"The drill sergeants took turns on him" is not a sentence I ever thought I'd hear.

I also believe there is very few ways you can cry without the Drill Sergeant tearing you limb from limb. The number 1 is losing a loved one while in boot camp.

"he was gone in the morning" oh so they killed the guy over a bird

I have been and saw others hugged by drill sergeants, they can read a bad letter on your face. Had one of your guys during infantry training break down screaming and balling his eyes out, our drill sergeants immediately grabbed him up and pulled him in to the office, brought him cigarettes and alcohol. He was in there for 3 days with the Chaplin visiting every day. His wife and 4 month old daughter had been hit by a truck running a red light and they both passed away. Drills aren’t there to be mean they are there to make you a good soldier or marine. They don’t want to hurt you, they want to harden you! But they very much take both the physical and mental health of their soldiers and marines seriously!

I was 25 in boot and their mind games never worked on me, so they put me in charge of the guys that missed home and their girlfriends.

I’ll be honest, I cried not because of the training but because of missing so much events happening in my life that I couldn’t be there for. But in the end it was all worth it to earn that blue chord! 5months of pain for a lifetime of confidence is a trade I’ll take any day

If he was gone in morning why did he bother doing the PT

[Just_a_panda_sitting]

I remembered being in BCT when I was 18 and all my drill sgts. were all combat veterans, they pt the living hell out of us everyday of the week until our final ruck march and I mean everyday except Sundays. I remembered the one drill sgt. Telling us “we didn’t force you to join the army, you volunteered yourself….you miss your family’s? Well the ones to your left and right is your family now.” In that moment the words he said resonated with me and I remember looking to my left and right realizing I wasn’t the only one suffering physically and mentally. These men besides me who endured the same punishment and hardships were now my family. The training felt less difficult and the pain didn’t really bothered me too much, the rain and cold became warmer and the hot weathers felt cooler. I dont know how to explain that feeling that day but it was something that stuck to me for a long time. They became my family and we all became close as one unit. On the last day before graduation the senior drill sgt. came to us and said “I don’t know if you’ll believe me privates or take it for what it is worth but out of all the groups of privates I’ve trained over the years you guys were the best group I’ve trained so far.” Then he left.

Now I don’t complain much when I do hard labor work or task being in the civilian side of things I truly believe in teamwork a lesson I pick up from my SSG from my old unit that I became good friends with taught me this phase “Never tell someone to do something that you wouldn’t do yourself.” Ive never told anyone to do something I’ll never do myself neither in the army or civilian side. I was lucky enough to have met a lot of wise people before and after the military. I’ve taken those lesson to heart.

This is so funny, I had a DI after 2 weeks corner me thinking I just magically appeared cause he never noticed me. Pretty simple really, do what they ask of you and they wont even notice your there. Never talked, looked around, was very physically fit so always made sure my form was good. Never understood the guys that couldn't help themselves and would draw a target on themselves then it was game over.

[borednekoguy]

what I've learned from this
rule #1:don't disrespect the drill sergeant 💀

[middeh]

this video didnt even answer the question on what happens if you cry at boot camp. it just said a story where someone did cry and thats because they were being punished.

[angeliquediaz]

My drill sgt. gave me hard time to make me the best i could b. She smiled at me on my last day. Sgt. HEMPHILL, FT Jackson, S.C.. 1988

[rustyshackleford]

Idk what BCT this dude went to, but when I went, there was no such thing as individual punishment. It was everybody. We succeeded or failed as a team.
Sometimes they'd actually smoke everybody _except_ the guy that fucked up.
Standing there watching while 50 of your peers get punished for your actions is a pretty damn good motivator.

I almost got kicked out of bootcamp because some paperwork was done wrong at meps i was on watch and four weeks before graduation and my rdc was there and asked what was wrong and told i thought everything i did was for nothing and didnt want to get kicked out. I did graduate because a senior chief took a chance with me and im now in the navy

I cried when I found out how bad my grandmothers stroke, this was right before lights out. At first, the guys with me gave me shit, tben said sorry and left me alone. The drill sergeants said sorry for you going through that the next day.

[bobbiejothomas]

It takes a special kind of person to be a drill Sergeant I think. They have to have a certain amount of compassion and care in their hearts to be a good drill Sergeant, I think if they didn't care for the recuits they wouldn't be so hard on them. And maybe they enjoy screaming and burning asses😂😂. Thank you for everything you do for your soldiers and your country God bless you all 🙏❤️

In training I was picked to carry the guidon for my flight. During early weeks of training I wad standing at the position of attention with my staff and I remember in the Texas heat the staff would rub on the inside of where my thumb met my index finger it caused a large blister to form which was just extremely uncomfortable. I see my instructor walking around our flight as they fell into formation and I blurted out my reporting statement to my instructor. He let me speak and I told him about my problem of the blisters forming on my hands and it was painful trying to see if there was something we could do to mitigate the discomfort. He look at my hand and back at my face and in a very calm tone said to me "trainie, some men can't even hold that staff anymore because of what they sacrificed." That was it never spoke about it again

It's good to know that he understands that a majority of us care about him and support whatever decisions he makes moving towards. I've seen lots of people destroyed inside because they thought the vocal minority hating them were the majority opinion.

[stangabe]

I told my drill sergeant that I had a birthday, and he gave me a legit hug. No pt, just a hug. That was nice.

[seanthebarrelshooter]

Had a girl who was hated by the entire unit in basic. She had this superiority complex and attitude. Constantly talked about her struggles and how tough she is even though the area she lived in wasn't nearly as bad others in her state where a lot of us lived in. Was running the gauntlet and got to the rappelling portion of it where everybody was freaked out and had deathgrips on the line. She made it up there alongside me and freaked out and was balling her eyes out, and the drills being drills just berated her. It took me and one other soldier doing it alongside her and motivating her and yelling with the drills to get her to rappel. After them she was crazy humble and before getting out I saw her at my unit with an air assault patch on. We talked and she talked about how she was attempting to go into psyops. I really didnt do much in my time nor did I get promoted to E5 but overall im happy to have been an impact on the lives of those ive met and I still visit my unit once a month or so too see if they need anything. Still supply them with razors and stuff for deployments too for all the single guys. I hated the leadership of my unit but the Joe's, especially with us being mechanics, we gotta have each other's backs to deal with shitty leaders. Hell even at my lowest moments on deployment when I stopped eating and only focused on work and correcting the battalion benchstock it was my friends that forced me to slow down eat and recommended and me for an award having not received one but 2 and a coin. Good times, I still miss deployment.
