I never had a DS get physical with me, but a couple guys got black eyes...that was in 1971 and these guys were real screw ups. Once when we were getting punished as a group, a trainee yelled out, "Mother f**king drill sergeants!" He thought he was in the background and wouldn't get caught...he got caught. I was glad because I knew we would all catch hell, and I was having enough hell.

This is a true story that happened with me: I enlisted at the age 17 for the Army. I was a junior in high school so I had to do split op. Basic between me junior and senior year, then A.I.T. after I graduated. I went to basic at Ft. Sill. One of my drill Sgt.s was named T. Jackson. Well I felt the Drill Sgt. paid extra attention and focus on me since I was the youngest in my platoon. At the time being young and stupid I thought he was purposely singling me out. So I devised a plan to leave. Again, I want to point out I was young and stupid. I discussed my plan with a few of my friends and it got back to Drill Sgt. Jackson. He told me:" I heard you were leaving? There ain't no fences, but when you get caught your ass is mine" That night I decided to put my horribly inexperienced and executed plan in to motion. They had our personal belongings in a room locked up. I tried kicking the door in but failed. I went to the drill sgts office and tried picking his lock. He had a Charlotte Hornets sweatshirt he loved hanging on the wall. I ended up getting his door open and grabbing the swearshirt. (So i can blend in. ) it was june and hot so i ripped the sleeves off and threw it on with my pt shorts and shoes. I took off outside and to the railroad tracks located next to Charlie battery. Now I did not know Ft.Sill or Lawton well. This was only 16 days in.( I was in receiving for 5 days then we went to actual boot camp. ) I walked the tracks to Lawton and came across a shopping mall. I walked around it knowing I was now in some deep sh*t. I found a water park that was just opening for the day and went up to it. I had my bank card so I was just going to stay there until i figured out how to get home. Well an M.P. from Ft. Sill was taking his family to the water park noticed me. He made a b line to me and asked me if I was in the service. I thought there is no way he could tell because I have on a sleeveless sweatshirt and shorts. I blend in. Apparently not. He asked and I wasn't going to lie. Would have done no good since he recognized the shirt being Drill Sgts prized signed shirt. I never noticed it was signed until i took it off. He asked me what I was doing and I told him. He was nice and said he didn't want to make a scene but i needed to get in his car. He took me back to base and to the senior drill Sgts office and I explained my thoughts. Then came drill Sgt Jackson. He came in snd and with one hand picked me up and slammed me to the wall. He then made me go back with him to the barracks and into his office. I then donned a gas mask and did so many push ups, sit ups, squat thrusts, that I lost count. I would do 10 extra everytime he said rest just in defiance. He told me he was not pressing charges if I stayed in and would make recommendation that i would not be discharged. He broke character and discussed that he wasn't doing it out of harm or anger, but to strengthen me. I had to eat with him and the other drill Sgts with a bib and he put a top bunk on my bunk. Which i had to sleep in. He also, made it where I had a bunk mate who was responsible for knowing what i did at all times. That went on for 5 weeks and I was smoked every day for 5 weeks then it just stopped. Everything went back to normal. I didn't ask questions, but I scored the highest in my P.T. tests and was the fastest runner in the entire base. After graduation, I sent him a check for the sweatshirt and he returned it saying his payment was my improvement and dedication. To this day I consider him one of the most influential people I have ever known, and only knew him 9 weeks.

When I was in USMC bootcamp in the 1990's I was slapped in the face a few times. Regardless of what happened, I never let the DI know that he got me. I learned early on that they were looking for the reaction, the power a recruit/private has is not giving them the reaction they want. The mindset you must have is that they are not doing it to you, but somebody else. If you take it personal you become a marked man. If you show emotion or displeasure, they will make it their mission to take you down.

People in general need to quit acting like every slight or insult is a life changing attack on their honor. We ain't samurai, death matches are retarded, and some folks need to drop the ego. I think it's somewhat sad that two men can't just have a scrap to settle their grief, but I get what you're saying.

First day in BCT I got dropped with one other female (i don't remember why, I think we looked at each other on accident or something) and the drill Sgt was riffing on us, saying we were disrespectful little sh*ts. I kept my mouth shut and did pushups like I was supposed to coz I'm not an idiot. The other female however... She stood up when he insulted her somehow and said "Excuuuuse me, I-" ...And I will never know what she had to say because IMMEDIATELY the other two drill sgts and the one that was already on her were shouting so loud, her face shriveled into her head, and they completely forgot all about me. She opened her mouth again, and one of them grabbed her by the collar and threw her face into the dirt, where she started doing push ups with angry tears in her eyes. It was hilarious. And she never back talked again.

