    My experience with a Drill Instructor was in 1971, I was a wise guy, with a quick wit. I was asked what I thought of a Drill Instructor, my reply was "Sir, I think that the senior Drill Instructor nuts, and off his meds". What in hell did I sat that for, they rode my ass for a solid week, none stop. Round two came when, again I was asked the same question, my reply this time was "I think all Drill instructors are off their meds, this time, the platoon run up and down a hill until chow was served. I survived the ordeal, graduated top of my class, after graduating, my instructor finally show his huma side, he targeted me to get a rise out me, but instead, he got a laugh from my comments. He was the instructor that I emulated for the rest of my career. my motto, that I learn from my father was "Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash".

    Call me crazy, but bootcamp was the most fun I've ever had in my life. I stuck to a strict schedule, was working out, eating good, sleeping good (from being constantly tired), and given a sense of purpose. Met some cool ass people from all around. Being constantly sick was a massive pain though. It literally sounded like a hospital at night. Nonstop coughing all throughout the night
    Also, you get used to the yelling REAL quick.

    Man 2:27 is such a reminder of the night after my Army graduation ceremony, and the night before our family day. It’s the first time our Drill Sergeants sat and actually talked with us, like a friend, like men. We got to pick his brains about certain things, sat in the bay with us until 3am, he was on duty. We were all awake and too excited to sleep, all we had to do was wake up for PT and then had family day the next day, so we just chilled, talked with them and cleaned mostly.
    I dont know how to explain it, but sitting and talking all night with the men that we were all so terrified of, yet respected so much, like friends with a mutual respect, was such a good feeling man. It was awesome. Felt so accomplished.

He ran pace with me for a few seconds and then in a real quiet voice only I could hear went, Private you seriously going to let an old man like me beat you in front of your Drill Instructors? You know what will happen to you if you do. I said SIR NO SIR, picked up the pace like the devil himself was after me with a pitchfork and beat him across the finish line.

I'm proud of them both. My son introduced us to one of his hardest instructors who was just the nicest guy. My son was bragging about how tough the guy was. He had told my son that he was also a farm boy and made hay so I challenged the instructor to come up to our farm in the middle of summer and make hay with my wife. She was 118 soaking wet but could bale hay like no other. My wife and the instructor had a good laugh together. Nice guy... tough instructor. My son is still in touch with him years later...

I ran out crying, literally. The closest I ever came to losing my temper when my vision cleared up and I saw him laughing. This one guy that was hard as nails broke down in the squad room.
    Best part: I got sick and had to spend a month in quarantine. When I was recuperating they made me guide, so I got to play the role of leader and give out some much needed support, advice and encouragement to those that had lost hope. This one recruit had completely given up and was about to drop out. When none of the drill sergeants had any luck changing his mind, I went over and convinced him to honor his oath, and stay. He agreed, and went back to training. That's still one of the best feeling I've ever experienced to this day.

    When you go in, you are definitely very naive. I was 19. But the end desired result is always the same. They have to be able to count on you in any situation 24/7. When you are overseas you are an ambassador to the United States.. and expected to behave as such. They are really hard on you because they want the best out of you. Better to wash you out early if you can't cut it. What did you expect? A vacation? LOL. Recruit training is a wake-up call. I worked with a guy that went through Parris Island in the mid-60s. He said 2 weeks there, and he was ready to be sent to Vietnam just to get away from Parris Island

    When I was in basic, when other recruits would say they didn't think they could make it, I would say, "They can't kill us. It's against the law." In other words, I was just trying to jokingly tell them the physical pain will end one day, that's the easy part. We just had to survive the mental games. That's how they beat you down. Don't let them.

      It always amazed me how so many of the recruits failed to see the fuck fuck games for what they were. SDI picked one person out for not yelling loud enough and made the entire platoon do mountain climbers in the squad bay for an hour? You can bet your ass that most of the platoon were going to hate that dude and treat him like shit, even though it was pretty obvious that he was yelling as loud as he could and the SDI was going to fuck with us either way.

    One piece of advice that my brother got before he shipped off to boot camp from his recruit was to think of the DIs of this: The more they yell at you and give you a world of hell the more they want you to exceed in life. This type of discipline teaches you how to stay calm under pressure and to walk away from things. My brother used to be a quick fuse and would get defensive before he joined the marines. After wards he was a completely different person and more level headed. It changes you for the better!
