    My team leader at Ft. Benning tried to get me with the box of grid squares. I brought him back a tactical map of Benning painstakingly cut along all the grid lines. Basically a box of one inch squares.

    When he got over the shock of someone taking the time to cut up a tactical map like that he asked me where I got the map from. That's when I told him it was his map from his desk. He was beyond pissed, but he, nor anyone else, screwed with me like that again.

    Now as far as things a trainer can use on a new driver.

    Changing the winter air for summer air in the tires.

    A muffler bearing wrench.

    Blinker fluid.

    A roll of fog line.

    And I'm sure I'll think of some more later.

    Please get off your imaginary soap box, go to the store and buy some type of product. You are way out of line with your imaginary sense of harassment.


    Some females seem to have no idea on fun over harassment, I am glad you know the difference. Some think that any sort of hazing, is all constituting harassment. It is those types that have no place, no business in this industry, over those females that know all too well it is done in fun and soon ends, becoming "one of the guys" and making it possible for the female worker to fit in and bust our chops on occasions which is just a part of life at ANY JOB where we have male/female mix.

    When someone cannot differentiate between bullying and harmless hazing, they ought not to participate in any discussion. Feel free to say as you wish, many others here have a sense of humor. We cannot and should not ever have to explain ourselves or comments to others.

    If someone cannot comprehend such "chop busting", they ought to move on, period.

    Some people become incredibly staunch good friends, and defend each other in time of need. All because the "chop busting" whether anyone believes it or not, draws them together, where they know they can do so in a friendly way, that NO ONE else ever can.

    Name them.

    And there's a big difference between losing a lawsuit and settling because it's cheaper than paying grease ball lawyers to fight a whiner.

    He or she won't last in this industry,too sensitive.If anybody would lose their job because of false judgement it would be the person making very wrong accusations like wyldhorses is doing.Companies don't have the time nor patience for it and neither does the law.
