Basic Boot Camp Day

[SeanWicks07]

i bite my nails is that bad?

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Yes it is. In boot camp putting your hands anywhere near your face when you are washing it, eating, or shaving is not allowed.

[SeanWicks07]

lol better stop that then huh?

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

It would be a good idea. But, they'll break you of the habit quickly enough.

[SeanWicks07]

E4B Thank You. I am really not a disresectful *******. I just think this whole lets talk **** in the forum to another poolee and keep it up is stupid. I am a pretty quite kid.

Listen up, first if you move your eye balls they will be in your face. If you are at attention and you move, they will be in your face. If you move wrong they will be in your face. One DI will be out in front, but the others will be somewhere else around. If you don't move fast enough they will be in your face. This goes for the whole platoon and you will be bent or other fun things and games. Everyday is differant and there is something going to happen. Also you will all have classroom time, this is not classroom time of sort it is sweat time. You just have to go and go through it and earn the title like the rest of us did.

THank you

[SgtHMH]

Oh didn't you know that any NCO in the Corps can be a DI, just have to be picked and go to the school. All Sergeants in the Corps can go nuts at anytime, just push the right button and you will see the true attitude come out. As you get rank, you get to yell more and go off about things. I have had my moments at times, because chit rolls down hill. As a Marine NCO, you get to go off at times and that is part of Marine history of rank. Just don't think DIs go off, it is all NCOS that go off in the Corp when the time is right. Just think in a combat action area with what is going on and all the yelling to get the Marines moving and Hardcore to win the Battle. So it is not DIs that have attitudes, it is all Marine NCOs that have that attitude inside us at the right time to get the job and battles done.

Everything is on a schedule. Planned out days in advance. Even the pittings as a platoon are planned out. Sure individual pits are random, but that's only if you really mess up and they get the kill hat to run you to the pit while the rest of the platoon continues on the schedule.

[BR34]

LEtters help? so the more the better right? Another question. You have 3 sets of desert and 3 set of forest camis right? What uniform do you wear to church on sunday?

You actually have 2 deserts and 3 woodlands, not that it matters. You'll wear whatever you're told. And if you aren't wearing what everyone else is wearing then you probably went UnK on something (you never want to be in deserts when everyone else is in green).

[1stRad2671]

I was the scribe when I went through boot camp in '97. It was my duty to make 3x5 index cards with each day's schedule for each DI. I also made cards for myself as a backup. Well I finally found some that were stored away in a box.

LOL

[Marine84]

Sean - if you want to break the nail biting thing - run jalapeno peppers across your fingertips. Every time you stick that paw in your mouth you'll get burned.

[1stRad2671]

Here's the rest of it. Keep in mind this was from 10 years ago and at PI. There have probably been a few changes. Additionally they kicked us out of there the day before Thanksgiving so the final week's schedule was definately different. Senior Drill Instructor Time could be all sorts of things, good or bad.
