    I have been and saw others hugged by drill sergeants, they can read a bad letter on your face. Had one of your guys during infantry training break down screaming and balling his eyes out, our drill sergeants immediately grabbed him up and pulled him in to the office, brought him cigarettes and alcohol. He was in there for 3 days with the Chaplin visiting every day. His wife and 4 month old daughter had been hit by a truck running a red light and they both passed away. Drills aren’t there to be mean they are there to make you a good soldier or marine. They don’t want to hurt you, they want to harden you! But they very much take both the physical and mental health of their soldiers and marines seriously!

      True, when I was at AIT in 1999 Ft Lee, a soldier was brought to the office where I was cleaning, she was crying cause her mother was pulled out of her car and shot in the head n killed , it was a car jacking and the thief also committed murder. The drill sergeants were working really fast to get her out of training to fly back home, I felt so bad. The DS did not say anything negative of course. They worked on her paper work and she was off to the airport heading back home.

    I remembered being in BCT when I was 18 and all my drill sgts. were all combat veterans, they pt the living hell out of us everyday of the week until our final ruck march and I mean everyday except Sundays. I remembered the one drill sgt. Telling us “we didn’t force you to join the army, you volunteered yourself….you miss your family’s? Well the ones to your left and right is your family now.” In that moment the words he said resonated with me and I remember looking to my left and right realizing I wasn’t the only one suffering physically and mentally. These men besides me who endured the same punishment and hardships were now my family. The training felt less difficult and the pain didn’t really bothered me too much, the rain and cold became warmer and the hot weathers felt cooler. I dont know how to explain that feeling that day but it was something that stuck to me for a long time. They became my family and we all became close as one unit. On the last day before graduation the senior drill sgt. came to us and said “I don’t know if you’ll believe me privates or take it for what it is worth but out of all the groups of privates I’ve trained over the years you guys were the best group I’ve trained so far.” Then he left.
    Now I don’t complain much when I do hard labor work or task being in the civilian side of things I truly believe in teamwork a lesson I pick up from my SSG from my old unit that I became good friends with taught me this phase “Never tell someone to do something that you wouldn’t do yourself.” Ive never told anyone to do something I’ll never do myself neither in the army or civilian side. I was lucky enough to have met a lot of wise people before and after the military. I’ve taken those lesson to heart.

Within the first couple weeks, we all got smoked when 3 of our guys accepted pizza from a class near our bay that had just graduated (because they knew what would happen, of course), and that was bad enough. We’d also get it every so often if the DS’s were feeling froggy, but not always.

    In training I was picked to carry the guidon for my flight. During early weeks of training I wad standing at the position of attention with my staff and I remember in the Texas heat the staff would rub on the inside of where my thumb met my index finger it caused a large blister to form which was just extremely uncomfortable. I see my instructor walking around our flight as they fell into formation and I blurted out my reporting statement to my instructor. He let me speak and I told him about my problem of the blisters forming on my hands and it was painful trying to see if there was something we could do to mitigate the discomfort. He look at my hand and back at my face and in a very calm tone said to me "trainie, some men can't even hold that staff anymore because of what they sacrificed." That was it never spoke about it again

    Had a girl who was hated by the entire unit in basic. She had this superiority complex and attitude. Constantly talked about her struggles and how tough she is even though the area she lived in wasn't nearly as bad others in her state where a lot of us lived in. Was running the gauntlet and got to the rappelling portion of it where everybody was freaked out and had deathgrips on the line. She made it up there alongside me and freaked out and was balling her eyes out, and the drills being drills just berated her. It took me and one other soldier doing it alongside her and motivating her and yelling with the drills to get her to rappel. After them she was crazy humble and before getting out I saw her at my unit with an air assault patch on. We talked and she talked about how she was attempting to go into psyops. I really didnt do much in my time nor did I get promoted to E5 but overall im happy to have been an impact on the lives of those ive met and I still visit my unit once a month or so too see if they need anything. Still supply them with razors and stuff for deployments too for all the single guys. I hated the leadership of my unit but the Joe's, especially with us being mechanics, we gotta have each other's backs to deal with shitty leaders. Hell even at my lowest moments on deployment when I stopped eating and only focused on work and correcting the battalion benchstock it was my friends that forced me to slow down eat and recommended and me for an award having not received one but 2 and a coin. Good times, I still miss deployment.

