:evilgrin: :no: "I know, I know, "THE OLD CORPS." How many time's have we heard this, even you young 'un's who have recently gotten out?" "Back in the Old Corps, we___________, you know the drill."
Well, I watch the military channel some times off'n my Directumtv, and I watch....."Phase One" MCRD Parris Island. (FYI, the only place Women recruits have for training). I just about can't believe my eye's, ears, as to what is this, Summer Camp? Little things lead to big things. I watch part of whatever Bn., of recruit's doing some drill movement's with their rifle's. "I WOULD'VE HAD A COW, AS SOME WOULD CALL IT NICELY, IF ANY OF MY RECRUIT'S DID ANY SUCH DRILL. HEAD'S MOVING, WRIST'S BENT, FOREARM'S NOT PARALLEL TO THE DECK, RIFLES WRAPPED BEHIND THEIR GORDS. Not one Drill Instructor going thru the ranks making adjustments. I guess in today's Corps, I may be wrong, Drill isn't important. Drill, marching, rifle, all taught...."Instant obedience to a lawful command without question....it taught discipline......it taught pride in oneself to be the very best, not ony did it happen at the moment, it carried over to each and all other things a recruit had to do." "It taught "team", squad, platoon to be as "one." Which in combat, if you had a "hot dog", or one "loner", he got his A*** sometime's in a crack, (don't mind the pun!!LOL) Then I watch this Plt. Commander, Chief Drill Instructor, Senior Drill Instructor, and I'm scratching my head. "What in the Name of Chesty is this ding dong, or Woman ding dong doing? Got some recruit's in the pit's, and they are talkin' to them? "This is why this...this is for....I mean c'mon here....!!!" You're giving out punishment, not baby sitting, I think?
"Oh, I don't like the chow." "Oh I'm so exhausted." "I don't know if I'll make it." Blah, blah. Now I don't know if they were prepted to say these thing's or if the "freedom of speech" , the 1st Amendment of the Constitution is freely at hand here." The "RECRUIT, PRIVATE IS able to at any time just open thine hole beneath thine nose and let sliver out anything a "recruit" wants to say?" I did enjoy one good ol' boy, and one good ol' gal (now don't get on me for sayin' that "gal" I mean it with respect to the opposite gender, as you know I'm looking for anyone to write me an e-mail, as to a proposal of being a true mate, LOL) And their living quarter's? "MOTEL 8-6, HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS?" Holy Moley!!" I could say, "well back when I was in the "Real Corps, as my predecessor's wouldn't hesitate to say, it was like__________!!" I won't. I just don't understand how these "kid's" get through recruit training with what was shown, what I seen, with what is now deemed, "Discipline, honor, integrity, all for one, a unit." Is it, there is some other form of new teaching, some other form of training that the would be Drill Instructors go through at Drill Instructor School, that I'm not aware of? Their Plt. Leader, when they were just a Jr. Drill Instructor, didn't teach them? I know times have changed as I was witnessing it before I got out in 75, off the field. All due to, not mommy cry babies, but this one Lt. Col., I mean a real tripple dipple 62 flavor "IDIOT" (No disrespect intended here to any Officer's, he was I think just pulling to the left a bit) he became Reg'l Commander, not Post Commander, and first Bn., was the first one's who caught the brunt of his silliness. Teaching "Monkey Drill?" He was heard to say, that doing this would help the Recruit's "stress level?" "I think the movie, "Stripe's was not yet born, but somebody got help from 1st Bn., to give idea's." LOL. The Drill Instructor's were under such scrutiny, they could barely let a silent one go, without somebody telling on them..."I want to see, "Request Mast!" (Is this still what they call it?). "Sir my Plt. Comdr. let one silent one, it made me sick, I think this is so wrong, Sir.!" (Go to humpback mtn, call me in my next life time) I might've told them. I had classmate's go through with me, they dreaded every minute they had to come to work, if they ever got to leave. In fact if I'm not mistaken, this one who followed me in another class told me, I knew him from, "where in the hell is 29 Palms", he had made Gunny. He said, he wasn't allowed to leave, only Jr's were. That's how nutsoid this Reg'l Commander was. Spie's? Then, "you will be in the recruit's squad bay at o-dark+30-45hr's, which was basically one hour prior to the Pvt's gettin' their A****s outta the rack. What the hell for? Be met by a Capt. Lt., even had a Major greet me from hidden behind a center support beam. (I had that maggot, Firewatch Pvt., in the pit's, lawfully with my card from beneath my cover, in hand, doing as much as I could possibly do to him because he didn't advise me, "officer on deck!!") He took it like a Man. I would really like some input on this, help an ol' salt out here will ya'll? That'll be all, carry on Maggot's.
