I did 20 years on active duty in the Army. To this day, I will admit that getting off the bus walking (running) the gauntlet of drill sergeants looking for my bags was the most stressful time of my career. Looking back on it, I laugh though.

Amen
Shortly after, having to hold all your gear over your head until everyone got formed up was a nightmare. I remember thinking to myself, damn, it's been 5 minutes and I'm ready to get right the frick back on the bus and go home.

I'll never forget this. I was at Ft. Knox in the 80's. We started out going through the reception center (if you've ever seen the movie Stripes, the reception center at Knox was the barracks in that movie)
(outside view)
(inside view)
We spent a week there (they shipped us there too early and we had to wait for the rest of our company to arrive). Once our company was complete, they loaded us onto "Cattle trucks" and shipped us over to the Disney (no relation to Walt) Barracks...
Once the trucks stopped the driver drops the rear gate and there is this drill sgt. yelling at us "You fricking maggots got 10 gotdamn seconds to get off my fricking truck and 9 of em are already gone MOVE!". We bail out of this truck with our bags (one duffle the other our civilian bag) and as we do this the doors of our barracks fly open and all these other drill sergeants come pouring out like an ant bed that you'd just kicked. They proceed to smoke us for what seemed forever. By the time they were done I could barely move my arms. I thought I'd ruined my life and was certain I'd be dead within days.
