Great drill sgt. He’s not very harsh. He’s clear, concise, efficient, direct. It’s chilling only if you come with the wrong attitude.

[@rawkguy4896]

I think its chilling even with the best attitude. Its honestly one of the best means of learning to handle anxiety and emotional control. You're getting screamed at by an extremely intimidating person and you have to remain as stoic as possible. Even in this video they called out one guy for making a pissed off face during PT.... But still lol even the most patriotic and passionate recruit is gonna be taken by surprise. There's no true way of preparing you just gotta jump in and adapt fast

[@thegrandlevel313]

@@rawkguy4896 I guess I mean with the attitude you described… To understand they are teaching you to handle anxiety and be able to keep your executive functions while fight or flight is kicking in. That nobody is actually going to hurt you in a way that isn’t good for you. The attitude of this is good for me, not patriotism or motivation or anything. It’s what’s kept me calm through everything. Translates to life. It’s all a test. Then you die. Next right thing. Next right thing. Take responsibility. Next right thing.

First off, when I did BCT at Ft. Jackson in 1977, we did not see a Drill Sargent until like, the third day. We had Corporals who were in charge of us. Rode in on a, “Greyhound,” type bus to a very nice, new, reception center that looked like a college dorm. The E-4s kindly guided us through getting our uniforms, shots, haircuts, etc. Everyone was Iike, hey, this ain’t so bad! Until the morning they loaded us up on cattle trucks and drove us out to the old pre WW2 barracks where…it all changed. The phrase, “chum to Sharks at a feeding frenzy,” come to mind. Our BCT company had eight Drills, two per platoon, a senior Drill, and maybe one or two more on staff. But that first day…I swear there were thirty! All in my face!

Advice for anyone going to boot. 1. LISTEN, ALWAYS LISTEN and do exactly what you're told. 2. Realize it's just a game of sorts. The point is to make sure you follow orders and slowly teach you the basics of military decorum and tradition. 3. You're going to fail exercises no matter how hard you try. BUT TRY 4. Don't clown around, ever. 5. When you're in the barracks at night, particularly the first couple weeks or so. ASSUME the Drill Sergeants are wandering around waiting for someone to start talking when lights go out. I had a drill sergeant dressed as a recruit catch us talking, told us we were dead in the morning. 6. Know that even when you don't mess up, you're going to get berated and exercised anyways. 7. The first couple of nights are the worst, if you get past that, the rest is easier. Not because it's tough per se, but because you realize what you just got yourself into and that reality hits hard. 8. Show effort at all times, it'll keep them off your back. 9. Know that Boot staff will purposely try to relax you in order to see if you all get too relaxed. So don't fall for it.

On the cattle car to old tank hill Cruz was staring at this DI with a dumbfounded look and our DI gave him a death stare and yelled out “ what’s the matter with you boy, you wanna f$ck me or something?” Cruz wanted to disappear and we made space around him in a hurry even in that hot dusty cattle car.

The thing is, you can only do as many push ups as your mucles will allow. Muscle fatigue is an option, but once your supervisor figures out you can't do anymore of 1 exercise, they change the exercise. Overhead arm claps are far worse than push ups. Just stay down, and do bad form push ups, that's the trick.
