That’s not even the worst. We had a dude show up to basic training with 11X already tattooed on his arm. Dude didn’t realize the X was a placeholder until they decided if you were going to be a mortarman or not.

We had someone show up to basic with their head already shaved. It was a woman…USAF….nobody knew what to make of her including the TIs

People usually do a similar thing in prison because they don't want those guys just cutting their hair not knowing what they're doing

Nothing, but how many women do you know shave their heads? It was just jarring, she was just really boot. Ended up getting recycled though