      @LionKimbro Před měsícem +2

      What do you do when you can’t do more push ups? I know that if I do something like 10 or 11 push-ups (with my body absolutely rigid, like a plank, not bending my back the slightest, purely relying on my arms to lift my body up,) there are just no more push ups left. I can imagine if I did this regularly, I could get to maybe two or three dozen push ups. But that’s just 36. But past whatever a person’s breaking point is, I don’t know how it is possible to do even more push ups. So my genuine question is, what happens when the sergeant commands you to do more push ups, and your body has zero give left? I can maybe imagine doing one more pushups, and collapsing mid push up or something, but THEN what? Are you supposed to say something or declare something? Are you supposed to do something else? What is the honorable thing to do? I always wonder this.

      Some people will just pretend that they’re outputting 100%, I’ve done the same thing sometimes when I was just too tired. But yeah, you just stay there until they tell you to stop. It’s usually group PT, so it can be easier to get away with. Typically though, people usually come to basic being able to do more than 10 pushups 😅

    My mom died about 6 months before I started basic at Ft Benning. I was also 17 years old. I never brought it up, but I lost it one day during training and my Senior Drill Sergeant got pissed and brought me and my battle buddy into his office to rip me up. I told him why I was crying and he stopped being mad immediately. Stood up from his desk, told me to stand at ease, dismissed my battle buddy and put a hand on my shoulder.
    He told me how proud he was of me for still going through this process so soon after losing my mother and that he would be taking a personal interest in me for the rest of my time there. He reminded me that didn't mean I'd get special treatment at all (and I sure didn't), but that I'd be held to a higher standard to make sure when I graduated it would make my mom proud.

    The first part is to get you into a receiving mode. Instructions must be followed without hesitation or failure.
    The group punishments and individual smoke sessions are just there to negatively reinforce your perspective on failure. You will see non-compliance as a painful experience; analogous to failure to fulfill a goal or task for the mission.
    It's also because they have limited time to convert their average civilians into soldiers/Marines/airmen/sailors into members of a unit. If you played team sports and/or have a generally fit background, you will survive recruit training barring any issues with authority or injury.

But they would sit us down on occasion and ask us how we thought about certain topics. Like war and stuff. Sometimes it was way more lighthearted like talking about peeing in hot moms butts. I have nothing but fond memories. A memory burned in my head is when our senior drill told us to be like Spartans, meaning fight like hell and train like your life depended on it. Then when you were at peace or had a moment alone then you could mourn your losses. Still keep that mentality 14 years into my career.

    DI’s are meant to break you in a controlled manner so that the pieces left can fit cohesively into a more disciplined and stronger individual. Controlled is the key word. There is a time for the stick and a time for the carrot and good DI’s effectively use both. My DI noticed I looked like someone had shot my dog, so he took me aside and we talked. Afterward, I found renewed motivation and when he coined me at graduation, I’ll never forget the words he told me.
    But if a trainee breaks utterly and uncontrollably just from basic training alone then that’s an indication that they shouldn’t be in the military. We had a guy like that who was away from his family and girlfriend for 3 weeks and couldn’t take it. He got discharged, and rightfully so. If that little is what he couldn’t take, we can’t trust him with far larger things in far more stressful situations.
    Basic is the easiest time you’ll ever have in the military. All you’ve gotta do is exactly what they say.

    The only time I cried throughout all of my training was the first time I passed my PT test, I'm a tall lanky guy, terrible cardio and spindly arms so the 2 mile run and pushups gave me a lot of trouble, not to mention being exhausted all the time. I failed my first two tests in basic and if i failed the third one I was going to be recycled. I paced my run with a buddy and made it by 10 seconds, crossing the finish line completely unable to breath. But it was when I did my pushups that I actually cried. I remember pushing so hard I thought my triceps were going to snap, I did 2 more than was required, collapsed on my face and started crying uncontrollably because I knew I had finally passed and my arms hurt

As a matter of checkable Fact, Drill Sergeant, or Drill Instructor is no longer allowed to order an enlisted Man or Woman to perform any longer than one minute of continuous Push-Ups as a punishment. Of course, some "creative" Drill Sergeants will have a Trainee perform the one minute of continuous Push-Ups, wait 15 seconds, and then order the Trainee to perform another one minute round of continuous Push-Ups.
