    A kid from my basic training threw his phone down the amnesty box. He tried to get it back and the drill sergeant was like “that chute goes to a f*cking dumpster guy”.

    I was injured during training so I was sitting on the sidelines just drawing in a notebook that I stuck in my camel back but my drill sergeant ended up finding it and he asked me to paint a mural on the wall in the bay so if anyone who goes to sand hill in D-1-46 you will see a American flag punisher skull

    My sister had a kidney infection when she first started boot camp. She had to be pulled out and put in the hospital for 2 weeks and then restart it. She was almost sent home because she was so sick they thought they might have to remove a kidney. My brother entered 2 weeks after her so they started at the same time. (They’re twins so it’s not surprising to me that they both decided to enlist). Now she’s stationed in South Korea and he’s starting army ranger training later this year. He just finished his military intelligence training thing, now he’s a 6’2” ginger who speaks fluent iraqi Arabic.

    Female drill sgt had overnight duty, I was working the CQ watch during sick call hours on a Sunday morning.
    DS looks at the sign out sheet for sick call, looks me dead ass in the face and said “ wtf is wrong with you guys all wanting to go to sick call? My pussy hurts but you don’t hear me crying about it.”

      Ya I remember those trainees tried to do that to me I had vicious words for them. I would threaten them by saying you'll clean all the traps out in every single shower if your faking it. We got away with so much stuff. We're doing Drill and ceremonies and the CSM walks up behind me and says why do they have they're hands in their pockets I said well they're holding the rocks....I said CSM they have suddenly forgotten their left from their right...he laughed and I don't see anything turned around and left....haha.

    A really tall black kid in my platoon in basic training just said ✌️and WENT HOME! Not only that, he took his rifle with him when he left! Before the army could track him down, he just showed back up and tried to sneak into morning formation like he’d never left! As we were standing there in formation, the MPs came up and quietly led him away in handcuffs. We never heard what ended up happening to him.

    I finished basic not too long ago. They don't have the shark attack anymore...but my drill sargeants might as well have done it. They made that first day(and the first week really) absolute hell. They got us paranoid whenever there was some type of downtime. Like i remember the "phantom drill sargeants" where you swear that you hear them screaming and smoking the other bay so you tell everyone around you to shut up...but nothing is actually happening. Like i was mentally messed up for the first 2 weeks really. And they still messed us up after that but the first week was definitely the most intense

  • @BloodRayneSalem

    I will say this, when I was in basic training, which was just only last year, I was lucky enough to have old-school drill sergeants who did not give a fuck about the new guidelines and Covid restrictions. Yeah it sucked ass in the moment, but when we got to our units we saw what we would have been had our drill sergeants not been so hard on us. I cannot tell you how many times I see privates straight out of AIT yell at SGT‘s, not saluting officers, not going to parade rest, not knowing how to salute properly, having fucked up uniforms, and not knowing how to properly stand in formation. When I tell you I was so pissed off when I found out that right after I had graduated basic training they allowed trainees to have their phones the entire cycle and they took away the shark attack, I was fucking livid. Now I’m happy that we didn’t get those privileges because it would’ve made us complacent and laid-back. I’ve been in my unit for a while now, and I’ve had to train newbies, and I don’t think I’ve yelled at somebody so much in my fucking life. My platoon SGT got so pissed off about the lack of discipline with the new guys that he now made a rule that every new guy’s job is to clean out and organize connexes for the first month they’re here 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I remember being at Reception @ Ft. Jackson, waiting for the buses and drill sergeants to arrive. We finally got the chance to talk with our drill sergeants and as soon as the bus arrived the drill sergeants switched. They went completely bonkers. The basic drill sergeants got off the buses and started yelling and getting us into formation so we can board. As one group was losing the buses the drill sergeants from basic all started yelling at once. We couldn’t figure out why until we (my group that was waiting) looked to the left where the pay phones are/were and seen this kid (grown man lol) talking on the phone.
    They tell him to hang up and he decides that he wants to continue to talk to whom ever he was talking to. They went fucking NUTS!! One of them walked up to him and started yelling in his ear to hang up. He got flustered and panicked. He tried hanging the phone up and just couldn’t. He put the receiver (the phone portion of the pay phone for those who may not know) on top of the phone rather than hanging up, he kept doing it until they snatched it from him and did it for him.
    He ended up in my company/platoon. Sad to say he didn’t make it far. He actually jumped off of a three story balcony and shattered his femur.
