Exactly. I also enjoyed basic just like you did and for the same reasons. I didn't look at basic as something terrible. I just looked at it as something I had to do before I could get into flight school. I found most of the fellows who had a tough time were ones who continually tried to buck the system so to speak. It took them some time to learn that didn't work in the Army.
I was asked by the drill sergeant what time it was.
I answered, Day time sergeant.
I spent the rest of the day doing pushups but laughed the whole time.

Military service is the epitome of love of country and family. It's not for everyone but thank God there are those chosen few in each generation.

Congratulations.
Tell him to enjoy basic.
I found it to be fun because of my attitude kept me from taking things personally.
He will learn a whole lot with a good attitude even when doing crap things.
I also trained out of Benning and took some additional training there as well after graduation.

That is Ok.
We all cannot be Infantry.
LOL, a joke he will appreciate once he has graduated and become part of the club.
