Oh that happens. A big part of OSUT was excercises and duties that required us to work as a team, and that rewarded us as a team. Oddly enough, probably the most effective was barracks maintainance. Every morning, after PT and before chow, we had to clean not only our platoon bay but one designated common area.
This was something that, once shown the ropes, we were responsbile for. Trainee Platoon Guides and Squad Leaders assigned tasks, and we busted our butts to make sure our areas were perfect.
My job? Our platoon was assigned the laundry room. My job, as the skiniest person in the group, was to worm under the big wash basins and polish the drain covers. There were 12 of them, and I made sure that you could see yourself in each one.
