is the army like it is on movies? you have to scream YES SIR or they make you clean the floor with a toothbrush?

LOL, the military has a level of discipline that changes with the environment. If person forgot to pay his respects to the officer in charge, he will more than likely be made an example of. However unlike hollywood, in the middle of battle, not having said 'sir' or 'sgt' during a gun fight isn't exactly gonna get you punished.

Believe me, hollywood war and real war are NOT the same. Here is an example...in the movies someone gets shot in the head, they still manage to struggle for what little bit of life they have for those few seconds. The insurgent whom I witnessed got shot in the head...went down like a rag doll INSTANTLY! :-({|=

Explosions have a lot more punch than in the movies no matter how loud you turn the volume up on your stereo...and you can feel the damn heat. :sunny:
