Bradley Manning’s first day in the Army
Apparently, Breanna Manning (Bradley once told his commander that he wanted everyone to call him Breanna, according to his lawyer, so we’re just complying with his wishes here), the Wikileaks traitor, has been whining for a while. The above photo of him crying his little eyes out, was taken his first day in the Army and sent to us through a couple of people by someone who went to basic with him. I guess someone should have been paying attention to him from the beginning.
I’ll admit that I was a little bit scared my first day, but not to the point of tears. Anyway, I thought this was a good way to start your Friday.

This picture reminds me of the first moment of basic after getting off the bus from reception. The drill sergeants took everyone’s duffel bags and scattered them about, then told everyone that they had something like a minute to find their two bags and hold them without letting the bags touch the ground while standing in formation. The drills would then yell at random people, particularly if they were struggling or cheating. Although some handled the stress better than others, I don’t recall anyone crying.
In this picture, maybe’s he’s crying because he couldn’t find his bag?
#49: Nicki’s about as female as they come…she runs the following patriotic blog:

FIFY
Yeah, Nicki is in the members’ gallery.
@41: And naturally, no excuses were offered or accepted. I just got chewed on and told to pick up the pace.
You know, I wasn’t really scared on my first day. Then again, I was the “old man” in the platoon at 22. I had also been drilling with National Guard Drill Sergeants who made me know that a DI was still human (mostly).
However, I do vividly remember one female soldier in my PLT who pissed herself in the middle of the initial smoking that every recruit gets. We were lifting and lowering our full duffels when she started whimpering to herself and then her trousers went wet. Both of my Drills went off on her at that point and had to get a female Drill to continue to berate her as she got changed in the latrine.
I squirted a few manly tears after the CS chamber, and a rope of snot that would have impressed friends and family both.
I stay away from anyplace that allows posts on this turd, when I see people refering to this toolbox as a hero I seriously start seeing red.
And yes Nicki is a female, you can see her in the members gallery and notice she has Silo’s,Milk 1ea. 😛
Fort Polk, LA 1966 We had just flown through a hell of thunder storm in a 4 engine prop from Houston. Stews even got sick and as soon as we stepped off the plane we could smell the salt air blowing in from the coast( being from MN that was my first Taste of it).Dang we were sicker than junk yard dogs, and there stood the DI! I can still see his face, SSG Null, 5’7″ and stocky. Still as lousy as Basic was at Tigerland there were some good memories and great friendships made. As for the POS this discussion is about I volunteer to join the firing squad.
@56
If that were to somehow have happened to me, pissing myself on the first day of boot camp, I would have willed myself to die. Right there. On the spot.
“I don’t know Captain. I really don’t. One minute I was there, doing the usual, the next minute they’re lying on the deck, dead in their own piss.”
@58
As for the POS this discussion is about I volunteer to join the firing squad.
I might be alone in this, but I don’t want him/her/? dead. I think that’s far, far too easy. Compared to the alternatives, I think death is a mercy sentencing.
Deny the gender reassignment surgery, of course. Tattoo “TRAITOR” in big, black, block letters on their forehead and sentence them to life in Leavenworth. No parole for a Federal sentence, so they’re going to do all of it.
Do something similar to the Boston Bomber as well.
Well, I can honestly say this is a first. No one has ever asked me if I was female before!
Thanks for confirming, guys!
Now all we need is for TSO to come back and make yet more references to my boobs!
LMAO!!!
I’m sure Fort Jackson or Leonard Wood was terrifying for him.
Crying is only authorized during eagle globe and anchor ceremony. Every recruit sheds a year then.
Lol us army.
I never cried (Hell it was the Air Farce) I did the CS chamber thing (leaning over the TSgt’s shoulder saying through my mask as he’s lighting the pellets with a torch) “Hey, I don’t think that’s working….he turns to me and politely said, “Airman, if your mask wasn’t working you’d have known it by now….being about 6 inches away from the smoke can..) and then one time, after a *lengthy* run, bending over on the end of the finish trying to gather myself in the Texas heat at 4 am and having my Drill yell at me for 3 or 4 minutes….YOU OK….YOU LOOK LIKE A LITTLE GIRL….STAND UP….WHY ARE YOU ALL BENT OVER?!?! (me gagging) AW HELL NAW, YOU BETTER NOT PUKE ON MY SHOES OR I”LL BE PULLING OUT OF YOUR ASS NEXT….etc etc…..
