12 Times 'The Vampire Diaries' Summed Up The Basic Training Life

"Please stop talking."

Basic training is rough and all kinds of stressful, and who better to explain it than a couple of vampires, a werewolf, and a witch?

1. When someone leaves their wall locker unlocked

Nobody liked walking up into the bays to see that it had been trashed because some idiot left their wall locker open... again.

2. When it starts raining during a ruck march

This happened on more occasions than I'm okay with remembering.

3. When a Drill Sergeant asks you why you did something

I feel like this one needs a little bit of explanation. We had a drill sergeant who would make us do push-ups and ask why we were doing our own thing, and we would always respond with "Because, Drill Sergeant, I do what I want."

4. When you meet someone who has already finished Basic Training

Gotta say, I was always jealous of those AIT guys.

5. When someone says something stupid in class

More than once we had someone ask a Drill Sergeant a stupid question, or someone is a smart ass about something the drill sergeant was talking about — it never ended well for us.

6. That one time at Omaha Beach...

If you look closely at my boots I wore to Buddy Team Live Fire, you'll probably still be able to see the caked on mud that will probably never come off.

7. That time someone asked the Drill Sergeant if they could take a nap

You would think after we were told NOT to sleep, he wouldn't have asked.

8. When you find that one person you don't hate

For me, she didn't come in till nearly half way through basic training, but she made it bearable.

9. When they decide to have PT outside when it's raining

Even our Ability Group DS thought it was insane.

10. When your drill sergeant asks why you have 'that look' on your face

Apparently I just have this face where people think there is something wrong or that I want to kill someone. 9/10 times, they're probably right, but I'll just continue to quietly hate them.

11. When the Drill Sergeant says "You can go upstairs early"

ITS A TRAP — I REPEAT, ITS A TRAP.

12. When it's finally over

You're lying if you say you didn't shed a tear when you stepped foot on that graduation field.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
