Gonzalo was worried. The coal, and sounded like re he'll. Let all the next morning she contacted reveals recruit our shared. Her concerns stay. in no one knows my son's voice better than may that didn't sound lock. My son. the recruiter reassured her that all was fine. He'll had arrived safely at the bags. He just said

that strange because he'd been rating the script that all recruits had to follow when they first called home and only had a few seconds to do it. But Gonzalo said davy couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong when were he'll sedate. He arrived at paris, ireland, alongside around four thousand other, recruit slide on Monday march.

Even the extremely fit recruits founded excruciating One later told journalists degenerate right, men of the new york times that authority would pass out. Another recruit had a panic attack and started. Vomiting at first offices was supervising from the back of the room after they left. The drill instructors only intensify their training. The next move at seven twenty. I am the recruits

ready they not been training for several hours. When re he'll said, davy reported that he wanted to die. He's instructors pushed back against this asking him. What he's mother would think you ve left before finishing training, we're here I applied until my mother, good, bye and kill myself. The future does not matter. This recruit is going to kill himself. He David figured out how he would do it. He would jump from the squad bay window.

Sir what's targeted for their personal attributes, such as their ethnicity, drill. Instructors themselves, when immune from abuses are You d eyes would often yell at their subordinates who, in turn to their anger around recruits after gunnery sergeant Joseph Felix shouted at one day. I he began screaming at he's, recruits to the extent that he became sick and vomited across the floor.

Whenever a heel, sedate keys, platoon mates noticed that re he'll seemed baffled by being asked to follow, orders. following orders was crucial to being in the moraines but rehab. Seemed to query why he was being told to do certain things. He's platoon I wondered why he had enlisted and delighted the new york times.
