I got a punishment from my class instructor. I have to write a certain sentence 1500 times. In my case it is "I will never go anywhere without a battle buddy"
Well does anyone know any tricks on how to make it easier on me. by the way it has to be done so it looks if I done it by hand.
......just in case you wondering - this is for my US ARMY drill sargeant. yeah I am a specialist at the ARMY.

first of all you must start writing.

#1: Sorry mate but I've got connections to the Navy.
#2: If your drill sergeant wanted to he could have them forensically examine the document to make sure you did every single one by hand. If you want to pull off a forging with them then you better have a damn good computer program for this!
#3: There should be some reason why your drill sergeant is making you write out "I will never go anywhere without a battle buddy" all those times. If it's for punishment: suck it up. If it's part of everyone's training: ditto. If he's just an idiot: ditto ditto. Simply put: ditto ditto ditto.
((update)): Now that I think about it Helmut is absolutely right. I mean what regular Army person, male OR female, would even have the time to write that out 1500 times? Time is so structured in the armed forces as I've seen myself and almost every minute of your day somehow contributes to your training and well-being. And access to the internet including the possibility of access to IM? Come on now, the armed forces can't be that watered down these days, we still have NamVet's in those kinds of positions these days in some cases and I have 2 second cousins serving in the Army right now and they've never gotten access to email or IM for that matter. I know that some people in the armed forces will use the ethernet to communicate with their families with a voice and picture feed but still I totally agree with the statement that there's no way you could be in the Army and besides, a soilder would write it out anyways and be honest about it, lying while in uniform is a very grave mistake that no one in the armed forces wants to make.

Specialists don't have Drill Sergeants. I'll wager the closest you've been to the Army is a TV commercial.

That sucks man. The only thing I can think of is asking your buddies to give you a hand with it. Pass it around to a few guys and it'll get done alot quicker. They should be more than willing to help you out, if the aren't then they're blue falcons.
Ivan has a good point, Just be glad you get to use the internet in basic training or ait, none of us got that privledge.

Well, quit being lazy and just start writing them. Isn't that hard and you may actually learn something by doing it. Is called discipline and doing what is right when no one is looking. And oh by the way, you may be thinking that I am in the army too, that is correct, I am a 1SG currently serving in Iraq. Enjoy your sentences.

Perhaps , you should ask if you can do 1500 pushups instead. 50 every time you see him.
If not, start writing! I'm sure you deserve it.
Damn, Drills have gotten easy on the recruits.

well I would say just start writing dont pass it around to battles you will get in more trouble doing that than just knocking it out. Do it yourself is the best way, I know I tried the pass it around method.

::sigh::....why not just accept the punishment and get it over with? You went somewhere without your battle buddy, it pissed your instructor off, so just write the friggin' lines. What's the need to "get over" on him?
And before you get all pissed off about it, I left my M-16 on the cleaning table in basic training one day at the range when they called my name for mail call. The drill sergeants disassembled my weapon, and I had to low crawl from one drill sergeant to the next to get all the parts back. I never left my weapon unattended for the remainder of my career.

Tape two pencils together, that should cut your time down to half. You could try three pencils but that wont look as authentic.

i think you should write it since it was your punishment. other wise find three buddies to write it five hundred times. or five buddies to write it three hundred times.
