What the hell is a stress card?

Like a credit card but it measures the stress after the cadet puts their fingers on the sensor. It changes color and if it shows the cadet is stressed they get a time out until the color changes

I read stuff like this and swear someone is trying to put one over on me.

The wussification of America continues. What's next, preferred pronouns? 'Drill sergeant, I don't like it when you call me private'.

I didn't doubt your story. I was a smidge too young for Vietnam and probably could not have passed a physical anyways due to a old neck injury. I strangely was physically ok to play college football. I played in college with a couple guys that went to college after a 4 year enlistment. Many of them would say 'This crap sucks as bad as basic training." The biggest change I see in football from back in the day is coaches aren't allowed to discipline players like they used to. I had a very low football I.Q. I was yanked around by the face mask and screamed at so many times I lost count. I always wonder if the armed forces has gone the same way. Do they bust drill instructors for cussing? Do they make them say please and thank you?


As for those timeouts you are talking about, how many can you call in a fire fight?

Most of those cadets that were too stressed out became employees of the USPS.
