I will be in the 3rd BDE as of 06 January. Ill elaborate on the cutting my dick off remark. My class never got to do the swamp movement in Florida phase due to a low water table. The RI's decided to do an 8 mile road march instead, at an accelerated pace due to a dispute with the air force over training area. I believe it was day 5 or 6, and there was some unhealthy monkey ass rubbage in the crotch area. We all started the march and the damn enemy was spot on with their indirect fires. It was about mile 4 when I knew that something had to be done.

My best coarse of action was to cut my pants down the crotch about 8 inches. I pulled out my trusty knife and started stabbing and slashing the crotch out of my pants. At the time I didnt see a problem with operation crotchpain. In retrospect, Im glad there was no friendly fire given the heavy ruck, weapon, and lack of sleep. We arrived at our airfield and those pants never saw action again.

I got my EIB with 3 Panther.

When you get to 3 BDE, you need to do the 'Panther growl.'

Make a 'claw' with your hand and go 'ROWRRRR' to everyone you meet. Panther BDE does that instead of saluting. Just...trust me on that one.
