College Graduates, when you enter basic, what are your thoughts on somebody yelling at you instead of actually training you?

First rule of Ghost Operators, you don't speak about Ghost Operators.

He may have confused this site with a blog site for keyboard warriors playing Ghost Recon or some other such "role playing" game. Know several guys from special ops all branches and never saw them refer to themselves as a ghost operator!

Former deputy commander civil air part. Commanding.

First rule of Fight club, you dont talk about fight club

I'd add to that:
A college grad that doesn't understand WHY they are going to get yelled at, didn't get any smarter in college.

Hi, SFC Fullerton.

Certainly not all of them, but a lot of college grads that are young enough to join the military think they're smarter than everyone else. In Basic, it doesn't matter if a person is a genius or dumber than a box of rocks. We were all equally worthless.

you would be surprised that many college grads do not understand the purpose and procedures of building a Soldier. A civilian must be broken down, then built back up in the Military way. It can be traumatic for those who do not understand and/or are unprepared.

Agreed, SSG Unger

But they are too privileged and entitled to get yelled at. They need to be awarded trophies for learning how to zipper their blouses as well as other arduous activities such as reading one's smart book while in formation for an hour.
