“I’m not from a military family so I don’t know what I’m getting into. I’m just really excited” You can only say that in the Air Force

[@GreyBlackWolf]

To be fair though. Only your higher ranking airmen would be infantry and they would get more training. The airforce focuses more on communications, intelligence, and other more technical fields. Their training doesnt require as much of the grueling stress that the marines do. It seems soft but its because what they mostly do doesnt require the hardcore psychological teardown and rebuild that the marines do.

[@ForkOperator]

@@GreyBlackWolf well that’s the problem of our current military. We’re trained to be soldiers first, job second. At your core principle, you should be taught to fight no matter what branch you are or the possibilities. Technology advances and I agree, that leaves more open space for non-contact combat (more reliance on drones, future combat bots, etc.). But with all that left and gone, it will still fall upon you. I don’t like the idea of a major war, but time has shown us it’s almost inevitable in every generation or century. Every soldier, regardless of branch should be ready to fight. At least that’s how I see it

[@forestbell4622]

It was a brutal obstacle course, but a lot of fun for us Army boys. We beat them every time. Our commanding officer told us that if we did not beat them, we would be on extra duty for the next two weeks. That was a great motivator. I saw some of the cadets crying. It was embarrassing. At that time I was 20 years old and some of these cadets are 17 or 18 years old.

They seemed pretty rough back then from what I heard. Although it probably differs between officers and NCOs. A mate of mine was in the RAF as a mechanic from 1977 to 2011.

He fired a round that made the barrel explode and a shrapnel nearly hit my mate. And the instructor well, beated the shit out of him with a golf club.

@@tri3852 absolutely not true, that did not happen. Especially not if he was in the RAF. No one was beaten with a golf club, no one’s rifle exploded.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, it really started on Friday when you met your real drill instructors who made it their lifes work to punish you for being alive for the next 3 months. All that to earn the title, then to earn the privilege to go to SOI and graduate as a rifleman to finally earn the right to fight your enemy in Iraq.

The point is to use every opportunity to accustomize and numb the recruits to overwhelming and extraneous sensory input. Thinking clearly and being able to focus on the important details in the midst of complete chaos is what keeps a squad of soldiers alive and wins battles when shit hits the fan. Their job is to try and fluster the recruits, it's not petulance. If you can't maintain discipline when a pseudo-aggressive superior officer is screaming at you in a safe environment, you're not going to be able to handle a warzone. Besides, it's easy to watch a video of someone screaming and laugh at it. It's different when they are actually up in your face, hold authority over you, and have backup.

[@toshley6192]

@Just another youtube account Following orders, focusing on your job, and making decisions under stress is part of any military job. Besides, in the toolkit that is the army, marines are the hammer. They've got big thick heads and approach every task the same way - by smashing it, while viewing the rest of the toolbox as superfluous. They can also take large amounts of punishment without complaint, but that's pretty much it lol. A hammer is an important tool, but a toolbox that has only hammers is a pretty useless toolbox.
