I was in the Army; boot camp there was strikingly similar (stripping the M16 by feel, sheets and lockers etc.). We were in Ft. Knox; all the hills had names like "Misery", "Heartbreaker" etc. I understood that we were the last platoon to use live fire exercises (belly crawling under machine guns) because some a**hole had stood up during the previous cycle.
We even had a guy from the South who was amazed that the "nigg*rs didn't have tails" as he was taught. He took ****s in his locker (never knew why) and was gone pretty quick.
Our drill sergeant was incredibly prejudiced- did his absolute best to bust anyone who was black or brown. Literally beat the ***** out of my bunkmate- a black guy. Unfortunately he didn't make it.
I hated boot camp.
AIT was another story however.
