<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="77973" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/77973-25u-signal-support-systems-specialist">SGT Private RallyPoint Member</a> my BCT was there and one DS went mad when he heard a Private mentioning the "relaxing" word. In my case, I went to Basic being 31 years old, I was older than all my PLT DS, I didn't offer any "fun" to them so I was pretty much invisible there. For me, yes, it was Relaxing Jackson.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I did as many pushups at Relaxing Jackson as I could have anywhere else, I saw no difference in PT scores from Jackson BCT graduates than I saw from Benning graduates.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It sure wasn't "Relaxin' Jackson" when I was there in the late '80's. Our day room was soaked in sweat after the numerous smoke session; I excelled in doing pushups facing a downhill slope. <br /><br />That being said, I'm not sure what it's like for today's soldiers going through BCT.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It wasn't relaxing when I went through Basic Training on Tank Hill, maybe for those cats in what we use to call Hollywood yes!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depending on what you went through when you went through Basic/AIT/OSUT, then possibly. I know it is an absolute cakewalk to my OSUT experience, so I can say that, in my view, it is indeed, Relaxin' Jackson.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My girlfriend went, and they never even got issued rucks; they had assault packs. Going through FLW doing 20k+ rucks with 50lbs, my view is a little skewed, but come on! Assault packs? Oh and the pizza party at the end of their "blue phase". They got it rough.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As DS there in 94-97 I will say it was not as strenuous as my Boys to Men camp at FORT Benning in 1985. Though I can assure you, Aco 1-28 was not contributing to the term "Relaxin' Jackson"<br />Today? no idea....and why I voted maybe.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It wasn't when I was there in 93, omg I was the 'smoke monster' (must have been my big mouth) but I did not consider it 'relaxing' by NO means...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My time at Charlie 1/28 (Black Lions lead the way!) in Oct-Nov of &#39;04 was in no way relaxin. We had, from what I can remember, a SpecOps-sniper, a tough-as-nails 11b, and an artillery specialist for DS&#39;s. They made life he&#39;ll. But I would not have traded them for anything.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, but I don&#39;t know why! I was Bravo 1-13 and it was tough! I dug 4 two man fighting positions (deliberate). I qualified while a hurricane was coming through.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends what battalion you&#39;re in. I was in 2-60 bco. We barely PTed and being a coed class everything was PGish.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From my time in the military I feel all bases are relaxing too much bct was made to tear you down and build you up not protect your emotions
