See there, that's the opposite of what I'd expect for any of my sons that decide to go into the military. I absolutely would want them to get yelled at—pushed around—anything at all that entails adversity if for any reason than that'd create a hurdle for them to get over. Basic training today is too easy—I do not want it to be even more easier for them.

I did my time on the trail. I've never hit my boys, but I sure have incorporated the corrective training methods I used as a Drill Sgt. into fixing their gaffes growing up.

Now, that's not saying they don't know how to shoot, they do—one of them competes on again, off again in match target rifle competitions, and the other likes to hunt big horn sheep.

I think what's important is that they're familiar with firearms more than it is they ought to have used ACOG's and red dot optics.