[@jerrycohencohen8901]

I would have played to watch that.

[@isildurelendurion1822]

And if she had been male? Wonder what would have happened?

[@Cixtrist]

@@isildurelendurion1822 oooh, good question. Female trainees didn't tend to get physically defensive with non female Drills... Never that I saw. Had the trainee been a male he probably would've had his face in the dirt much faster... Had it been a female Drill though? with the way the female trainee stood up and spoke at them??? I wouldn't be surprised if that trainee had tripped into the drill Sgt on the way to the barracks... And somehow sustained enough injury in her fall to be medically discharged. Or could have healed but still gone on to "fail to adapt" over the coming weeks, and been discharged by those standards... As a female, Male drills would fvck up your day. Female drills would fvck up your life. I'd imagine it's a similar reverse for the males.

Last in-ranks inspection before they cut us loose, Drill Sergeant Stio told me I was squared away and said, "Harris?!? Who are you, boy? I don't remember seeing you at all the whole cycle!" I answered that I had a mission to keep a low profile. "Mmm hmm, and that's the secret, ain't it?" Yes, Sergeant!

We had a few hispanic Drill Sgts in my basic training at Ft. Knox and one of them was born in the US, lived in the US his whole life, but had an accent so damn thick none of us could understand a word he said when he got angry. We also had a big southern guy as a Drill Sgt. He was TALL and that made him ridiculously intimidating. If he was yelling at you, it was about enough to make you piss your pants. Toward the end of baic that tall Drill Sgt had overnight duty and his daughter brought him dinner. She was really good looking, especially to a bunch of guys that hadn't seen a woman in almost 2 months, but one of the guys was actually dumb enough to catcall her. It took about half a second before we heard his size 14 jump boots pounding up the stairs as he called for us to fall in. He put us in the front leaning rest for 15 minutes straight while he chewed our asses for disrespecting not just a woman, but his daughter. By the time he was done we were all shaking from the strain. The guy that catcalled her was persona non-grata for the rest of basic.

I spent 4 years as a Marine Corps Drill Instructor, and many times my career was on the line. That day I more then would of lost my career. Even if this kid said it to another Drill Instructor, I still would of more then lost my career that day. I'll be damn if that happened to any Marine DI.

Drill Instructor, I truly understand your feelings. Wearing the Hat means having the credibility to back it up. Some not-too-smart wannabe is less than nothing next to the men and women who keep our military staffed, strong, and ready. It is sad that more and more young people leave home without maturity and discipline. Fortunately, incentive training and quarterdecks are still very effective. Many thanks for your service.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪

[@jasonlisonbee]

You would believe that whomever won any fight is in the right. The fact that playing along with someone would help you in a fight along side him or his other recruits does not mean that he isn't likely to be in charge of a troop against his own neighbors if ordered. If a man calls out his boss, his boss just as likely deserves it. Being the tougher guy or the one in the in charge position does not make one the better person more worthy of or automatically at all of respect.

@@messrsandersonco5985 Age and experience are decoupled. Unless you count time being distracted by things that don't affect you but that person's wants should, because of their higher existence period number, always override the sense of duty of those who spent most of their time listening to experts on how the world works and how to solve problems without restricting or shoving people around against their will. Reality restricts. Some only happen to notice when someone makes a move toward creating abundance in something, then blame and force that person to stop under threat of teams of other people who don't care about that person's perspective only that someone appeared to be disrespected by them.

@@jasonlisonbee This sounds like mumbo jumbo from self-help books. We respect our elders and we hope to learn from them - not least of all because they went through the war years. Look around and see how seniors are treated in the US - where 40 is considered 'old'. We had a PM who was 93 and years old. He was as bright as pin, and spoke far better English than your current President even though it was his second language. My advice to you: join the marines and find out what respect means.

I was in Navy boot at Lakes in 1969. My CC was a really tough assed guy that acted and reminded me of Sgt Carter in Gomer Pyle. He was short, stout and powerful. He said he was part negro and part Navajo and he was tough. I got hit in the chest once and it was like a pile driver hit me. It drove me about 6 feet back which caused another punch since he told me I hadn't been told to leave yet. We regularly got slapped around and punched by our CCs back then. I can't imagine calling him anything but "SIR"!
