Platoon

Platoon (1986) IMDB rating: 8.20 Plot: Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) is a young, naive American who gives up college and volunteers for combat in Vietnam. Upon arrival, he quickly discovers that his presence is quite nonessential, and is considered insignificant to the other soldiers, as he has not fought for as long as the rest of them and felt the effects of combat. Chris has two commanding officers, the ill-tempered and indestructible Staff Sergeant Robert Barnes (Tom Berenger) and the more pleasant and cooperative Sergeant Elias Grodin (Willem Dafoe). A line is drawn between the two officers and a number of men in the platoon when an illegal killing occurs during a village raid. As the war continues, Chris himself draws towards psychological meltdown. And as he struggles for survival, he soon realizes he is fighting two battles, the conflict with the enemy and the conflict between the men within his platoon.

Question for all army people?
And please no rude answers or swarthy retorts because we are all grown ups here.

But when you were in the army, did you ever have to do push ups in the mud? Or is that a myth that I see in most television shows. What was the push ups in mud like and was it only you or a whole platoon and what did it have to do with the army? Can people also contact me to talk if they are willing? My YIM is luckygirlstorm. I look forward to meeting with you!
I’m not joining the army but I know somebody who is and I am just trying to separate facts from fiction. He doesn’t care whether he gets dirty or not.

I think ALL military branches have done pushups in the mud. The army just does it for fun.

While my boyfriend was in BCT they did, they also all had to crawl in the mud and roll in it until they were completely covered. Everyone in his PLT did it. It was interesting to watch on their training dvd.

If its raining and you’re outside during training then yeah, you’re gonna get muddy and messy especially during field training. It’s just a fact of life. The Army is an outdoor sport.

Oh, it happens. More common in Basic Training than the "real Army" but it even happens there. When I was at Fort Drum, NY, our whole company had to do it once because we weren’t acting motivated enough about the fact that we were conducting Physical Training in the cold with a lot of slush on the ground. The NCOs sought out a nice muddy area next to the volley ball court to teach everyone a lesson.

Personally, I just embraced the suck (literally) and made sure to get as muddy as I could. Everyone else joined in the "fun." By the end of it, even those NCOs who had conceived of this punishment had gone in themselves and were all just one big muddy happy team. Teamwork is key.

We all went upstairs after PT, took hot showers, then spent the next hour mopping mud from the barracks hallways. Again, we kept up a good attitude about the whole thing - these kinds of situations can really bring a unit together, ironically.

Not sure how much Divas make, but I’d go and get some good training first. Look in to Shimmer Women’s Athletes. It’s the best women’s wrestling in the world and housed women like Beth Phoenix in the past.

Schooling at FCW? FCW ain’t a school moron! It’s a tryout school. Meaning that people with at least 2 years experience can try out for a FCW contract.

But who is to know IF you will make it in WWE? FCW can still fire you?

Also I would say a rookie makes bout $2000 for the most.

Also why bother you clearly got no knowledge on the damn biz anyway.

Go to school and get an actual job. Not some fricking school dropouts millionare life style job.
