You want to hear about suffering?

In Basic training we were given all our shots in one day at the very start of Basic. I forget how many... a lot. Some with needles and others with that new gun they had invented. The next day we were in agony. So how did our Drill Sargeants reward us?

We had to go thru the horizontal ladder..... only a few of us made it. All of us nearly in tears. laughing smiley

BTW... as a bonus I caught Hep C... they reused needles in those days. Had Hep C for some 40 years after that until cured somewhere around 2010.

As for vaccines, I've never had a problem with them. The only bad one was my first pneumonia vaccine which not only hurt worse than any shot I had ever received but left me so sore my arm was unusable for days after. No problem with the pneumonia vaccine since that first time. - JamesJM

  I honestly thought the multiple shots in the gut was Urban Legend by kids!

Ramgator58September 06, 2022 03:20PM

  No, it was absolutely real...

sstrams68September 06, 2022 03:22PM

  30 hours later, just very mild symptoms.

  I think you're gonna get lucky..

sstrams68September 07, 2022 11:44AM

  LOL Gotta be honest...I've toned down my drinking so I'll probably be more tame.....

Ramgator54September 07, 2022 01:34PM

  Toning down your drinking..

sstrams115September 07, 2022 02:02PM

  Meeeeeeeeh. I don't know. It all started back in late May for me.

Ramgator63September 07, 2022 03:28PM

  I usually take the opposite approach...

JamesJM64September 07, 2022 02:47PM