I didn’t puke.
@60 This nation needs to be made aware that actions have consequences IMHO, especially treason. I know you should never volunteer for anything but I stand by my previous post. 🙂
Nicki when all you have to go by is text your colorful vocabulary tends to make one think that you are one of the guys. Then again once they see your chesticles, lung hammers, midget fists, dirty pillows, insert witty name for tatas, on the gallery or your blog then they know you are a female.
hehe I couldn’t resist 😀
I want to see him executed, not out of blood lust, but because we can match his tearful visage above with photos capturing the lament of his equally effete legion of traitor/supporters.
Any male “white knight” shedding tears or defending Manning’s actions should be castrated quickly with whatever implement is on hand. We need to prevent further polluting the American gene-pool with their tard plasm.
I do remember one squatty, unpleasantly box-shaped person named Fenstermacher who constantly yelled at us to get our hands out of our pockets.
But we girls did not have men as boot pushers then, back then in the olden times, when men were men and women were glad of it.
Oh, little bradley bastardpiss notamanning — please just lock him up in solitary with a slit for a window, no TV, no books except the Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook, and three times a day, he gets unseasoned grits and water. That’s it. And only paper clothing, so that it can be burned when he’s worn it for a couple of months.
@68 ” back then in the olden times, when men were men and women were glad of it.”
I keep saying this to my wife, we are raising generation after generation of self entitled pu**%$# that dont know how to act like men. I guess there is some hope, I was at a friends house the other night and his teenage son was talking trash to the two “old men” while we were outside smoking. So I proceeded to put him in a head lock and with a little joint manipulation I expected him to say uncle fairly quickly, to my suprise he wouldnt say uncle or anything else I tried to get him to say (I love Justin Bieber etc.). I’ll tell ya the kid is tough and his dad is raising him right, some girl is going to find a good man in that kid when he gets older.
@69
Yah. We’re raising a generation divided. Kind of testicular fortitude haves and have nots.
One side is raising their children by putting them through the Wussmaster 3000 every night. These are the self-absorbed, whiny, self-entitled little cockholsters I loathe.
The other side is teaching them the lessons of responsibility and mental toughness. These are the self-absorbed, yet reasonable, responsible, effective ones I can tolerate.
I remember leaving the CS chamber and blowing snot and tears. I asked the DS if I could pour water in my eyes and he said “go ahead”, the peckerwood.
I will admit that I water up every time I hear TAPS even if it isn’t during a memorial. I’m going to a ball tonight so I’m sure that I will have an allergy attack when we toast fallen comrades. ughhh grog.
@69, minus the fact that my daughter would say “I love Justin Beiber” at the drop of the hat my kids sound a lot like that teenager minus trash talking also. My son and daughter are tough as kids get. They both grew up to their current age in Alaska and can’t believe how big of wussies their classmates are.
@66 – Those things aren’t even that visible in the photo gallery picture! I think I had them pretty well strapped down.
And yes, I’m sort of a tomboy anyway, and I tend to use a lot of foul language, and I drive like a guy (TSO won’t get into a car with me after the first time), so I can see how there would be confusion!
I should have said “current classmates”.
Twist, when parents teach their kids to be afraid of their own shadows, wuss is what you get.
Some of them snap out of it once they get away from those parents.
@72 Yea the trash talking was just him trying to keep up with his old man and myself I think, it was all good natured. Kid is respectful as all get out when we arent messing with him, I do believe we found out he had a crush on a girl on the day in question so we had to give him a little hell over it.
@76, got it, it sounds a lot like my family gatherings. Case to point, my brother-in-law and his son are both Bears fans and I am a Colts fan. You should have seen us during the Superbowl in Jan of 07.
@77 I bet that was one hell of a party. My daughter is 5 months old as of yesterday, and I made my wife a promise. She will know how to shoot, fight, curse, and general all round “boy” stuff from me, I do not want to raise a child that cannot be self sufficient. Momma plans on teaching the sewing, baking, canning and piano among other things that daddy cannot or will not teach (a.k.a. female business). We argue over who is going to teach her how to cook seeing as how we both worked in the resturaunt industry for years.
