so few of you have probably heard these...
"it smells like peaches and ass in here!"
"that's not a string hangin' offa your uniform, that's a damn rope!"
"i'll recycle your ass all the way back to meps!"
"chowrunner go!"
"dorm rat!"
apparently you can't be a basic training instructor and say something without yelling it. that would defeat the purpose.

as i do on occasion, i've been reading government regulations on our drinking water again. i'm preparing to do a video on how evil bottled water is and how benevolent and wonderful tapwater is by comparison. i noticed a pattern i'd like to share with you.
21 cfr 165.110, subsection 4, allows some pretty ugly limits in what can be in that bottled water. oh, and it's full of stuff that can kill you. here is a table of the allowed contaminants, measured in milligrams per liter. they add up to 283 mg/l. my apologies for the poor formatting herein. excel sucks donkey balls.

1 advil pill is 200mg. so picture about one and a half advils full of poison, explosives, and cancer agents in every liter of bottled water. it's allowed!
let us examine what you're drinking in more detail:
flouride is a negative ion of flourine. the regulation does not specify which ones are allowed; therefore any flourides are fair game. flourides are used as pesticides and fumigants, to separate uranium isotopes u-235 and u-238 apart, and in nuclear fuel reprocessing. some are toxic, some cause pain or even bone fractures, and dental flourosis in children.
arsenic is used in pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides. it's a deadly poison to humans. it causes blindness, confusion, headaches, convulsions, changes in fingernail pigmentation, diarrhea, vomiting, blood in the urine, cramps, hair loss, stomach pain, and comas. oh yeah... and death.
styrene (aka vinyl benzene) is a suspected carcinogen and toxin to the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and respiratory system. the epa and dhhs are currently evaluating styrene's cancer-causing potential and toxicity. it is known to lead to lethargy, memory deficits, headaches, and vertigo.
antimony is toxic and resembles arsenic in its affects on humans. it also causes dermatitis, kidney and liver damage. antimony is used in flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, small arms and buckshot ammunition, solder, and glass.
pure barium is never found in nature because it reacts chemically to the atmosphere. it's used in the production of rubb
