We had a DS who was single and lived in an apartment on top of the barracks who would come frick with us whenever he got drunk. He'd do all kinds of funny shite. One that sticks out is we had a guy name Bass. DS Tsoukalis would bring in a fishing pole and make him flop around on the floor for an hour while he pretended to fish for him. He'd also stand on our kevlars while we were low crawling and not let us up until our mouths were full of dirt. Good times.

With all the forces cutting its pretty easy to get any discharge other than honorable.

Our brigade csm got a dwi shortly before deployment. That night I saw him in the store carrying two cases of beer. He was able to retire.

Any e5 and below that does that these days faces a dishonorable discharge. There was an e6 in my brigade that somehow received an honorable discharge after two dwi's.

I even had a guy in my company test positive for coke, reduced to e1, found a physician who wrote a letter stating how it was a false positive, have the battalion commander give him back his rank in front of the whole company only to test positive a second time. And was back down to a fuzzy

You don't fail so much as get recycled. I'd guess after so many times you'd get admin separated due to failure to adapt. General discharge maybe.

Guy peed I n his sleep, DI made him run around the parade grounds with it over his head :

In those days they could do whatever they wanted, hit you, smack you with a rifle, curse your MoM, sister etc

I just remembered the best part of the story. Next px run, our entire squad was forced to buy a pack of skivvies for him and we stored them in the whiskey locker.

Every night during hygiene inspection, he had to go up with the sick lame and crazies and perform inspection arms with that day's used underwear in front of the DI. First time I saw him pull the bolt (flap) back and present it to our drill instructor, I lost it and got smoked right then. It was worth it though.

We had a TI from our brother flight that would draw a smiley face on the tip of his finger and stick his finger in your face while yelling at you. It was the funniest shite, but god help you if you laughed.

Another TI saw a guy in our flight daydreaming and looking out into nowhere while he was teaching a class. He pulled the guy out and made him stand by the road while repeating, "I'm looking for something, I'm looking for something.". Over and over and over again.

Entry level seperation, is what you get if you just can't cut it in basic. If it's a medical issue or something similar it's ELS/Medical

One DI I made the mistake of saying i didn't like cookies to during forming, he conned me into saying cookies are for bitches, then screamed at me for 3 minutes because " he loves frickin' cookies, and hes the mother frickin' cookie monster". so every time we had cookies at chow he would come take mine and say " yea that's right cause I'm the cookie monster bitch"

Our senior was a big arse black guy, would always bust on this black kid who's name was rick james. Countless hilarious one liners.

Our Nick slayed these kids on the quarter deck for a solid hour, said he wasn't letting them go til they filled his canteen cup with sweat. When they were done he drank the shite in front of them.

First week our TI left us in formation outside the barracks and said he'd be right back don't move a muscle.

10 minutes go by and we can hear the click click of approaching TIs to our left. Out of nowhere we hear a yell, "HEY YOU!" 60 guys turn and look, another "HEY YOU!" 30 guys turn and look, a third "HEY YOU!" 4 or 5 of us turn and look and we are looking at each other like who the hell is he talking to. So I point my hand to my chest and he yells "YEAH YOU! GET THE FRICK OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" So I march over and stop at attention and give my little spill about reporting as ordered sir. He goes off on me "WHY YOU EYEBALLING ME BOY!" He continues to yell and spit in my face and he bumps the bridge of my nose wth his smokey the bear hat, so I flinched. He jumps and raises his fists yelling at me about attacking him and he will lay me out and not be responsible for his self defense actions etc etc. So by now three more TIs have got me surrounded yelling at me from all sides. I couldn't even understand what they were saying, just loud yelling. Finally I hear him tell me to get out of his face. I about faced and marched my arse back to the flight and NEVER answered to any call again.