@78
She will know how to shoot, fight, curse, and general all round “boy” stuff from me
Wise decision considering how many girly men there are out there. A girl’s gotta know how to take care of herself now, more than ever.
#78 Let your bride do the teaching when it comes to the cooking. Works out better that way, you can teach her how to make some of the finer adjustments to the meal (seasonings for grilling etc.)
@78, My daughter turn 11 in the first week of May and she wants to go camping and Morel mushroom hunting for her birthday. She loves fishing, and baits her own hook, and shooting. She is a tomboy and daddy’s girl through and through, and her little brother is the same way. I will not allow my children to be sniveling, scared of their own shadows, helpless cowards.
All children should learn these things:
Basic cooking – you’ll never go hungry
Repairing clothing – another form of recycling
Fire starter and fire safety – you’ll always be warm and have a way to cook food
Shelter building – you’ll always have a roof over your head -watch primitive people build a shelter of branches and leaves – always ends up water-resistant and dry and the leaves will run water into a bucket or basin.
There’s always water some place.
Water safety – filter it, boil it, use a net to catch morning dew and run it into a container
If you’re lost, and it’s morning, find the sun to get basic directions. East is to the right at sunrise, west is to the left at sunset, north is ahead, south is behind. Also, watch the sky for airplanes, they generally move east and west or north and south.
Take a mirror for signaling SOS at airplanes if you get lost, and mark the trail behind yourself so you don’t go in circles.
And watch out for stobor. — Robert Heinlein 🙂
Ex-PH2, You forgot to add don’t date until you are 30.
Oh, so I did. Noted.
My son sure didn’t love the hurry up and wait part of the first couple of weeks of BMT, but he had a blast with the rest of it.
My daughter is leaving for BMT on May 21st and can’t wait. She is determined to beat her brother’s scores and make honor grad, and there will absolutely be NO crying! If her Russian ballet teacher and dancing on stress fractures can’t make her cry, no one can.
My parents were old school Germans, spare the rod spoil the child types…I arrived at Basic at Ft Dix in 1978 at age 19 after a year of construction work with my dad….Basic was a piece of cake, the discipline and language were much milder than what I grew up with….the military did further my sense of independence and increased my confidence two character traits I am forever grateful for receiving, my parents honesty and strength were reinforced during basic and later AIT at Ft. Benning…tough parents make tough kids…too bad so many of my part of the boomer generation are instant gratification weaklings…my kids were stuck with me, so they had no choice but to learn as I did….my daughter just finished 8 years as an MI analyst for Air Force, and my son owns and operates his own business after being injured during basic training and medically discharged….my grandkids are already learning there’s no time for bullsh1t at my house, you work, then you can play…and they love coming to my house because we get to play as hard as we work…the pool, hot tub, motorized toys are all the result of hard work ethic instilled at an early age and reinforced with service to country….you younger folks are doing the absolute right thing by teaching your children early to be tough and independent…there are far too many weak, ignorant buffoons already….stay tough and keep them strong!
I remember my first day of actual Basic in 2006. We were carrying everything we got issued at 30th AG up the hill, and then got into formation. I was one of the guys who shaved at 300 am not being able to sleep, and my head DS got inches from my face when we’re standing in formation yelling at me for having stubble. He basically said he would be all over me for all of OSUT. Long story short he had to attend some schooling about 2 weeks into our cycle, luckily I looked like another guy in my platoon, so he wasn’t around much. About graduation time he finally realized who I was, and said something about where the hell had I been(jokingly)? As 1 of our DS put it, I was the gray man.
As far as Bradley Manning… FOB Hammer was AWESOME(I was at COP Cahill… not so awesome). They had freakin Pizza Hut, a decent PX, actual toilets, HOTTTTT showers, a contractor run DFAC, and a freakin Iraqi restaurant that had good food. About the worst part about FOB Hammer was the long walk to get to places(BFD). To not only complain about being there, but to feel justified in sharing intelligence material because of how “bad” it was there deserves a real slow death.
