re: Spinoff Vets and Active Duty Personnel What's the Funniest Thing you saw a DI do

I had one drill Sgt, by the name of Drill Sgt. Wallace. imagine a skinny version of Louis Gossett Jr from "An Officer And A Gentleman" with an under bite (think Bubba from Forrest Gump) and a freaking lisp. Yes, this man had a damn lisp. And it was not a minor lisp. This was a lisp like he was the offspring of an unholy union of Lou Holtz & Sylvester the Cat. Literally everything he said was both hard to understand & funny as hell all at the same time. The only problem was if you so much as cracked even a slight grin in his presence, he'd smoke you "like a cheap cigar". He called me Pvt. "Bithcwut Hed" (biscuit head) the entire time I was at Ft. Knox. Got me every damn time.

The thing I remember most was holw cold it was in the morning when we'd fall in for PT at 0400 but by 1100 it would be almost Alabama hot.

I'm guessing by your username you were a medic, right?

Gotcha. You did your basic over on the other side of post from the Armor school then went to Ft. Sam Houston, right? That's where medics do their AIT if I remember.

Good luck. Going for your E6?
I was over on the other side of post in the Disney Barracks at the Armor School. I remember one Sunday our drill's loaded us on the cattle trucks and took us over to y'alls side of base because our little PX was closed and we could not get haircuts. I actually saw a few females which at the time (I'd been there like 8 -10 weeks) was like seeing a unicorn or something.

Suspected laughers were pulled into the DI hut by 3 DIs and interrogated but denied strenuously. To further test the recruits, one DI did some kind of booga dance to which all suspects broke into laughter, and were then thrashed forthwith.

Had many fun times at ft. Sam.
Watching your fellow soldier medic giving himself an iv on Saturday night before recall formations were epic. Of course the ambulance came countless times

This wasn't a "thing" so much as a situation... My battery at Sill was competing in the D&C thing in Basic and there was this super shite-bag.. "PVT. Poor" (hand to God that was his name) and he couldn't March for shite.
Drill told him to "go to sick call tomorrow, Pri... Or else"
The a-hole came back on crutches with a profile later that day with a no PT profile. Drill asked him, "WTF Pri?! Why the frick are you on crutches?!" And Poor said, "I told them that I hurt my knee and they tested my movement and I said "Oww!" a lot and they gave me these.."
Drill made him do PT in the bay before bed check. He would run for 20 min, and do MSE for 25 every night before bed when we had "comm. time" (mail call, writing/reading letters, etc)
It was pretty funny.

I think there is always a recruit like that in everyone's platoon.
We had one that I never saw do pt. had stress fractures and used crutches the whole time. Rumor was one of the drill sergeants had to fire for him when it came time to fire the m16's.
He had a real strange obsession with Afghanistan, ied's, and I was able to convince him, I was in the CIA.
Somehow he passed the pt test went to ft. Lost in the woods to be a combat engineer. But I think he hurt himself when he operated a buffer.

The mount siribachi game was greatness. Guide, & squad leaders recreated the picture on top of all the emptied footlockers with sand and water poured all over them. DI sprints from across the squad bay and rips the guidon out our hands. We all topple over and he shoves the guidon stick with a pair of skivvies with a skid mark right under our punk guide's nose. DI asks guide "why is there a skid mark in my skivvies?"
Guide says "recruit don't know sir." DI makes the standard statement about recruit don't know and asks who they belong to. They call the nasty arse over and the drill instructor asks him and they go through the recruit don't know game again. And another DI starts thrashing the two of them on the quarterdeck.
DI asks who the squad leader is. Recruit Paco_Taco is the answer. I'm asked why Haar has skid marks in his skivvies. I say, "it's because recruit Haar doesnt know how to properly wipe his arse, sir!"
I broke DI's bearing. It was greatness for about 3 seconds.
Then I hear, "is that right recruit? Well guess what? Your his squad leader. So his lack of shite removal skills is a direct reflection of your shitty leadership. From now on you will provide him with a PME whenever he goes to the head to ensure this never happens again."
Surenough, he has to go and the DI sends him. He looks at me and says, "anytime bitch."
About 2 minutes later he's done and I let the DI know. He tell back to provide proof through my chain of command. He gives the toilet paper to me, I pass it to the the guide and the scribe had to record it while the artist recruit drew a picture.
Can't do that in today's softer gentler corps.

Dumb question, but if you fail out of boot camp are you dishonorably discharged?
Posted on 8/12/15 at 5:24 pm to N2cars
You mean fail as in couldn't pass a pt test but otherwise kept your nose clean? I would assume a general discharge.
