Pff...we got the ever-loving stuffing smoked out of us if we even asked.
The old "smoke 'em if you got 'em" no longer applies - no cigs, no chew, no vaping, nothing.
I don't doubt that it will change soon - I'm hearing nowadays kids can have their cellphones at BCT (at least in the Army).
Hell, I went through 5 years ago and we still had DS' smacking people around willy-nilly.
Then again, it WAS Fort Benning...
Cell phones are a no no still as well. My nephew had his confiscated on day one......also Benning.
