The thing I love about drill instructors is when you watch them, they tell you everything you need to know and how to do it. And from the outside looking in you can hear, understand and empathise with drill like, wtf just do what he says. But when you're in the moment and it's being yelled at you and your nerves get in the way from thinking and hearing clearly you understand what the training is for.

I remember my DI when I was a new recruit. He was hella loud and strict. After I finished my service, I bumped into him at a mall. He was happy to see me alive and well. Surprisingly, he was very soft spoken. I asked him was he always like this before his service and he said he was only loud and strict in service since it was a matter of commanding your recruits.

[@sammoon2906]

Whats even more amusing is that rack isn't there for demonstrating, it's some recruits home. I guarantee that recruit got disciplined for this reporter's failure to make that rack. As this was being filmed, said recruit was confident in his rack making skills, then got back to barracks, with Grenados waiting..."RECRUIT! WHAT IN THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY RACK?""Sir, it was in proper condition when this recruit left it, SIR!""ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR, RECRUIT?!?! ARE YOU SUGGESTING *I* FAILED TO INSTRUCT YOU ON HOW TO PROPERLY SECURE A RACK?!?!?"

[@sammoon2906]

stan broniszewski​​​ He can't punish the reporter, at least, not in the sadistically pleasing way he punished the recruit. My guess is that recruit remade that rack in a proper, squared away, USMC fashion, then slept on the floor, then mopped the barrack floor to decontaminate it from the recruit's filth. That's USMC boot, Grenados knew full well that rack would look like a disaster after the reporter "squared it away", and he sure as shit wasn't going to make it for the recruit, nor was he going to tolerate a fucked up rack in his barrack. It was a learning experience for both the reporter, and the hopeful Marine, she learned the PG version of how USMC boot works, the recruit learned that he is responsible for the care, and proper treatment of every item of gear the Commendant saw fit to issue him, no matter if he was present or not.

Secret of the pros....take your boot straps and connect them under your rack from side to side. Sleep on top of the covers. When u wake up, aside from a little tidying, your rack is tight and made up already. Also buy zip loc storage bags. So when they toss your footlocker all over the deck all your gear is still neatly inside your marked bags. Everyone else is trying to find their crap while you are chillin.