I swear this is probably the hardest post I’ve ever done, took me (kid you not) 20 minutes and I kept erasing it so might as well grow some and post… —- While I’ve never done basic training I have to confess I’ve done a fair share of crying. But unlike Mrs “Screw my honor, dignity and I’ll just put tons of life in danger” Manning for me that’s just a physical reflex of my body saying “No, really, are we really going to keep doing this?” but thank God I’ve had a father that showed me just to push and tell myself “Yes we are, and you better cash this check too, because if not it’ll not be pretty” To this day I say it proudly, my parents showed me to be a cowboy and a gentleman, and while my mom is only 5″ 1′ she has and would thunder over me doing something not correct such as not being a gentleman, not doing what I’m supposed to and more importantly not defending the weak. So while to this day I ask myself if I’m completely and utterly idiotic for loving the US military (for those who are not aware I’ve been wrestling to become a US Citizen for a while renewing my work VISA over and over to be able to serve, that is my only intention, lame I know but what can you say about a mexican kid 16 years old that leaves in tears from the NAVY office when he is told he can’t apply to be SF as he is not a US citizen?) I rage at people like him, because they got a damn shot, that I realize now I will never get (I’m at the cut off age, for reserves) and not only wasted it but put their brothers and sisters in arms in danger. But then again, feel free to tell me to F%^& off as is technically not my country nor my military, but don’t expect me to not want to slap the crap out of breanna if I get a… Read more »
Since this is a G-rated site, this is the only photo that can be published showing Manning with bodily fluids dripping down his face.
@88 I just want to say that post was wonderful. I hope that, somehow, someway, your dream to serve comes true. Don’t give up.
@90 Pinto
Thank you, I try as hard as I can to help and while the only patch I can wear is a “Space shuttle door gunner” I use it proudly hell I guess is better than nothing 🙂
I’d like to also extend the invitation I usually tell anyone from the military I meet here, if you ever want IT Security Training, reverse engineering, SCADA, exploit creation, penetration testing, please do not hesitate to contact me, Jonn and TSO have my information, also if you would like to have a copy of pentesting magazine feel free to reach me as I get some digital copies for free when I write an article.
Thank you all for your service, for me in my mind I serve in the capacity I can, I just make sure I can make whenever I’m assigned now in critical infrastructure as safe as I can and hope is enough, like the song says:
That’s something to be proud of
That’s a life you can hang your hat on
That’s a chin held high as the tears fall down
A gut sucked in, a chest stuck out
Like a small town flag a-flyin’
Or a newborn baby cryin’
In the arms of the woman that you love
That’s something to be proud of
LostOnThemInterwebs
@91 You make people safe through IT Security Training and you make people better off through teaching; well that’s man to look up too and that can hang his hat proudly.
@88 — Well said!
Infantry OSUT and OCS are not events I’d like to repeat, but I’m better for the experience and those activities shaped my life forever.
@91 I appreciate your thanks; however, I’m a civilian, and can’t accept it in the spirit in which you meant it. Like you, I also love the military. I’ve had the honor of knowing some very fine soldiers, some as family, some as friends. that’s why I hang out here. And thank you for the offer of your area of expertise!
@ #88: Thank you for your contribution to the tapestry that is this United States. It really does take each of us doing whatever we do to make it all work. I just hope I live long enough to see us get through whatever this phase is we are currently in – with so many “adults” acting like they are toddlers or rebellious teenagers.
You ever see that episode of South Park where Cartman just cracks up whenever he see the midget they bring in to talk to the kids about hurtful language?
Cartman just breaks up whenever he sees the midget like he is the funniest thing he’s ever seen-yeah that’s the exact same reaction that I have to this picture.
Just found this:

I kid you not, they use the word hero to describe him/her. Unbelievable.
There’s precious little idiocy coming out of Sodom-by-the-Bay these day’s that’s unbelievable, Brewins. Teh stoopid is strong there.
It’s sad and instructive that there are many many immigrants to this country who love this country and its ideals and its armed forces more than native-born citizens who are nothing more than slugs, wastrels, and losers like Breanna and her ilk…”sigh”
People were dropped from the program in 1967 when I went into the Navy. There was a professed need for bodies to fill slots. The possibility of getting kicked out for being an idiot was much lower then.
I don’t understand the reason for keeping this waste of skin in the service any longer than the end of the first week if he really wanted out of it. It’s all-volunteer. There is no requirement to fulfill.
So what was the point of keeping this dickless wonder on the job and giving him a chance to do the damage he did? What was the point?
Who was the idiot that decided to keep an employee that wanted to leave the company? I would like to have a real serious opportunity to give the maroon that made that decision a piece of what’s left of my mind.
