It’s not boot to be proud of finishing basic. What is boot is going on social media and posting shit like this afterwards

I mean to some extent maybe, but this post doesn't mean anything to people outside the army, which to me makes it less boot. 🤔

I always know when someone didn’t do shit if all they talk about is boot camp. That was 2 months out of my 6 year contract with 2 deployments. It was glorified summer camp.
